2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Installation
WARNING!
Only a qualified person must
install this appliance.
• Remove all the packaging and the
transit bolts.
• Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
• Follow the installation instruction
supplied with the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from the
other appliances and units.
• Always take care when moving the

between the bottom of the appliance
and the upper drawer, is sufficient for
air circulation.
• The bottom of the appliance can get
hot. Make sure to install a noncombustile separation panel under
the appliance to prevent access to the
bottom.
• Make sure that the ventilation space
of 2 mm, between the worktop and
the front of the below unit, is free.
The warranty does not cover damages
caused by the lack of an adequate
ventilation space.
2.2 Electrical Connection
WARNING!
Risk of fire and electrical
shock.
• All electrical connections should be
made by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.

• Make sure that a shock protection is
installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on the
cable.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot
appliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near
sockets
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to
the mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact our Authorised

access to the mains plug after the
installation.
• If the mains socket is loose, do not
connect the mains plug.
• Do not pull the mains cable to
disconnect the appliance. Always pull
the mains plug.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type
fuses removed from the holder), earth

• Each phase has a maximum electricity
loading of 3700 W.
• 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.

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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

ENGLISH 13
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.
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.
Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood
function
To find the full range of cooker hoods
which work with this function refer to our
consumer website. The AEG cooker
hoods that work with this function must
have the symbol .
6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean
bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for
the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
6.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not,
the dirt can cause damage to the hob.
Put the special scraper on the glass
surface at an acute angle and move
the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the hob with a moist cloth and
non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft
cloth.
