Residual heat indicator

1 Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .

3 Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

7

Operating the appliance

3 Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

Setting the heat setting

The heat can be set at 15 different levels (including intermediate settings) using the ring switches:

Intermediate settings are available between heat settings 2 to 7. These are designated in the digital display with a decimal point.

	Ring switch	Display
To increase	turn clockwise	to
To decrease	turn anti-clockwise	to
To switch off	set to zero	/

3 Please follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the combination appliance as well.

8

Switching the power function on and off

The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly. The power function is activated for 10 minutes. After that the induction cooking zone automatically switches back to heat setting 9.

	Ring switch	Display
To switch on	1. briefly turn clockwise as far as possible
	2. turn anti-clockwise again to
To switch off	turn anti-clockwise	to	/

Power Management

The cooking zones have a maximum power available to them.

If this power range is exceeded by switching on the power function, Power Management reduces the heat setting of another cooking zone.

The display for this cooking zone alternates for two minutes between the set heat setting and the maximum possible heat setting. Thereafter the actual heat setting is displayed.

Example:

Using the automatic warm-up function

All cooking zones are equipped with an automatic warm-up function. The automatic warm-up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for a certain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting that was originally set.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

3 Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

Cookware made of	suitable
Steel, enamelled steel	yes
Cast iron	yes
Stainless steel	if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass	---
Glass, ceramic, porcelain	---

3 Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Test of suitability

Cookware is suitable for induction, if …

•... a little water is heated on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 within a few seconds.

•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

3 Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.

Pan size

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

3 The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.

Tips on energy saving
