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.

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.

5. HINTS AND TIPS

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.

Refer to “Technical information” chapter.

5.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear:

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

•whistle sound: you 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.

5.5 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.
