The hob

The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.

With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food being cooked; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.

Advantages of the induction hob

• Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are required).
• Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
• Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pot.
• Rapid heat-up.
• The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to the surface.
  – Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts at a low speed when the calories generated by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts its high speed level when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit has cooled down enough.

Sensitive touch

Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key during 1 second, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control lamp, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.

In case of normal use, press only one key at a time.

The slider works like a touch key. Once your finger is placed onto the slider, you can slide to the right hand or to the left hand side, in order to adjust the displayed value. As soon as the expected value has been reached, you can remove your finger from the slider.

To select the power, you can either slide your finger on the slider zone, or directly access a particular level if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

Protection against overheating

If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be possible to cool down the electronics system as required at a high room temperature.

In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically.

Should [ E2 ] be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not sufficient.

The reason may be that there are no openings for cooling purposes in the kitchen units or that there is no insulation. It may be necessary to check the installation of the hob.

Pan quality

Adapted materials : steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel, aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.

Non-adapted materials : aluminium and stainless steel without ferromagnetic bottom, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

The manufacturers specify when their products are compatible induction.

To check if pans are compatible:

- Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [9]. The water will heat up in a few seconds when you are using the right induction pan.

- A magnet will stick on the bottom of an induction pan.

GB 3 / USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise does not mean that there is something wrong with the appliance, nor does it influence its function.

The right wok

The functioning of the induction cooking zone is only then satisfying, if the wok is optimally adjusted to the glass ceramic surface.

The bottom of the wok must be bulged to fit to the cooking surface of the hob and must be suitable for induction wok cooking zones.

Only these wok pans offer an even heat distribution in the pan.

We recommend the use of wok pan delivered with the appliance.

With unsuitable cookware the cooking surface will not work or will only work insufficiently. In the worst case this will endanger you.

• Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you clean it.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be accidentally switched on!

Glass ceramic hob

Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agents, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and stain removers etc.

Cleaning after use

1. Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob.

Weekly clean

1. Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents.

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective film which is resistant to water and dirt. All the dirt will remain on the film and can then easily be removed. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob since this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surface.

Specific soiling

Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-ofpearl-type stains) can best be removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob. Proceed as outlined under Item 2.

First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.

Do not use the cleaning scraper in the bulge as otherwise it will scratch the surface!

Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.

Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of sand are left on the hob.

Changes in the colour of the hob will not affect the function and the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt into the surface.

Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult to remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.

Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unqualified persons are dangerous as they can result in an electric shock or a short circuit. Do not interfere with or try to repair the appliance; this could cause injury to persons and damage to the appliance. Always have such work done by an expert, e.g. a Customer Service technician.

Please note

If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify the problem yourself by consulting these instructions for use.

You may be able to rectify some problems yourself. They are described below.

The fuses blow regularly?

- Contact a technical customer service or an electrician!

You can't switch your induction hob on?

• Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown a fuse?
• Has the hob been connected to the mains?
• Are the sensor keys locked, i.e. is the control key above the stop key illuminated?
• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fluid or a metallic object? Please rectify.
• Are you using unsuitable cookware? See the section on "Cookware for induction hobs".

The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound.

Food which has boiled over, cookware or other items are causing the touch control sensor keys to be consistently operated.

Remedy: clean the surface or remove the item.

To delete the symbol ↗, press a key or On/off.

GB 5 / WHAT TO DO IF TROUBLE OCCURS ?

Error code E2 is indicated?

The electronic unit is too hot. Check the installation of the hob. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation. See the section on "Protection against overheating".

Error code U400 is indicated?

The hob has been incorrectly connected. The controls will switch off after 1 s and a continuous signal will sound. Connect the appliance to the appropriate power supply.

An error code (ERxx or Ex) is indicated?

The appliance has developed a technical defect. Please call Customer service.

The pot sign [U] appears?

A cooking zone has been switched on and the hob is expecting a suitable pot or pan to be placed on the cooking zone (pan recognition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking zone will power be supplied.

The pot sign [U] still appears, even though a pot or pan (wok) was placed on the hob?

The cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking or the pot or pan is too small.

Is the cookware you are using making noises?

This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot are not at risk.

Does the cooling fan still operate after it has been switched off?

This is normal since the electronic unit is being cooled down.

Is the hob making noises (clicking or cracking sounds)?

This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided.

Does the hob have tears or cracks?

There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.

Note

The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob may only be built-in in accordance to the instructions included in this manual. In case of a failure to observe these instructions, KÜPPERSBUSCH shall decline any liability and the approved marks of conformity become invalid!

Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters

• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant ( >75^ ). If the veneers and surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can become deformed.
• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when installing the hob.
• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as minimum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams are maintained.
• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.
• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety distance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface of the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be at least 300 mm.
• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instructions for the cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.

Ventilation

• Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture or built-in units must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induction hob.
• If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically raised or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off device) it is likely that the cooling system does not cool sufficiently. In this case we recommend that the back wall of the bottom kitchen unit in the area of the worktop cut-out be opened and that the front transverse strip of the unit be removed over the entire width of the appliance in order to promote the circulation of air.

• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a baking oven without a cross flow cooling device.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in oven.
• When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since these could become bent on the underside of the hob and prevent the drawer from being opened and closed.
• If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is sufficiently ventilated.
• The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure to heat are directly next to or under the surface.

Sealing of the hob

Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with the hob.

• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into contact with any electrical appliances.
• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (putty).
• The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with silicone sealant! This would make it impossible to remove the hob at a later date without damaging it.

Working surface cut-out

Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.

The area is cut out as illustrated.

The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.

Dimensions of appliance: 520 x 380 mm

Dimensions of hole cut in work surface: 490 x 340 mm

Bracket

GB 6 / ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

• Insert the hob in the hole cut in work surface and align it.
• From the bottom, insert the brackets with screws in the holes provided for fastening the brackets, align the brackets and screw them tight.
• Tighten the screws with a hand screw driver only; do not use a battery-operated screw driver.
• In the case of thin worktops make sure that the brackets are correctly positioned.

Important!

There is a risk of breakage if the hob is canted or subjected to stress during installation!

Electrical connection

• Statutory regulations and the connection specifications issued by the local power supply company must be strictly observed.
• Any superfluous cable must be removed from the installation area beneath the appliance.
• Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the voltage on the rating label.
• The induction hob has been fitted with a connection cable in the factory.
• The appliance is supplied ready to plug in. It should be connected only to a properly protected wall socket.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's service organisation or equivalently qualified persons, in order to avoid dangerous situations.
• The wall-socket can be mounted under the working top below the hob or in a side cupboard in the wall. Do not mount it above the cooking area!

GB 6 / ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• It is also necessary to provide a bipolar cut-off device in your power supply circuit, where the opening of the contacts is more than 3 mm.
• Full protection against accidental contact must be ensured on installation.
• Attention: Incorrect connection may result in the power electronics unit being destroyed.
