Cleaning the accessories

Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.

Cooking with induction

Your hob is equipped with induction hotplates.

Benefits of cooking with induction

When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the base of the pan. The hotplate does not become hot. This provides many benefits for you:

■ Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated

directly. There is no heat loss.

■ Energy-saving.

■ Easier care and cleaning. Spilled food does not burn onto the

hob so quickly.

■ Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. Induction

creates or interrupts the supply of heat immediately after each use. Heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from the hotplate, even if the hotplate is still switched on.

Cookware

Suitable ovenware

Only use ferromagnetic (magnetisable) cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel.

Unsuitable cookware

Do not use any cookware made of normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic material, copper or aluminium.

Checking cookware

Your cookware is suitable if the base of a pot or pan attracts a magnet. Pan manufacturers usually indicate whether cookware is suitable for induction cooking.

Notes concerning the base of cookware

The composition of the base of cookware can affect the cooking result. The material used for the base of cookware should distribute heat evenly. A sandwich base made of stainless steel, for example, is ideal.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. Always use the hotplate which best corresponds to the diameter of the pan.

Normal operating noises from the hob

Induction technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields. These fields create heat directly on the base of the cookware. Depending on how they are manufactured, pots and pans can produce a wide range of noises or vibrations. This is normal.

The noises may become less noticeable or disappear entirely if you reduce the heat setting.

Setting the hob

This section familiarises you with how to make settings on your hob. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.

Setting the hob

Switching the hob on and off

The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off.

To switch on: Touch the The indicator next to the main switch and the hotplate indicators

‹ light up. The hob is ready to use.

To switch off: Touch the All hotplates are switched off. The residual heat indicator remains lit until the hotplates have cooled down sufficiently.

Notes

■ The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates have been

switched off for more than 20 seconds.

■ The selected settings are stored for four seconds after the

hob has been switched off. If you switch it on again during this time, the hob will operate using the previously stored settings.

Setting a hotplate

Set the required heat setting using symbols ò to ê.

Notes

■ If no pan has been placed on the hotplate, the selected

power level flashes. After a certain time has elapsed, the hotplate switches off.

■ If a pan has been placed on the hotplate before switching on

the hob, it will be detected within 20 seconds of pressing the main switch and the hotplate will be selected automatically. Once detected, select the power level within the next 20 seconds or the hotplate will switch off.

If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one will be detected when switching it on.

Chef's recommendations

Recommendations

■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir

occasionally.

■ Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.

■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as

soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.

■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve

the food.

■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the

manufacturer's instructions.

■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be

lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.

■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be

avoided.

■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.

■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is

cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.

■ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in

Combi zone function

Using this function, the two left hotplates of the same size can be linked together. When doing this, the same heat setting is set for both hotplates. This is especially suitable for cooking with oblong cookware.

Notes regarding cookware

To achieve the best results, use suitable, oval cookware in the area of both hotplates. Position the cookware in the middle of the hotplates.

When you are using cookware on just one of the two hotplates, it can be moved to the second hotplate. In this case, the heat setting and the selected settings are transferred.

Advice on using cookware

To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:

Only use one piece of cookware which only covers one hotplate.

Moving the cookware from one hotplate to another:

Activation

The hob must be switched on.

1. Select one of the two hotplates which are included in the

combi zone and set the heat setting.

2. Touch the ú symbol. The Ú indicator lights up.

The function is activated.

will not be activated if there is cookware on each of the two hotplates.

hotplate on which there is no cookware. It will not be activated until the cookware is moved to this hotplate and is detected.
