Frequently Asked Questions - KIH 6426-4B Kernau

What should I do if the hob does not turn on?

Check that the hob is connected to the mains and the isolating switch is on. Also verify there is no power outage. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

Why are the touch controls unresponsive?

The controls might be locked (indicator 'Lo'). Unlock by touching the keylock control for 2 seconds. Also ensure the control area is clean and dry, and use the ball of your finger.

How do I know if my cookware is suitable for induction?

Perform a magnet test: if a magnet sticks to the base, the pan is suitable. Alternatively, place a small amount of water in the pan and see if it heats up on the hob. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging.

What does the 'H' symbol mean?

'H' indicates the cooking zone is still hot (residual heat). Do not touch the zone until the symbol disappears. This warning is for safety and energy saving.

How do I activate the Boost function?

Select the front left zone, then press the '+' key until the display shows 'P'. Boost lasts 5 minutes and then the zone automatically reverts to level 9.

Can I use any pot on the hob?

No, only cookware with a flat, magnetic base suitable for induction. Avoid pans with jagged edges or curved bases to prevent scratching the glass.

Why does the hob make a humming noise?

This is normal for induction cooking, especially at high heat settings. It is caused by electromagnetic vibrations. The noise may decrease when lowering the heat.

How do I clean burned-on sugar spills?

Switch off the hob and remove the spill immediately using a razor blade scraper held at 30° angle. Clean with a damp cloth and hob cleaner. Allow the surface to cool first.

What is the maximum power output of the hob?

The total installed power is 7200 W. The power management function allows you to limit the maximum power to one of five levels (2.5 kW to 7.2 kW).

How do I set the timer to turn off a cooking zone?

Select the desired zone, touch the timer key, then use '+' or '-' to set minutes (1-99). The zone will automatically switch off when the time expires.

• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.

CHAPTER 6. 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 the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

CHAPTER 7. CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE

NOTE

Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

- You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• If you do not have a magnet:

CHAPTER 16. COOKING GUIDELINES

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you're using Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

Simmering, cooking rice

• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flourthickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended

Searing steak

To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.

For stir-frying

1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

CHAPTER 19. HINTS AND TIPS

Problem Possible	causes What to do
The cooktop cannot Be turned on	No power	Make sure the cooktop is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on.Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you've checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician
The touch controls are unresponsive.	The controls are locked.	Unlock the controls. See section ‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for instructions.
The touch controls are difficult to operate.	There may be a slight film of water over the controls or youmay be using the tip of yourfinger when touching the controls.	Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls
The glass is being scratched.	Rough-edged cookware.Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.	Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See ‘Choosing the right cookware’.See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.	This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently).	This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.
The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting.	This is caused by the technology of induction cooking.	This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting.
Fan noise coming from the induction hob.	A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you’ve turned the induction hob off.	This is normal and needs no action.Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
Pans do not become hot and appears in the display.	The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking.The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centered on it.	Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section ‘Choosing the right cookware’.Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone
