Frequently Asked Questions - GK45TEPS V-ZUG

How do I activate the childproof lock on my V-ZUG GK45TEPS hob?

To activate the childproof lock, switch the hob on, ensure all cooking zones are off, then press and hold the Pause and Timer touch buttons simultaneously. An acoustic signal sounds. Then press the Timer button again. The symbol i appears in all displays for 10 seconds.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

After a cooking zone is switched off, the H symbol remains illuminated in the display as long as the zone is still hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch the zone until the symbol disappears.

Can I use any cookware on this induction hob?

Only cookware with a magnetic base (e.g., cast iron, stainless steel with magnetic bottom) is suitable. The base must be flat, clean, and dry. Avoid aluminium or aluminium-alloy bases as they can leave marks. For best energy efficiency, match the cookware diameter to the cooking zone.

How do I set the timer independently of cooking zones?

Switch the hob on, then press the Timer touch button twice. 0 flashes. Use any slider to set the desired time (1–99 minutes). To change it later, press the Timer button twice again and adjust. The timer will sound when finished.

What is the wipe protection function and how do I use it?

Wipe protection prevents accidental changes to power levels when cleaning the control panel. Press the Wipe Protection touch button; its indicator lights up. The function switches off automatically after 30 seconds or by pressing the button again. You can still switch off the hob at any time.

How does the automatic boost work?

The automatic boost function allows a cooking zone to operate at power level 9 for a set duration (depending on the selected power level, e.g., 1 minute for power 1) and then automatically returns to the chosen level. To activate, press and hold the desired power level on the slider for 3 seconds. B and the power level flash alternately. It must be reactivated each time the zone is turned on.

What should I do if the hob displays an error code?

If a number plus E appears, an internal error occurred. Note the error number and the serial number (FN) from the identification plate. Then contact V-ZUG Customer Services. For other error messages like flashing i or H, consult the troubleshooting section in the manual.

How can I temporarily reduce power to all cooking zones?

Use the Pause Cooking function. Press the Pause touch button; all active zones reduce to power level 1 for up to 10 minutes. The operating time is paused but the timer continues. To resume, press the Pause button again. If not deactivated within 10 minutes, the hob switches off completely.

Is it safe to leave the hob unattended while cooking?

No, it is not recommended. The manual warns against leaving the hob unattended, especially when cooking with fat or oil due to fire risk. Always stay nearby and use features like automatic boost or timer with caution. The hob has safety shut-off but should not be relied upon for unattended cooking.

How do I clean stubborn burnt-on food from the glass ceramic surface?

Allow the hob to cool, then use a glass ceramic scraper to gently remove residues while still warm (if not burnt). For hardened deposits, apply a suitable glass ceramic cleaner with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. For sugary spills, clean immediately while hot to prevent damage.

3.3 Cookware

Suitable cookware

Cookware should have a stable base. When heated, the base of the cookware must lie flat on the surface of the cooking zone.

Cookware made of metal is more suitable than that made of glass or ceramic as with metal the heat is distributed evenly quicker.

Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn abrasion marks on the glass ceramic surface that are very difficult to remove.

Energy-efficient cooking

For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:

• The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
• The diameter of the base of the cookware should as far as possible correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
• Use a well-fitting lid.
• Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.

6 Care and maintenance

Clean the appliance when it has cooled down, as otherwise it could be a burn hazard.

6.1 Cleaning

Always clean the hob after use. This prevents food residues from burning on. Dried-on or burned-on food residue is harder to clean off.

Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings or surface.

Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive cleaning agents, scouring pads, wire wool, etc. which can damage the surface.

▶Use only a soft cloth or sponge with water and a suitable detergent for cleaning everyday soiling. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for use. Using a detergent with a protective additive is recommended.

- Remove stubborn soiling, e.g. boiled-over milk, while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper.

Always follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions for use.

▶ Foods with a high sugar content, e.g. marmalade, that boil over should be removed while still hot using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.

- Remove melted plastic while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.

▶Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale remover (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, descaler). Then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
