Safety en

1990, EN 45502-2-1 and EN 45502-2-2, and
that it has been chosen, implanted and pro­grammed in accordance with VDE-AR-E
2750-10. If these conditions are satisfied, and
if, in addition, non-metal cooking utensils and
cookware with non-metal handles are used, it
is safe to use this induction hob as intended.

1.3 Restriction on user group

This appliance may be used by children aged
8 or over and by people who have reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or inad­equate experience and/or knowledge,
provided that they are supervised or have
been instructed on how to use the appliance
safely and have understood the resulting
dangers.
Do not let children play with the appliance.
Children must not perform cleaning or user
maintenance unless they are at least 15 years
old and are being supervised.
Keep children under the age of 8 years away
from the appliance and power cable.

WARNING‒Risk of poisoning!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro­ducing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal­operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and dis­charge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim­ney). With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the chimney or the extrac­tion shaft are sucked back into the living
space.

1.4 Safe use

WARNING‒Risk of suffocation!

Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.

▶ Keep small parts away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with small parts.

Children may put packaging material over
their heads or wrap themselves up in it and
suffocate.
▶ Keep packaging material away from chil-

dren.

▶ Do not let children play with packaging ma-

terial.

▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the

room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appli­ance is being operated.

▶ It is only possible to safely operate the ap-

pliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
fall below 4Pa(0.04mbar). This can be
achieved whenever the air needed for com­bustion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means. An in­coming/exhaust air wall box alone is not
sufficient to ensure compliance with the
limit.

▶ In any case, consult your responsible chim-

ney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.

▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-

pliance is operated exclusively in circulat­ing-air mode.

Environmental protection and saving energy

3  Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat­ible and can be recycled.

▶

Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia­meter as the hotplate.

Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.

Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-

¡

ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more

¡

energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

¡

5

en Suitable cookware

Use a glass lid.

You can see into the pan through a glass lid

¡

without having to lift it.

Use pots and pans with flat bases.

Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

¡

Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.

Large items of cookware containing little food need

¡

more energy to heat up.

Cook with only a little water.

The more water that is contained in the cookware,

¡

the more energy is required to heat it up.

Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suit­able ongoing power level.

If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,

¡

you will waste energy.

Suitable cookware

4  Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must
have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by
a magnet. The base must also match the size of the
cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking
zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next
smallest diameter.

Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro­duced during cooking.

The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-

¡

sumed.

If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.

The odours are distributed around the room less.

¡

Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.

¡

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cook­ing.

The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer

¡

operating noises.

Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.

The effectiveness of the filter is retained.

¡

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

Operating modes

7  Operating modes

Operating modes en

You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or
circulating-air mode.

7.1 Air extraction mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil­ters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

The air must not be discharged into a
flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other
fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the
room).
¡ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed

into a non-functioning smoke or ex­haust gas flue, you must obtain the
consent of the heating engineer re­sponsible.

¡ If the exhaust air is conveyed

through the external wall, a tele­scopic duct should be used.

Before using for the first time

8  Before using for the first time

7.2 Air recirculation

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil­ters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the
room.

To bind odours in air recirculation
mode, you must install an odour filter.
The different options for operating the
appliance in air circulation mode can
be found in our catalogue. Alternatively,
ask your dealer. The required accessor­ies are available from specialist retail­ers, from our after-sales service or from
the online shop.

Note:When cooking intensively and for a long time,
moisture is released into the air in the room. When us­ing the appliance in air recirculation mode, we recom­mend ventilating the kitchen adequately, e.g. by briefly
opening a window to remove excessive moisture.

Observe the following recommendations.

8.1 Initial cleaning

Remove any leftover packaging from the hob surface
and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You can find a
list of recommended detergents on the official website
www.bosch-home.com.

level as soon as you see steam escaping. The
cooking result is not affected by the steam escap­ing.

¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you

serve the dish.

¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-

ufacturer's instructions.

¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients

will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the
optimal cooking time.

¡ Ensure that the oil does not smoke.
¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after

the other.

¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperat-

ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore
use oven gloves.

¡ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient
