For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly. Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

• To prevent overheating and improve the performance of the zones, the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.

• For Pan-frying function only use pans with flat bottom.

• Ensure cookware bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.

• Always be careful no to slide or rub the cookware on the edges and corners of the glass or the side trim as it may chip or damage the glass surface. Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain. Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:

• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware. Cookware dimensions

• Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.

• The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.

• For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in "Cooking zones specification". Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions. Refer to "Technical data".

7.2 Noises during operation

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).

• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).

• humming: you use a high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs, cookware is detected after you place it on the hob.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.

7.3 Hints and tips for Hob²Hood

When you operate the hob with the function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.

• Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.

• Do not cover the hob control panel.

• Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (e.g. with the hand, a cookware handle or a tall pot). See the picture. The hood pictured below is for illustration purpose only. ENGLISH 175Keep the window of the Hob²Hood infrared signal communicator clean. Other remotely controlled appliances may block the signal. Do not use any such appliances near to the hob while Hob²Hood is on. Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood function To find the full range of cooker hoods which work with this function refer to our consumer website. The AEG cooker hoods that work with this function must have the symbol .

8. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

8.1 General information

• Clean the hob after each use.

• Always use cookware with a clean base.

• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.

• Use a special cleaning agent suitable for the surface of the hob.

• Always use a scraper recommended for hobs with a glass surface. Use the scraper only as an additional tool for cleaning the glass after the standard cleaning procedure. WARNING! Do not use knives or any other sharp, metal tools to clean the glass surface.

• For the metal side trim, use only a dishwashing detergent with warm water. Use a cloth to clean and wipe the trim. WARNING! Do not use the mildly abrasive cleaning milk, any polishing detergents, scrapers, or the hard layer of a sponge to clean the side trim.

• The gap between the glass surface and the side trim may gather dirt and small particles of food. Use a wooden toothpick to clean the gap between the glass surface and the side trim. WARNING! Do not use any sharp metal tools to clean the gap as they may widen the gap and damage the side trim or the glass surface.

8.2 Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.

• Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat 176 ENGLISHstains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non- abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.

• Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
