Do not use cookware that has sharp edges or a rounded bottom.

natural_image
Four identical cooking pots with crossed-out X marks, shown in different orientations (no text or symbols)Make sure the bottom of your pot is level, sits flat on the glass surface and is the same size as the hob. Only use pots whose diameter is as large as the marking on the hob. If you use a slightly larger pot, the energy is consumed at the highest efficiency level. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency might be lower than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm might not be detected by the induction hob. Always place the pot in the middle of the hob.
You can perform a magnet test to check the usability. Move a magnet in the direction of the bottom of the pot. If the magnet is attracted to it, the pot is suitable for induction.

COOKING TIPS

WARNING
Risk of fi re! Take special care when deep-frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly. At very high temperatures, oil and grease can ignite spontaneously, and therefore pose an enormous fi re risk.
Tips for cooking
- Reduce the heat when the food starts to cook.
- Using a pot lid reduces the preparation time and saves energy by retaining the heat.
- Minimise the amount of water or fat to reduce preparation time.
- Start the cooking process with a high heat setting and reduce the heat as soon as the food has heated up completely.
Simmering, cooking rice
- When simmering, the contents of the pot are cooked below the boiling point at about 85^ . Bubbles occasionally rise to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is the key to delicious soups and delicate stews, as it allows the fl avour to develop without overcooking the food. You should also prepare egg-based and fl our-thickened sauces below the boiling point.
- Preparing rice using the absorption method may require a higher power setting to ensure that the rice cooks in the recommended time.
Searing steak
- Let the meat rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan.
- Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle some of the oil into the hot pan and then place the steak in it.
-
Turn the steak over only once during searing. The length of searing depends on the thickness of the steak and how well done you want it to be in the end. The time can vary from 2-8 minutes per side. Press on the steak (for example with a fork or cooking spoon) to check how cooked through it is. The firmer it feels, the more cooked through it is.
-
Then place the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes to rest and tenderise.
Stir-frying food
- Select an induction-compatible shallow wok or large pan.
- Have all the ingredients and accessories ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If you have large quantities of food, fry them in portions and not all at once.
- Preheat the pan briefly and add two teaspoons of oil.
- Fry the meat first and take it out and keep it warm.
- Fry the vegetables while stirring. When the vegetables are hot but still firm to the bite, reduce the heat setting of the hob, place the meat in the pan and add your sauce.
- Gently stir the ingredients together to ensure that everything is warmed up.
- Serve the food immediately.

CLEANING AND CARE
- Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
- Before cleaning, make sure that the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator ("H") has gone out.
- Important: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they could scratch or damage the glass surface.
- Clean the hob after each use (when it has cooled down) to remove food residues and stains.
- Sugar or foods with a high sugar content can damage the hob surface and must be removed immediately.
- Salt, sugar and sand can scratch the glass surface.
- Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a special hob cleaner (follow the manufacturer's instructions).
TROUBLESHOOTING

Noise caused by the induction hob
- Induction hobs may produce whistling or crackling noises during normal operation, caused by the pots and pans due to the nature of the bases (e.g. bases made of several layers of material or uneven bases). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food they contain, and are not an indication of a defect of any kind.
- In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of the electronic components. Therefore, the sound of the cooling fan can be heard during operation and for a few minutes after the hob has been switched off. This is completely normal and even essential for the proper functioning of the unit.
Power connection
This hob may only be connected to the mains by a suitably qualified person.
Before connecting the hob to the mains, check that the following points apply:
- The house installation must be suitable for the power supply of the hob.
- The voltage corresponds to the specifications on the type plate.
- The cable sections of the power supply are suitable for the load specified on the type plate.
- No adapters, reducers or branching devices may be used to connect the hob to the mains supply, as they can lead to overheating and the risk of fire.
- The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be routed so that the temperature does not exceed 75 □ at any point.
- The power supply should be connected according to the relevant standard or via a single-pole circuit breaker. The wiring method is shown below.
