7. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 Cookware

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.
• 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 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. Refer to "Technical data" > "Cooking zones specification" for correct cookware dimensions. Place the cookware in the centre of the selected cooking zone.

• The efficiency of a cooking zone is related to the diameter of the cookware. For optimal heat transfer use cookware with bottom diameter similar to the size of the cooking zone (i.e. the maximum cookware diameter value in "Technical data" > "Cooking zones specification").

• Cookware with a diameter smaller than the size of a given cooking zone receives only part of the power generated by the cooking zone which results in slower heating.

• 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

The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction. Cookware noises may vary depending on the cookware material and the power level.

Cookware-related noises:

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

Hob-related noises:

• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
• rhythmic sound: cookware is detected.

7.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.

7.4 Simplified cooking guide

The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a

cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.

Heat setting Use to: Time	Hints(min)
1 Keep cooked food warm. as neces-sary	Put a lid on the cookware.
1 - 2 Hollandaise sauce; melt: butter, choco- late, gelatine.	5 - 25 Mix from time to time.
2 Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked eggs. 10 - 40 Cook with a lid on.
2 - 3 Simmer rice and milk-based dishes, heat up ready-cooked meals.	25 - 50 Add at least twice as much liquid as rice, mix milk dishes halfway through the procedure.
3 - 4 Stew vegetables, fish, meat. 20 - 45 Add a few tablespoons of water.	Check the water amount during the process.
4 - 5 Steam potatoes and other vegetables. 20 - 60 Cover the bottom of the pot with 1-2 cm of water. Check the water level during the process. Keep the lid on the pot.
4 - 5 Cook larger quantities of food, stews and soups.	60 - 150 Up to 3 l of liquid plus ingredients.
6 - 7 Gentle fry: escalope, veal cordon bleu, cutlets, rissoles, sausages, liver, roux, eggs, pancakes, doughnuts.	as neces-sary Turn over when needed.
7 - 8 Heavy fry, hash browns, loin steaks, steaks.	5 - 15 Turn over when needed.
9 Boil water, cook pasta, sear meat (goulash, pot roast), deep-fry chips.
P Boil large quantities of water. PowerBoost is activated.

  Always use cookware with a clean base.
• For both daily cleaning of the glass surface and the post-installation cleaning and removal of any residual glue, use only a mildly abrasive cleaning milk and an anti-scratch, delicate sponge. Depending on the degree of soiling, clean the glass surface with small circular movements and moderate pressure. Wipe the glass surface dry with a microfibre cloth.

WARNING!

Do not use the classic yellow and green sponge as the aluminium particles on its hard layer may damage and discolour the glass.

Using cleaning tools different than the recommended ones will not be effective and may damage or discolour the glass surface.

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.

The printing on the flexible induction cooking area may become dirty or change its colour as an effect of moving the cookware. You can clean the area in the described way.

8.2 Cleaning the glass surface of 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 stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a mildly abrasive cleaning milk and an anti-scratch, delicate sponge (see General information). After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a microfibre cloth.
• Persistent marks and stains: apply moderate pressure and scrub the surface

You did not set the heat setting for 50 seconds.		Activate the hob again and set the heat setting in less than 50 seconds.
You touched 2 or more sensor fields at the same time.		Touch only one sensor field.
Pause operates. Refer to "Pause".
There is water or fat stains on the control panel.		Clean the control panel.
You can hear a constant beep noise.	The electrical connection is incor- rect.	Disconnect the hob from the electrical supply. Ask a qualified electrician to check the installation.
You cannot select the maximum heat setting for one of the cook- ing zones. You cannot activate one of the cooking zones.	The other zones consume the maxi- mum available power. Your hob works properly.	Reduce the heat setting of the other cooking zones connected to the same phase. Refer to "Power management".
An acoustic signal sounds and the hob deactivates. An acoustic signal sounds when the hob is deactivated.	You put something on one or more sensor fields.	Remove the object from the sensor fields.
The hob deactivates. You put something on the sensor field ①		Remove the object from the sensor field.
Residual heat indicator does not come on.	The zone is not hot because it oper- ated only for a short time or the sen- sor is damaged.	If the zone operated sufficiently long to be hot, speak to an Authorised Service Centre.
Hob2Hood does not work. You covered the control panel. Remove the object from the control panel.
You use a very tall pot which blocks the signal.		Use a smaller pot, change the cooking zone or operate the hood manually.
The control panel becomes hot to the touch.	The cookware is too large or you put it too close to the control panel.	Put large cookware on the rear zones, if possible.
There is no sound when you touch the panel sensor fields.	The sounds are deactivated. Activate the sounds. Refer to "Daily use".
The flexible induction cooking area does not heat up the cookware.	The cookware is in a wrong position on the flexible induction cooking area.	Place the cookware in the correct position on the flexible induction cooking area. The position of the cookware depends on the activated function or function mode. Refer to "Flexible induction cooking area".
The diameter of the bottom of the cookware is incorrect for the activated function or function mode.	Use cookware with a diameter applicable to the activated function or function mode. Refer to "Flexible induction cooking area".
comes on.	Child Safety Device or Lock oper-ates.	Refer to "Child Safety Device" and "Lock".
The control bar blinks. There is no cookware on the zone or the zone is not fully covered.	Put cookware on the zone so that it fully covers the cooking zone.
The cookware is unsuitable. Use cookware suitable for induction		hobs. Refer to "Hints and tips".
The diameter of the bottom of the cookware is too small for the zone.	Use cookware with correct dimensions. Refer to "Technical data".
FlexiBridge (Flexible Bridge) operates. One or more sections of the function mode which operates are not covered by the cookware.	Place the cookware on the correct number of sections of the function mode which operates or change the function mode. Refer to "Flexible induction cooking area".
Heating up takes a long time. Cookware is too small and receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.	For optimal heat transfer use cookware with bottom diameter similar to the size of the cooking zone (i.e. the maximum cookware diameter value in "Technical data" > "Cooking zones specification").
comes on.	PowerSlide operates. Two pots are placed on the flexible induction cooking area or the cookware covers more than one cooking area activated by the function.	Use only one pot. Refer to "Flexible induction cooking area".
and a number come on.	There is an error in the hob. Deactivate the hob and activate it again after 30 seconds. If comes on again, disconnect the hob from the electrical supply. After 30 seconds, connect the hob again. If the problem continues, speak to an Authorised Service Centre.
