Operating Instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with the accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of the following safety information.

Electrical Safety

•The new appliance may only be installed and connected up by qualified personnel, according to the manufacturers instructions and to the relevant country standards.

Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage that may occur.

•Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by approved service engineers. Improper repairs can cause injury or significant malfunction. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

•If your appliance malfunctions or fractures and cracks or splits appear:

–switch off all cooking zones,

–Disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

Child Safety

The cooking zones will become hot when the hob is in use. Therefore, always keep small children away.

The hob is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to play near or with the hob

Safety During Use

•This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes

•Do not use the hob to heat the room.

•Take care when plugging electrical appliances into mains sockets near the hob. Connecting leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.

Operating Instructions

Special Notes on Induction Cooking Zones

• Scientific studies have shown that patients who are fitted with implanted pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our induction cooking zones.

The distance between the body and the cooking zone should, however, never be less than 30 cm!

• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable transistor radios.

• Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards,

	cassettes) on the glass ceramic surface while one or more induction
	cooking zones are in use!
	• Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the induc-
	tion surface as they can be warmed up when the induction surface is
	in use.
3	Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking
	zones. This is not a fault in the hob and its function will not be

impaired in any way as a result.

Safety When Cleaning

•For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.

•Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

Operating Instructions

How to avoid damaging your appliance

•Do not use the cooking surface as a work surface or for storage.

•Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pans or without pans.

•Glass ceramic is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust, however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on the cooking surface can damage it.

•Do not use pots with damaged bases that are rough and have burrs. Scratching may occur when the pans are slid.

•Do not place any pans on the cooking surface frame. Scratching may occur or the paint damaged.

•Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents are spilt onto the frame of the cooking surface, since these cause matt spots.

•If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off imediately with a scraper while it is still hot. If the mixture cools, damage to the surface may be incurred when it is removed.

•Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the glass ceramic surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt onto the glass ceramic surface, it must also be removed immediately using the scraper.

•If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.

•Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the process and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.

2 Disposal

Disposing of Packaging Materials

•All packaging can be recycled, sheet and hard foam parts are appropriately marked. Please dispose of packaging material and any old appliance with due regard to safety and the environment.

Information on disposal

•The appliance must not be disposed of in the household rubbish.

•You can obtain information about collection dates or public tips from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.

•Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Cut off the mains cable.

Appliance Description

Function and the Way the Induction Cooking Zone Works

A copper wire induction coil is beneath the glass ceramic cooking surface. This generates electromagnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans and not, as with other heating up methods, first heat up the glass ceramic. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, which saves time and energy.

Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan the cooking zone itself hardly warms up. It only receives the reflected heat from the pan base.

Note:

If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone there is no energy transfer (heating up) and therefore gives protection against the cooking zones being switched on accidentally.

3 A cooling fan is an integral part of this hob and comes on automatically depending on the temperature of the induction cooking zone. The cooling fan will continue to run for a short period after the cooking zone has been switched off.

Operating Instructions

The Digital Displays

Digits 1 to 9 and four different letters can appear in the display.

• The digits show the cooking stage set.

1 = Lowest capacity

9 = Highest capacity

• The following letters and functions are displayed for the cooking zones:

1 H = Residual Heat Display

Danger! Cooking zone still hot; it extinguishes when the cooking zone has cooled down. This display appears only if the cooking zone is switched off.

a = Automatic heating-up (possible for all cooking zones) is lit, if the cooking zone is set to automatic heating-up;

(remains lit until the automatic feature switches over to the set continued cooking stage).

- = Lights up when the automatic switch-off function has been activated (also see “What to do if ...?”).

1 f = Error display

flashes if the cooking zone is activated and

– no pan is on the cooking zone or

– unsuitable pots and pans are used

P = Power function

lights up when the Power function is activated.

The Power function supplies extra-high heating capacity. It can be activated for the front two cooking zones.

1 Cooking Zone Safety Switch

If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the cooking stage is not changed, the corresponding cooking zone switches itself off automatically.

j appears in the display of the relevant cooking zone. The cooking zones switch themselves off at:

• Cooking stage	1	-	2	after 6 hours
• Cooking stage	3	-	4	after 5 hours
• Cooking stage	4	-	5	after 4 hours
• Cooking stage	5	-	9	after 1.5 hours

Operating Instructions

Resetting the Safety Cut-Off

0To cancel the active safety switch-off function of the relevant cooking zones, switch off the unit with the “On/Off” sensor field n and then switch it back on again. The cooking zones are then ready for use again.

3	h appears in the display of the cooking zone if there is still residual
	heat.

Suitable Kitchenware for Induction Cooking Zones

Pots and Pans

•In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These are steel, steel-enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans.

•High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Tefal with an aluminium/copper base) are suitable for induction only if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case they have a ferromagnetic percentage in the base.

•If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.

•Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots and pans (unless specifically designated as suitable for induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain are not suitable for induction cooking zones. The cooking zone reacts

as if it were being used without a pot or pan: Error code f.

Look for the label: Suitable for induction!

Suitability Test

If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for cooking or frying on the induction cooking zone you can check this as follows:

•Place a pot filled with a little water (3-5 mm filling height) on the cooking zone.

Switch the cooking zone to full power (switch setting 9).

Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few seconds!

•You can also check this with a magnet. If it remains fixed to the base the pan is suitable for induction cooking zones.

Operating Instructions

Pan Size

Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone adapts itself to the size of the pan base diameter. However, the pan base diameter must be of a minimum size, depending on the size of the cooking zone.

For example: Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm

Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm

Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm

Diameter of the pan base at least 12 cm

Note:

Please note the diameter of the pan base when buying new pans, since the manufacturers usually specify the top edge diameter of their pans.

Automatic Pan Sensing

The induction cooking zone does not function when unsuitable pans are used.

If the cooking zone is switched on without a suitable pan on it f flashes in the digital display of the cooking zone.

After about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches itself off automatically. j appears in the digital display.

Also when overheating occurs (e.g. heating up a pan that is empty) or with faults in the electronics the display j is lit. The cooking zone switches itself off automatically.

To be able to use it again the cooking zone must have been first switched off and then reset to the required heat setting.
