Frequently Asked Questions - BPI6230BL BRANDT

What should I do if the hob does not turn on?

Check the power supply (fuses and circuit breaker). If the child lock is activated (lock symbol), unlock it by pressing and holding the key. If the malfunction persists, contact the After-Sales Service.

How do I lock the controls?

Press the key until the lock symbol appears and a beep sounds. To unlock, repeat the operation. The on/off key remains active even when locked for safety reasons.

What does the F7 code displayed mean?

The F7 code indicates overheating of the electronic circuits. Check the hob's ventilation (see installation chapter). If the problem persists, improve ventilation or contact the After-Sales Service.

How do I clean the ceramic glass hob?

For light dirt, use a cleaning sponge with warm water. For stubborn dirt, use a special glass scraper then a sponge. Against limescale, apply hot white vinegar. Never use abrasive powder or steam cleaner.

Why is the H symbol displayed?

The H symbol indicates residual heat. The cooking zone is still hot after use. Do not touch this zone while the symbol is displayed.

How do I activate the Boost function?

Press the BOOST key to activate maximum power on a compatible zone. Caution: simultaneous use of Boost on multiple zones may cause automatic limitation. Refer to the recommended positioning diagrams in the manual.

How do I set the timer?

Select the active zone, press the corresponding key, then set the time (0 to 99 min) with the + and - keys. At the end of cooking, a beep sounds for 20 seconds. To cancel, press and hold + and - simultaneously.

What to do in case of overflow?

If an overflow covers the keys, the hob emits a beep and displays a symbol (→). Clean and dry the keys, then restart cooking. If a metal object is placed on the keys, remove it.

Which cookware is compatible with induction?

Use cookware with the induction symbol (spiral). The base must be thick and flat. The base diameter must match the cooking zone (see table in the manual). A base that is too small will prevent the zone from working.

What is the Clean Lock function for?

The Clean Lock function temporarily locks the hob to facilitate cleaning without risk of changing settings. Activate it by a short press on the key. The lock disables automatically after about 1 minute, or manually by a long press on the key.

BRANDT is delighted to assist you every day and hopes you get the most out of your purchase.

Important: Before using your appliance, read this user guide carefully to familiarise yourself more quickly with its operation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO BE READ CAREFULLY AND KEPT FOR FUTURE USE.

This guide can be downloaded from the brand web site.

This appliance can be used by children over 8 years old and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience and knowledge if they have been correctly informed or trained in the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children must not play with the appliance.

Children must not clean and maintain the appliance without supervision.

Children under 8 years old must be kept away from the hob unless they are supervised at all times.

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use.

Precautions must be taken to avoid touching the heating elements.

Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must not be placed on the cooking surface as they may heat up.

Your hob is equipped with a child safety device that locks its operation after use or during cooking (See "Child Safety use" section).

Your appliance complies with applicable European Directives and regulations.

In order to avoid interference between your cooking hob and a pacemaker, the pacemaker must be designed and programmed in compliance with the regulations that apply to it. Ask the pacemaker manufacturer or your GP.

Leaving oil or fat to heat unattended on a hob may be dangerous and lead to fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch off the appliance, then cover the flame with a lid or a fire blanket.

CAUTION: cooking must be monitored. Quick heating must be monitored at all times.

Danger of fire: do not store objects on the cooking areas.

If the surface is cracked, disconnect the appliance to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Do not use your hob until you have replaced the glass worktop.

Avoid hard shocks from cookware: although the vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy, it is not unbreakable.

Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface. Avoid

dragging cookware across the surface, which may in the long-term result in the degradation of the decorative finish of the vitroceramic top.

Never use a sheet of aluminium for cooking. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob. The aluminium will melt and permanently damage your appliance.

Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your cooking hob.

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service department or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger. Ensure that the power cables of any electrical appliances plugged in close to the hob are not in contact with the cooking zones.

1.2 FITTING INTO THE WORK TOP

Check that the air intake and outlet are free of obstruction (1.2.1).

For standard fitting, refer to diagrams A or C. For flush-fitting, refer to diagrams B or D.

Comply with the information concerning the fitting dimensions (in millimetres) of the work top destined to receive the hob (1.2.2). Glue the sealing joint to the entire surround of the hob (depending on model) (1.2.3), before fitting. Check that air circulates correctly between the front and the back of your hob.

If you are installing the hob above a drawer (1.2.4) or above a built-in oven (1.2.5), comply with the dimensions provided on the illustrations to ensure a sufficient air outlet at the front.

If your hob is located above your oven, the hob's thermal safety devices can impede the simultaneous use of the hob and the oven's pyrolysis programme, display code "F7" in the control zones. In such circumstances we recommend that you increase the hob's ventilation by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet (8 x 5 cm).

1.3 ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

These hobs must be connected to the power grid via an all-pole cut-off device that complies with installation regulations in effect. A disconnection device must be incorporated into the fixed wiring.

Identify the type of cable of your hob according to the number of wires and colours:

• 3-wire cable (1.3.1):
  a) green-yellow, b) blue, c) brown.
• 5-wire cable (1.3.2 and 1.3.3):
  a) green-yellow, b) blue, c) brown, d) black, e) grey.

When switching your hob on or after a lengthy power cut, a code is shown on the control pad (this display is reserved for your after-sales service, where applicable. The user of the hob does not need to take notice of it).

This information disappears after around 30 seconds.

3.1 CHOICE OF COOKWARE

Cookware with the symbol are compatible with induction.

We suggest that you choose cookware with a thick and flat bottom. The heat

will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.

Advice on how to save energy

Cooking with the correctly sized lid saves energy. If you use a glass lid, you can control your cooking perfectly.

3.2 BURNER SELECTION

Select the burner which is the right size for the bottom of your cookware (see table). If the base or the cookware is too small, the power indicator will start to flash and the burner will not work, even if the cookware's material is recommended for induction.

Burner diameter	Hob model	Maximum power of burner (Watts)	Diameter of bottom of cookware
16 cm		2000	10 to 18 cm
		2200
18 cm	[X650]	2800	12 to 22 cm
21 cm	[7DZZ]	3100	12 to 24 cm
28 cm	[66KZ]	4000	15 to 32 cm
Duozone		3600	Oval, fish cooker
HoriZone	[5ZYZ]	4000	18 cm, oval, fish cooker

When you use maximum power (Boost) on several burners at once, position your cookware following the model of your hob as indicated on the illustrations (3.2.1 - 3.2.2 - 3.2.3 - 3.2.4 - 3.2.5).

☑ = recommended positioning.

☒ = positioning to avoid.

In this way you will avoid automatic power limitation on one of the burners if positioning is not optimal.

4.1 SWITCHING ON - STOPPING

Switching on:

Press the ① off button (4.1.1) then the button to select the burner you want (4.1.2). A 0 is displayed and a beep indicates that the cooking zone is on. You can adjust the required power of the burner selected. If the power level is not set, the cooking zone will be switched off automatically.

Each cooking zone has its own timer which can be adjusted up to 99 minutes. It can be used as soon as the cooking zone concerned is turned on.

Press the selected burner's button; a light dot is displayed to the right (4.3.1) (depending on model).

Press+ or - to set the time. It is possible to directly access 99 minutes by pressing the - key from the beginning (4.3.2).

When the cooking is finished, 0 is displayed and a beep sounds for around 20 seconds. To cancel the timer, press any button for the particular cooking zone being used.

To stop the timer manually, hold + and - down at the same time or return to 0 using the -

button. Press to see how much time is left.

4.4 CHILD SAFETY

Your hob has a child safety device which locks the controls when the hob is not in use or when it is being used for cooking. Due to safety reasons, the key remains active and authorises the heating zones to be switched off even when locked.

Locking:

Press until the locking symbol disappears and a beep confirms your operation (4.4).

The cooking zones that are active are then displayed, alternating between the power and the locking symbol.

Unlocking:

Press until the locking symbol disappears and a beep confirms your operation.

CLEAN LOCK function:

The Clean Lock function permits the temporary locking of your hob while it is being cleaned. To activate the Clean Lock function, perform a short press on the key; a beep sounds and the symbol flashes. After around 1 minute, locking is automatically deactivated. Two beeps will sound and the symbol will disappear. You can stop the Clean Lock function at any time by holding down the button.

4.5 Recall- function (button)

This function lets you display the last "power and timer" settings for all the burners which were switched off less than 3 minutes previously. The hob must be unlocked to use this function. Press the On / Off button then perform a short press on the button.

When the hob is operating, the function lets you see the power and timer settings for the burner(s) which have been switched off for less than 30 seconds.

4.6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Residual heat:

After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes.

The "H" symbol is displayed during this period (4.6.1).

Avoid touching the areas concerned during this time.

Anti-overheat protection:

Each cooking zone has a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that empty cookware is left on a cooking zone that is switched on, the hob automatically lowers the power output and thus limits any risk of damage.

Protection against overflows:

A special display (symbol →), a sound signal, followed with the hob switching off, may be triggered in the following cases:

- Overflow that spills onto the buttons (4.6.2). - Metallic object placed on the buttons (4.6.3). Remove the object or clean and dry the buttons, then restart cooking.

Auto-stop:

Your hob has an auto-stop device, which automatically stops any cooking zone which remains switched on for an excessive length of time (between 1 and 10 hours depending on the power used).

If this safety system is triggered, the cut-off to the cooking zone is shown with the "AS" display on the control panel and a beep sounds for about 2 minutes. Simply press any of the buttons to stop this.

Sounds which are similar to those of a clock mechanism may be given off.

These noises occur when the hob is working. They disappear or reduce depending on the heating configuration. There may also be whistling sounds depending on the model and quality of your cookware. The noises described are normal. They are related to induction technology and do not indicate a problem.

Advice on how to save energy

When cooking with the grill or empty cookware, we recommend that you do not use maximum power (Boost).

5

For light dirt, use a disinfectant sponge. Thoroughly moisten the zone to be cleaned with hot water, then wipe off (5).

For a build-up of baked-on dirt or sweet overflows, use a disinfectant sponge and/or a special glass scraper. Thoroughly moisten the zone to be cleaned with hot water. Use a scraper for glass to remove the large bits, finish off with a disinfectant sponge, and then wipe off.

For rings and hard water residue, apply warm white vinegar to the stain, leave on, then wipe with a soft cloth.

For shiny metal streaks or weekly maintenance, use a special vitroceramic glass product.

Important note: do not use any powders or abrasive sponges. Use creams and special delicate glassware sponges.

6.1 DURING INITIAL USE:

- An indicator light appears. This is normal. It will go away after 30 seconds.

- Your installation blows a fuse or one side only of the hob works. The electrical connection of your hob is incorrect. Check its compliance (see connection chapter 1.3).

- The hob smells the first few times it is used for cooking. The appliance is new. Heat up each ring for half an hour with a saucepan full of water.

6.2 WHEN POWERING ON:

The hob does not work and the indicator lights on the control panel are not on.

The appliance is not receiving electricity. The electrical supply is defective or the connection is incorrect. Inspect the electrical circuit breaker and fuses.

- The hob does not work and another message is displayed. The electronic board is functioning poorly. Call the After-Sales Service Department.

- The hob does not work, the symbol is displayed. Unlock the child safety device (see connection chapter 4.4).

- Error code F9: voltage less than 170 V

- Error code F0: voltage less than 5°C

6.3 DURING USE:

- The hob has stopped working. The symbol — is displayed and there is a sound signal.

There was an overflow or an object is in contact with the control panel. Clean or remove the object, then begin cooking again.

- Code F7 is displayed.

The electronic circuits have overheated. Check the hob's ventilation (see chapter on fitting 1.2).

- During operation of a heating zone, the keypad display continues to flash.

The cookware used is not compatible with induction or its size is not suitable for the burner (see chapter 3).

- The cookware makes noise and your hob clicks during cooking (see chapter on Safety precautions and recommendations 4.5).

This is normal with some types of cookware. This is caused by the transfer of energy from the hob to the cookware.

- The fan continues to function after your hob is turned off.

This is normal. It cools the electronic parts.

- In the event of persistent malfunction.

Switch off your hob for 1 minute. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
