1.2 How the induction hob works

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. The heat is generated directly in the metal of the cookware by electromagnetic vibrations and not indirectly by heating the glass surface. The glass only becomes hot because it is finally heated by the cookware.

Cookware Magnetic circuit Glass ceramic plate Induktion coil Induced currents

2. Before use

• Read this guide, taking special note of the Safety instructions section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob.

Note: When the hob is used for the first time, production residues may cause an odour and even slight smoke to develop.

This is normal and harmless.

Keep the room well ventilated until these have disappeared (max. 30 min.).

2.1 Notes on using the touch controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure that the controls are always clean and dry. Even a thin film of water can make them difficult or impossible to operate.
• Avoid placing objects on the control panel, dragging anything over it or wiping it. This may cause the hob to switch on or off unintentionally.

2.2 Choosing the right cookware and its use

Only use cookware suitable for induction operation. Pay attention to the labelling when buying it.

As a reminder: magnetic cookware is also suitable for induction.

Warning symbol and cooking pot icon with exclamation mark

Note:

The proportion of magnetic metal particles varies with different types of cookware. The higher the proportion, the more efficient the heating and the better the automatic detection of the hob of cookware (described in the following). Even induction cookware of inferior quality (e.g. aluminium pots with glued-on magnetic base plates) can impair the function.

Automatic detection of suitable cookware

The hob has an automatic recognition system for suitable cookware. If no cookware suitable for induction is detected on a cooking zone, this is indicated by the icon on the corresponding cooking zone display.

This can have the following reasons:

• The cookware used is not suitable for induction.
• The cookware was not placed on the selected cooking zone.
• The cookware was not placed in the middle of the cooking zone.
  • The cookware is too small.

If no suitable cookware is detected, the operation of the corresponding cooking zone does not start. After one minute it is automatically switched off.

Correct use of the cookware

Note: Before using the cookware, make sure that its base is clean. Soiling such as sand residue from peeling potatoes can damage the cooking surface.

• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth and sits flat against the glass.
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
• Use cookware with a minimum base diameter according to the following table.
• For best efficiency, always place the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
  • Always lift pans off the hob. Do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Optimal cookware dimensions

The bottom of your cookware should have a certain size according to the cooking zone:

Base diameter of the cookware (mm)

Problem Possible cause What to do

Scratches on the glass surface	Metal abrasion or other soiling may appear like scratches.	Glass ceramic is more abrasion resistant than steel. Abrasion marks caused by this do not represent damage and can be removed with an appropriate cleaning agent.
	Unsuitable cookware is used.	Use cookware with a clean, even and smooth bottom (see chapter on cookware).
	Unsuitable cleaning agents or utensils are used.	Only use cleaning agents and utensils suitable for glass surfaces (see cleaning chapter).
Some pans or pots make crackling or clicking noises.	The cookware consists of different metal layers.	The metal layers of the cookware vibrate differently when heated. This is harmless and normal.
A slight humming noise can be heard when operating at high power.	This can be caused by induction technology.	This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely by reducing the power level.
Fan noise A cooling fan integrated in the hob prevents the electronics from overheating. If necessary, it continues to run even after the hob is switched off.		This is normal and necessary for error-free operation. Do not disconnect the appliance from the power supply while the fan is running. To avoid functional restrictions, ensure that the ambient temperature is appropriate and that there is good ventilation.
abnormal fan noise The cooling fan is damaged.		Contact a certified electrician
Malfunction / Display of an error code	Fluctuations in the power supply system	Disconnect the hob from the power supply for about 20 minutes (switch off the fuse) and then switch it on again.

9. Installation

9.1 Important notes and installation requirements

• The hob must be installed by a qualified electrician.
• A circuit breaker (fuse) providing full disconnection from the mains power supply must be integrated into the permanent wiring and comply with local regulations.
• This fuse must be tested and have at least 3 mm clearance around all poles (or around all active [phases] conductors, if provided for in the regulations).
• The fuse must be easily accessible.
• Contact a suitably qualified professional, if you are not sure about the installation.
• The work top must be made of insulating and heat-resistant material to prevent electric shocks and deformation caused by heat radiation. Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material must not be used as a material for the worktop unless it is impregnated.
• The worktop must be flat and horizontal and nothing must protrude into the work area.
• The wall above the work surface, adjacent and surrounding surfaces, and any adhesives used must be heat-resistant up to 90°C.
• If the hob is installed above a drawer, furniture compartment, etc. or is accessible from below, a thermal protection barrier must be fitted below the base of the hob (described in the following).
• Use surfaces that are easy to clean (e.g. ceramic tiles) as wall surfaces around the cooking area.
• The hob must not be installed on cooling equipment, dishwashers or drum dryers.
• The hob must be installed in such a way that good heat radiation can be guaranteed to ensure proper functioning.
• Under any circumstances, make sure that the hob is well ventilated and that the supply and exhaust air is not blocked. To do this, follow the instructions described in the following.

9.2 Cutting the worktop

- Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the following drawing.

Note: Before carving, check that the dimensions indicated correspond to the dimensions of the product.

• Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30 mm. Choose a heat-resistant work surface material.
• The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop must be at least 3 mm.
• For the purposes of installation and use, at least 5 cm space must be kept around the cut-out.

• If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven must have its own fan. The safety distance between the bottom of the hob and the oven must be at least 50 mm.
• The installation must comply with all distance regulations and other regulations.

9.4 Inserting the hob

Note: On the outside of the hob there are ventilation openings. When inserting the hob, make absolutely sure that they are not blocked by the worktop.

Fixing the hob using the mounting brackets

• Place the hob on a stable, smooth surface (For example, use the packaging as a base).
  • Make sure that no pressure is exerted on the elements protruding from the hob.
• Screw 4 mounting brackets to the underside of the hob as shown in the figure:

- Select the position of the brackets according to the worktop thickness.

• Make sure that the brackets do not touch the inner surfaces of the worktop.
