In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
■ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
■ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
■ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually
provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is
usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
■ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
■ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and
preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
fInduction cooking
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■ Saves time when boiling and frying.
■ Saves energy.
■ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
■ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
■ Cookware made from enamelled steel
■ Cookware made from cast iron
■ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~ "Cookware check".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of
the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
FP
FP
FP
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can find information on
positioning cookware in the section on ~ "Flex Zone".

en Induction cooking
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
■ If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass
on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and
switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■ common thin steel
■ glass
■ earthenware
■ copper
■ aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and
pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly
through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a threelayer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.

Suitable cookware
Select the cooking zone with the diameter that most
closely matches that of the base of the cookware and
place the cookware in the centre of this cooking zone.
For the cooking functions, use cookware that is high
enough that the required water volume lies above the
silicone patch for the wireless sensor.
There are frying pans that are perfect for using with the
frying sensor. These can be purchased from specialist
retailers, our technical after-sales service or our official
website. Quote the relevant reference number:
■ HEZ390210 15 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390220 19 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390230 21 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390512 teppan yaki. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
■ HEZ390522 griddle plate. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you
can fry food with a small amount of oil.
Notes
■ The frying sensor has been configured specifically
for this type and size of frying pan.
■ Using a frying pan of a different size or one that is
poorly positioned on the flexible cooking zones may
result in the frying sensor not being activated. See
section ~ "Flex Zone".
■ Other types of frying pan may overheat and reach a
temperature above or below the selected heat
setting. Try the lowest temperature setting to begin
with and change it if required.
Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can
be used with the cooking functions. You can find
information on which types of cookware can be used
with an induction hob in section ~ "Induction cooking".
The cooking assistance functions table lists which
cookware is suitable for which functions.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the pot
throughout the entire cooking process. This ensures
that the cooking power is controlled with high precision
to maintain the correct temperature and achieve
optimum cooking results.
Your hob has two different temperature-measuring
systems for achieving the best results:
■ Temperature sensors that are located inside the hob
and monitor the temperature of the base of the
cookware. Suitable for the frying sensor.
■ A wireless cooking sensor that transmits information
about the temperature of the cookware to the control
panel. Suitable for the cooking functions.
The cooking sensor is essential for using the cooking
functions.
If your hob does not have a wireless cooking sensor,
this can be purchased from specialist retailers, our
technical after-sales service or our official website by
quoting the reference number HEZ39050.
You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
You can use the frying sensor when pan-frying food with
a small amount of oil.
Hotplates with this function are marked with the frying
sensor symbol.
Benefits
■ The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
■ A signal will sound once the empty frying pan has
reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and
food.
20
Notes
■ Do not put the lid on the pan as this will prevent the
controller from working. You can use a splatter
guard to prevent the oil from spitting.
■ Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1 or 2.
■ Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
■ If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
■ Always use the cooking functions when frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan. "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", heat setting 5.

Cooking functions
You can use these functions to heat, simmer or cook
food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all hotplates.
Benefits
■ The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.
This saves energy and prevents oil or fat from
overheating.
■ The temperature is continuously monitored. This
prevents the food from spilling over. In addition, the
temperature setting does not need to be changed.
■ A signal sounds once the water or oil has reached
the optimum temperature for adding the food. The
table shows if the food needs to be added right at
the start.
Notes
■ Use pots and pans with a thick, flat base. Do not use
pots and pans with a thin or domed base.
■ Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough to
cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
■ Use the frying sensor when frying with a small
amount of oil.
■ Position the cookware in such a way that the
cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer side of
the hob.
■ Do not remove the cooking sensor from the pot
during cooking.
■ Remove the cooking sensor from the pot after
cooking. Be careful as the cooking sensor may be
very hot.
Note: Turn the food so that it does not burn.

Teppan Yaki and Grill for the Flex Zone
The Teppan Yaki and Grill accessories are ideal for the
FlexZone and are perfect for using the frying sensor.
¬Grill
The Grill adapts to the Flex Zone. You can cook large
and small quantities of meat, fish, fresh vegetables and
bread with very little oil, healthily and easily. The
grooved shape ensures that food absorbs less fat. The
ease of operation makes it possible to grill dishes that
look and taste like they have been cooked on a
traditional grill. Add a little oil to the grill or the surface
of the food to facilitate heat transfer.

Wi rel ess temper at ure sensor
You will need to connect the wireless temperature
sensor to the control panel before using the cooking
functions for the first time.
Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor
This section provides information on:
■ Adhering the silicone patch
■ Attaching the wireless cooking sensor
■ Cleaning
■ Changing the battery
The silicone patch and the cooking sensor can be
purchased at a later time from specialist retailers, our
technical after-sales service or our official website. To
do this, quote the relevant reference number:
00577921Set of 5 silicone patches
HEZ39050Cooking sensor and set of 5 silicone patches
Adhering the silicone patch
The silicone patch attaches the temperature sensor to
the cookware.
When a pan is used for the first time with the cooking
functions, the silicone patch must be adhered directly to
the pan. It is important
1. That the adhesive area on the pan is free from
grease. Clean the pan, dry it thoroughly and wipe the
adhesive area with a spirit.
2. Remove the protective film from the silicone patch.
Adhere the silicone patch to the outside of the pan in
the correct place using the enclosed template as a
guide.

Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at
the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter
when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have
switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
