Residual heat indicator

1Warning! 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 .

3Residual 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.

10 Operating the appliance

Using the child safety device

The child safety device prevents unintentional use of the appliance.

Setting the child safety device

Step		Control panel	Display/Signal

	(Do not set a heat setting)
2.	Touch	until the signal sounds	Acoustic signal
3.	Touch

Overriding the child safety device

The child safety device can be released in this way for a single cooking session; it remains activated afterwards.

	Step		Control panel		Display/Signal
	1.	Switch on the appliance
	2.	Touch	and	at the same time	/ acoustic signal

Until the appliance is next switched off, it can be used as normal.

Releasing the child safety device

Operating the appliance

Switching the power function on and off

The power function makes additional power available to the front induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large volume of water to the boil.

The power function is activated for 8 minutes for the front left cooking zone and for 5 minutes for the front right cooking zone. After these times, the induction cooking zones automatically return to cooking level .

	Control panel	Display

Switch off	Touch
	Touch

3If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to the heat setting set previously.

Power Management

The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power available to them. Two cooking zones make up a pair (see figure).

So that the Power function can always be

carried out, Power Management may reduce the power of the other cooking zone

in the pair

Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a cooking zone. The Power function is switched on for the cooking zone paired up with it. The Power function is performed,

but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cooking zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Management reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates between 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the size of the cooking zone.)

12 Operating the appliance

Using the timer

All cooking zones can each use one of the two timer functions at the same time.

Function	Condition	Outcome after the
		time has elapsed
Automatic cut-out	a heat setting is set	acoustic signal
		00 flashes
		Cooking zone switches
		off
Countdown timer	cooking zones not in use	acoustic signal
		00 flashes

3If a cooking zone is switched off, the timer function set is also switched off.

3If a heat setting is set on this cooking zone in addition to a countdown timer, the cooking zone is switched off after the time set has elapsed.

Selecting a cooking zone

	Step	Control panel			Display
	1.	Touch		once	Pilot light of the first cook-
					ing zone flashes
	2.	Touch		once	Pilot light of the second
					cooking zone flashes
	3.	Touch		once	Pilot light of the third
					cooking zone flashes
	4.	Touch		once	Pilot light of the fourth
					cooking zone flashes

3The heat setting indicator of the selected cooking zone goes out, as long as the timer time can be set.

3If the pilot light is flashing more slowly, the heat setting indicator appears again and the heat setting can be re-set or modified.

3If other timer functions are set, after a few seconds the shortest remaining time of all the timer functions is displayed and the corresponding pilot light flashes.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

3Information 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 material

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

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

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …

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

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

3Certain 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.

16 Tips on Cooking and Frying

Bottom of the cookware

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

Pan size

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

Diameter of cooking zone	Minimum diameter of dish base
[mm]	[mm]
210	180
180	145
145	120

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

Tips on energy saving

2Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

2If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.
