•The function divides the power between cooking zones connected to the same phase.

•The function activates when the total electricity loading of the cooking zones connected to a single phase exceeds 3700 W.

•The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones connected to the same phase.

•The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between two levels.

4.13 Hob²Hood

It is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infra — red signal communicator. Speed of the fan is defined automatically on basis of mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.

For most of the hoods the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to hood user manual.

12 www.aeg.com

Operating the function automatically

To operate the function automatically set the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob. The hob recognizes temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.

5.Touch of the Timer to select an automatic mode.

To operate the hood directly on the hood panel deactivate the automatic mode of the function.

When you finish cooking and deactivate the hob, the hood fan may still operate for a certain period of time. After that time the system deactivates the fan automatically and prevents you from accidental activation of the fan for the next 30 seconds.

Operating the fan speed manually

You can also operate the function

manually. To do that touch when the hob is active. This deactivates automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually. When

you press you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level

and press again you will set fan speed to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with fan speed 1 touch

.

To activate automatic operation of the function, deactivate the hob and activate it again.

Activating the light

You can set the hob to activate the light automatically whenever you activate the hob. To do so set the automatic mode to H1 – H6.

The light on the hood deactivates 2 minutes after deactivating the hob.

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Cookware

For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.

Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.

Cookware material

•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark from a manufacturer).

•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:

•some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.

•a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.

Cookware dimensions

Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.

Refer to “Technical information” chapter.

ENGLISH 13

5.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear:

•crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).

•whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).

•humming: you use high power level.

•clicking: electric switching occurs.

•hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer to hob malfunction.

5.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.

5.4 Examples of cooking applications

The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

5.5 Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood function

When you operate the hob with the function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.

•Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.

•Do not cover the hob panel.

• Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (for example with a hand or a cookware handle).

See the picture. Hood in the picture is only exemplary.

It may happen that other remote controlled appliances may block the signal. To avoid it do not operate the remote of the appliance and the hob at the same time.
