• Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element
and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
• Do not touch the appliance surface.
• Do not use the appliance.
The cooking zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and
immediately after cooking.
Induction use
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and
lids on the surface of the cooking hob; they may become hot.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process
will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
• When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking, and never place products
packaged in aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt
and irreparably damage your device.
Safe use
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the
appliance.

Safety
• Remember that if the hob is used in a high setting, the heating time will be very short. Do not
leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone in a high setting.
Temperature safety induction zones
• The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking.
The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
• The induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking
zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
If a cooking zone is switched on for an unusually long time, it will be switched off automatically.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
Setting
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time in the table has elapsed.
Setting
Cooking zone related timers take priority over the cooking-time limiter.
The cooking zone switches off automatically
after:
6 hours1 and 2
5 hours3 and 4

Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very
rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling
over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and
the handles stay cool.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a
large zone, the zone will adjust the power to the pan's diameter. The power will thus be lower, and
it will take longer before the food comes to a boil.
NOTE!
• Grains of sand may cause scratches that you cannot remove.
Therefore, 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.
Operation of the touch-sensitive keys and slider
• 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.
• The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with
any other objects.
• The cooking hob is operated by a slider. You can either touch the selected part of the slider or
move over the slider to increase or decrease the power.
• To set the cooking zone power, touch the desired spot on the slider. As you touch the slider, the
selected power level will appear on the cooking zone display unit.
• The selected part of the slider is fully lit.
• Do not use objects to operate the slider.
How induction works
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.
13
Page 14
Use
Easy
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 au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob high power levels, bringing food to a boil is very quick.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves,
food spills are unlikely to burn into the glass.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This means
that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
Depending on the hob model, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several cooking zones
are switched on simultaneously, the available capacity is shared automatically between them.
When the maximum capacity of the combination of cooking levels is reached during setting, one or
more zones are automatically reduced to the highest possible setting at that moment. This is indicated
by the flashing of the relevant control element.

Use
Noises during induction cooking
• Ticking sound
This sound can be caused at lower power level settings or by the automatic pot detection.
• Pan makes sounds
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob
to the pan. At high settings, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the
pans or the hob.
• Ventilator makes sounds
To increase the lifespan and performance of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with
fans. During intense appliance use, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance, and you will
hear a buzzing sound. The fan still runs for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.
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 of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
• a flat base.
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 sufficiently attracted by the magnet.

Use
WARNING!
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 - for example: Due to overheating;
• heat enamelled pans slowly.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation
of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the
glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling
dry is excluded from the guarantee.

NOTE!
You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone. If a pan is
too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the
pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops
cooking immediately.
Automatic pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking zone
display lights up.
A power level can be set.
• If there is no (suitable) pan on a cooking zone, the pan detection symbol shows when you set
a power level. The symbol disappears when a suitable pan is put on the cooking zone.
• If you remove a pan from the cooking zone during cooking, the pan detection symbol shows.
The cooking zone switches off. The symbol disappears when you put the pan back. The cooking
zone switches on again with the power level set before.

99 minutes.
- Touch the timer key to stop the alarm.
Bridge Induction cooking zones
• Two Bridge Induction cooking zones can be connected to each other. This creates one large
zone that can be used, for example, with a grill plate or a fish pan on the same power level. The
pan must be large enough to cover the centres of the front and rear cooking zone (at least 22
cm).
Automatic pan detection
This induction hob is equipped with automatic pan recognition. When a pan is placed on a cooking
zone, the corresponding control automatically lights up and the zone is put in standby mode.
When the pan detection symbol appears in the display:
• you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone;
• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking;
• the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.
- The cooking zone will not work unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.
Power setting
The cooking zones have 9 settings and a boost position (b). After switching on the hob, you can
select the desired cooking zone within 5 seconds. Adjust the power by touching the slider. The first
touch sets the level to the part of the slider you touch. The power level setting changes when you
move your finger over the slider.
The level increases as you slide to the right. The level decreases as you slide to the left. When you
remove your finger from the slider, the cooking zone starts working at the set level.
Boost level
You can use the ‘boost’ function for cooking at the highest power level during a short time (max.
5 minutes). After the maximum boost time has passed, the power will be reduced to setting 9.
18

Use
Keep-warm function
Use this function to keep food warm directly after cooking (at approximately 70 °C).
• This will avoid liquids overflowing and burning on the bottom of the pan.
• This function can be started independently on all cooking zones.
• When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, the “Keep warm” function remains active for
approximately 10 minutes. The maximum duration of “keeping warm” is 2 hours.
Automatic heat-up function
This function heats the cooking zone at level 9 in order to bring it rapidly up to the required
temperature. After a given time interval, the power level returns to the established setting. This
function is available for power level 1 to 8.

Automatic bring to boil function
This function automatically brings water to a boil. Once the boiling point is reached, as standard the
selected zone switches to power level 5 to save energy. You can change this setting on the slide
control at any time while using this function.
Attention
• Use a pan with fresh water colder than 40 °C.
• No ingredients such as salt or food should be present in the pan during boiling.
• The water level in the pan must be between 3 cm and 6 cm.
• The pre-boil process can be done with or without a lid.
• Topping up with water during the ‘Boil’ automatic cooking function reduces accuracy.

Maintenance
Cleaning glass top
After each use, wait for the glass ceramic surface to cool down and clean it. Otherwise, all remaining
impurities will burn onto the hot surface the next time you use the hob.
For regular maintenance of the glass ceramic hob, use special care products that create a protective
film on the surface to prevent the dirt from sticking onto it.
Before each use of the glass ceramic surface, wipe off the dust or any other impurities that could
scratch the surface, from both the hob and the pan bottom.
INFORMATION!
Steel wool, coarse cleaning sponges, and abrasive powders may scratch the surface. The
surface may also be damaged by aggressive spray cleaners and unsuitable liquid cleaners.
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive cleaners or cookware with coarse or
damaged bottom.
Use a damp soft cloth to remove minor impurities. Then, wipe the surface dry.
Remove water stains with a mild solution of vinegar. However, do not use this solution to wipe the
frame (only with some models) as it may lose its sheen. Do not use aggressive spray cleaners or
descaling agents.
Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn dirt. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Be
sure to thoroughly remove any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the
glass ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up.
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent
injury.
Immediately remove any sugar or sugar-laden food from the glass ceramic hob using a scraper,
even if the hob is still hot, as sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface.
INFORMATION!
The scraper is not included in appliance equipment.
INFORMATION!
Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet cloth
or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces.
Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°). Gently press the
scraper against the glass and slide it over the signage to remove
the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of the scraper (in some models)
does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone.

Maintenance
TIP!
Activate the child lock before cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you clean the hob
immediately after use.
• For daily cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent is best.
• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent, washing-up liquid, for example.
• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.
• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special products are
available for this.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar are also best removed with
a glass scraper.
NOTE!
• Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and limescale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
TIP!
Consult the website for additional maintenance and cleaning instructions!

Installation
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
Safety
If the safety instructions and warnings are not followed, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for any resulting damage.
• This appliance should only be connected by a registered installer.
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not connect a damaged appliance.
• The walls and the worktop surrounding the appliance must be heat resistant up to at least 105 °C.
• The worktop into which the hob is fitted should be flat.
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
Electrical connection
• This appliance must be earthed.
• The electrical connection must comply with national and local regulations.
• Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (voltage and frequency) and the
adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
• The voltage, frequency, power and the country for which the appliance has been designed are
shown on the appliance rating plate.
• For class I appliances, check that your home’s electrical system provides proper earthing.
• The wall plug socket and plug should always be accessible.
• If a stationary appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for
disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the means for disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. This is also applicable for
appliances with a supply cord and plug when the plug is not accessible after installing the
appliance. Using an omnipolar switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm fitted in the
fixed wiring will fulfil this requirement.
• The supply cord must hang freely and should not be fed through a drawer.
• For connecting, use an approved cable with the correct cable diameters appropriate for the
connection. The cable casing should be made of rubber (preferably of the H05V2V2 or H07V2V2
type).
• Before connecting the appliance, make sure the voltage indicated on the rating plate conforms
to the voltage in your power mains.
• The connection should be adjusted to the current and fuses.
