YOUR GAS-INDUCTION HOB
Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob
consists of a gas wok burner and four induction cooking zones.
Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy,
because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power
level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it
can bring things to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the
cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate
heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans
section gives more information about this.
You can prepare wok dishes much more effectively with the high-power
wok burner (gas). Thanks to the spark ignition integrated into the knob,
you can ignite and operate the wok burner with one hand.
For optimum safety the wok burner is fitted with a thermo-electric
flame protection. The induction part of the hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows
which cooking zones are still hot.
EN 4
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the
induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also
find background information that can assist you in using this product.
You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
YOUR GAS-INDUCTION HOB
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in the
space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance identification
card contains all the information that the service technician will need in
order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.
Enjoy your cooking!
Attention
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are
no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.

SAFETY
Temperature safety
Cooking-time limiter
Before use, read the separate safety
instructions first!
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts
of the hob. Every induction zone is equipped with a sensor that
measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any
risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures
rising too high, the power is reduced automatically or the hob
switches off automatically.
• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking
appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be
limited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically off after:
1 and 2 9 hours
3, 4 and 5 5 hours
6, 7 and 8 4 hours
9 3 hours
10 2 hours
11 and 12 1 hour
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time
in the table has elapsed.
EN 8
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically to setting 12 after:
boost 10 minutes
USE INDUCTION
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to
other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to
achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not
operate the controls with any other objects. The hob will not switch on
when your pet walks over it.
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
• To start you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will boil very rapidly.
It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or
boiling dry.
The power will be adjusted
• In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of the zone on
which the pan stands that is used. If you use a small pan on a large
zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The
No heat loss and cold
handles with induction
cooking.
power will thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in
the pan comes to the boil.
Attention
• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
EN 9
USE INDUCTION
How does induction work
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the
pan base. This induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.
Easy
The coil (1) in the hob (2)
generates a magnetic field
(3). By placing a pan with
an iron base (4) on the coil,
a current is induced in the
base of the pan.
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest
setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook
ingredients that you would normally heat in a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the
boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other
types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any
hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable
cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a
pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Induction noises
EN 10
A ticking sound
This is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones.
Ticking can also occur at lower settings.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the
energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high settings this is
perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or
the hob.
USE INDUCTION
Pans
The fan is making noise
To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equiped with
a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down
the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for
several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Automatic power-on function
When the automatic power-on function (APD) is active, you will hear a
ticking noise, even if the zone is not being used.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Attention
• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no
longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking
with:
▷ a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
▷ a flat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet.
A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
One is advised to use the pans recommended by Asko for the
automatic cooking programs.
EN 11
USE INDUCTION
Attention
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if
you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or
to the use of too high a power level.
Attention
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can
interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, so that the
appliance becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking
and the pan base melting. Damage arising from the use of unsuitable
pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pan diameter
The maximum pan diameter is 18 cm. The diameter of the bottom of
the pan must be at least 12 cm. If a pan is too small the zone will not
work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers.
The cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is
quickly up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the
cooking process stops immediately.
EN 12
OPERATION INDUCTION
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The cooking zones have 12 levels. Beside it there is a level ‘boost’.
1. Place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone.
2. Press the child lock button.
You will hear a single beep.
3. Press the on/off button of the cooking zone concerned.
A flashing ‘-’ appears in the display and you will hear a single beep.
If no further action is taken, the cooking zone will automatically
switch off after a few seconds.
4. Press the + or - button, or the << or >> button to select the desired
setting. The cooking zone starts automatically in the level that has
been set (when a pan is detected).
▷ If you press the + or - button first, level 6 appears.
▷ If you press the >> button first, level 12 + ‘boost’ appear in the
display. This is power level ‘boost’ and you can use this setting
if you want to bring dishes to the boil quickly (see page 14).
▷ If you press the << button first, level 1 will appear.
Tips
• With the + or - button you can raise or reduce the power setting
step by step. By pressing the << or >> button, you can raise or
reduce the power setting quick.
• Press and hold the << , - , + or >> button to set the desired power
level more quickly.
Pandetection
If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the cooking power
has been set, the display will blink and the hob will remain cold. If a
(ferrous) pan is not placed on the cooking zone within 1 minute, the
cooking zone will automatically switch off.
Residual warmth indicator
A cooking zone that has been used intensively will retain heat for
several minutes after it has been switched off. An ‘H’ appears in the
display as long as the cooking zone is hot.
EN 13
OPERATION INDUCTION
Boost
You can use the ‘boost’ function to cook at the highest power level
during a short period of time (max.10 minutes). After the maximum
boost time the power will be reduced to setting 12.
Switching on ‘boost’
1. Put a pan on a cooking zone.
2. Press the >> button immediately after you have switched on the
zone.
Level 12 and ‘boost’ appear in the display.
• If a cooking zone has already been set to a power level and you
want to use ‘boost’, press several times the >> button or the
+ button of the cooking zone concerned.

Or:
2. Press the on/off button of the cooking zone you want to switch off.
You will hear a beep and the level in the display disappears.
The cooking zone has been switched off completely.
Two cooking zones one in front of the other
• Two cooking zones one in front of the other affect each other.
When both of these cooking zones are switched on at the same
time, the power is automatically shared between them. The first
set cooking zone will remain at the set setting at all times. The
maximum set setting for the cooking zones to the front or back
that is added later, depends on the setting of the first cooking
zone. When you have reached the maximum amount of cooking
setting combinations, the last set setting will start to flash and is
automatically lowered to the highest possible setting.
• Two cooking zones alongside each other have no effect on each
other. You can set both cooking zones on a high setting.
• If the vario zones are bridged, they cannot be set to boost and
the menu functions cannot be used.
EN 14
OPERATION INDUCTION
How to bridge the Vario induction zones
The Vario induction zones can be bridged (linked) to each other.
This creates 1 large zone that can be used for example for a large fish
pan or one large cooking pan.
• If the vario zones are bridged, they cannot be set to boost and the
menu functions cannot be used.
Use a (fish) pan where at least one of the centre/middle positions of the
vario zones is covered.

MAINTENANCE INDUCTION
Cleaning
Tip
Set the child lock before you start cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless
recommend you to clean the hob immediately after use.
• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry tea cloth.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent
such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove.
Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar
is also best removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime
scale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

MAINTENANCE GAS
Cleaning
Regular maintenance after use prevents spilt food from setting too long
and creating stubborn stains. Use a mild detergent for this. First clean
the control knob, burner and pan support and only then the drip tray or
glass cover. This prevents the drip tray or glass cover to becoming dirty
again after cleaning.
Please note!
Do not clean burner parts in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent can
corrode burner parts!
Persistent stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps)
Persistent stains can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic
scouring sponge. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp
objects or aggressive cleaning products.
Persistent stains on the glass cover
Clean the glass cover with a special cleaning product for ceramic hobs.
Water stains or limescale are best cleaned using cleaning vinegar.
Brass wok burner parts
Some wok burner parts are made from brass. It is normal for the brass
colour to change as a result of the high temperatures involved in wok use.
Please note!
Consult the www.asko.com website for additional maintenance
and cleaning instructions!
