en Important safety information
(Important safety
information
Impor t ant saf et y i nf or mati on
:Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
:Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Always ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the room if the appliance is being operated in air extraction mode at the same time as a non-room-sealed heating appliance is being operated.
Non-room-sealed heating appliances (e.g. gas-, oil-, wood- or coal-burning heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) draw in combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases outdoors 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 backed into the living space.
There must therefore always be an
adequate supply of air.
A supply-air/air-extraction duct alone is not
sufficient to ensure compliance with the
limit. It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric pressure. This can be achieved if the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example through doors, windows, by means of a supply-air/air-extraction duct or by other technical means.
The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft that is used to ventilate rooms in which heating appliances are installed. If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non­functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
Always consult the heating engineer responsible. They will be able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and suggest the most appropriate ventilation measures. Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is operated exclusively in air recirculation mode.
:Warning – Risk of fire!
Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
Risk of fire!
The hotplates become very hot. Never
place combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.
Risk of fire!
The appliance gets hot. Do not keep
combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.
Risk of fire!
The hob switches off automatically and can
no longer be operated. It may switch on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of fire!
Fatty deposits in the grease filter may catch
fire. Regularly clean the grease filter. Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.
Risk of fire!
When the ventilation system is switched on,
fatty deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coal-burning) unless a sealed, non-removable cover is fitted. There must be no flying sparks.

7Environmental protection
Envi r onmental pr ot ect i on
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy saving tips
Always use a matching lid for every item of
cookware. Cooking without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use a glass lid. Then you can see into the pan without raising the lid.
Use cookware with a flat base. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
Make sure that the diameter of the cookware base
corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
For small quantities, use small items of cookware.
Using cookware that is large but barely filled requires a lot of energy.
Cook with as little water as possible. This saves
energy and preserves the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This
prevents energy from being wasted.
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the ventilation system to work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of cooking
vapour produced during cooking.Only use the intensive setting if needed. A lower fan speed consumes less energy.
If cooking produces large amounts of vapour, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking vapour has already spread around the kitchen, the ventilation system will need to be operated for longer.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

fInduction cooking
I nduct i on cooki ng
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.
Induction cooking en
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.

en Induction cooking
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.

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 section ~ "Environmental protection"

2. Within the next 10 seconds, select the required
temperature setting from the settings range.
The function has now been activated. The é temperature symbol flashes until the frying temperature is reached. A signal sounds and the temperature symbol goes out.
3. Once the frying temperature has been reached, add
the fat and then the food to the pan.
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.
Switching off the frying sensor
Select the hotplate and set it to . in the settings range. The hotplate switches itself off and the residual heat indicator appears.

Temperature ranges and settings
Cooking functions Temperature setting Temperature range Suitable for
Heating, keeping warm 1/70 ºC 60 - 70 ºC E.g. soups, punch
Poaching 2/90 ºC 80 - 90 ºC E.g. rice, milk
Cooking 3/100 ºC 90 - 100 ºC E.g. pasta, vegetables
Cooking in a pressure cooker 4/120 ºC 110 - 120 ºC E.g. chicken, stew.
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan 5/170 ºC 170 - 180 ºC E.g. doughnuts, meatballs
Tips for cooking with the cooking functions
Heating/keep-warm function: Frozen products in
portions, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in the cookware. Pour in the volume of water specified by the manufacturer. Cover the cookware and select the setting 1/70 °C. Stir occasionally.
Poaching function: This function is suitable for
cooking food at low temperatures and for thickening sauces and stews. Select setting 2/90 °C.
Boiling function: This function allows you to boil
water with a lid without it boiling over. You can boil efficiently thanks to the temperature control. Select setting 3/100 °C.
Cooking in a pressure cooker function: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. Continue cooking for the recommended time once the signal has sounded. Select setting 4/120 °C.
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan
function: To heat the oil with the lid on. Remove the lid after the signal tone and add the food (insofar as there are no other instructions in the "Recommended dishes" table). Select setting 5/170 °C.
Notes
Always cook with the lid on. Exception: "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", temperature setting 5/170 °C.
If an audible signal does not sound, make sure that
the lid is on the pan.
Never leave oil unattended during heating. Use oil or
fat that is suitable for frying. Do not mix different cooking fats together, e.g. oil and lard. Mixtures of different fats may froth up when hot.
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when cooking potatoes, next time use less water but keep the recommended temperature setting.
Setting the boiling point
The point at which water starts to boil depends on the height of your home above sea level. You can set the boiling point if water is boiling too strongly or not strongly enough. To do this, proceed as follows:
Select the basic setting ™…; see the section on
~ "Basic settings"
The basic setting is 3 as standard. If your home is
between 200 and 400 metres above sea level, there is no need to set the boiling point. If not, choose the correct setting from the following table according to your altitude:
Height
0 - 100 m.
100 - 200 m.
200 - 400 m.
400 - 600 m.
600 - 800 m.
800 - 1000 m.
1000 - 1200 m.
1200 - 1400 m.
Above 1400 m.
Setting ™…
‚ ƒ „* … † ‡ ˆ ‰ Š
* Basic setting
Note: Temperature setting 3/100 ºC is sufficient for
efficient boiling, even if the water does not boil very strongly. However, the boiling point can be changed. For example, you can set a lower altitude if you want the water to boil more strongly.
28
Setting procedure
You will need to connect the wireless cooking sensor to the control panel before using the cooking functions for the first time. Refer to the section entitled ~ " Wireless temperature sensor" to find out how to do this
1. Attach the temperature sensor to the saucepan; see
the section on ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless temperature sensor"
2. Place a saucepan filled with sufficient liquid on the

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:
00577921 Set of 5 silicone patches
HEZ39050 Cooking 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
