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 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.
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.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
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".

Page 9
Induction cooking en
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.

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

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

You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
This function maintains the correct temperature in the
frying pan as frying progresses.
Advantages
■ The burner only heats up if this is necessary to retain
the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the
oil or fat from overheating.
■ The frying sensor reports when the empty frying pan
has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil
and then for adding the food.
Notes
■ Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent fat from spitting out of the
pan.
■ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are 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 cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not
activated correctly.
■ When frying with a large amount of oil, always use
the function for deep-fat frying with a large amount of
oil, level 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.

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 change
the boiling point if water is boiling too strongly or not
strongly enough. To do this, proceed as follows:
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
required hotplate and always put the lid on.
3. To use the cooking sensor for cooking, select the
cooking zone on which the cookware is standing.
4. Touch menu and select the å cooking functions
option.
Note: The cooking functions mode is only ready for
use once the connection between the cooking
sensor and the control panel has been established.
See section ~ "‚ Wireless temperature sensor"
5. Touch the å symbol for the wireless cooking
sensor.
6. Select the right temperature setting from the table.
The function has now been activated.
The temperature level and
å display light up. The
temperature display lights up increasingly red until
the water or oil has reached the optimum
temperature for inserting the food. An audible signal
sounds once the temperature has been reached.
7. Once the signal has sounded, take the lid off and
add the food. Keep the lid on during cooking.
Note: Do not cover the pan when using the "Frying
with a large amount of oil in the saucepan" function.
Deactivating cooking functions
1. Select the hotplate.
2. Adjust the temperature setting to 0.
This function has now been deactivated.
■ Select the Set the boiling point basic setting; see
section ~ "Basic settings"
■ The basic setting is set to 200-400 m by default. If
your home is between 200 and 400 metres above
sea level, you do not need to set the boiling point.
Otherwise, select the setting that matches your
home's height above sea level.
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.

‚Wireless temperature
sensor
Wi rel ess t emperat ur e s ensor
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
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.
3. Press down all over the surface of the silicone patch,
including in the centre.
The adhesive requires one hour to fully harden. Do not
use or clean the pan during this time.
Notes
■ Do not leave the pan with the silicone patch to soak
soapy water for long periods of time.
■ If the silicone patch comes off, attach a new one.
37
Page 38
en Wireless temperature sensor
Fitting the wireless temperature sensor
Attach the temperature sensor to the silicone patch and
align it correctly.
Notes
■ Make sure that the silicone patch is completely dry
before attaching the temperature sensor.
■ Position the cookware in such a way that the
temperature sensor is pointing towards the outer
side of the hob.
■ To prevent overheating, the temperature sensor
must not be pointed towards another item of
cookware that is hot.
■ Remove the temperature sensor from the saucepan
after cooking. Store it in a clean, safe place away
from sources of heat.
■ You can use up to three temperature sensors at the
same time.
Connecting the wireless temperature sensor
to the control panel
To connect the wireless temperature sensor to the
control panel, follow the instructions below:
Resetting the wireless temperature sensor
1. Touch the å symbol on the cooking sensor for
approximately 8-10 seconds.
While you are doing this, the temperature sensor's
LED indicator will light up three times. When the LED
lights up for the third time, it will start to reset the
temperature sensor. Stop touching the symbol when
this happens.
Once the LED goes out, this means that the wireless
temperature sensor has been reset.

place it at room temperature in the middle of the
hotplate that most closely matches the diameter of
the pan base.
2. Call up the basic settings and select the Cookware
test option. Follow the instructions on the display
panel.
The function has now been activated.
After 10 seconds, information on the quality and speed
of the cooking process will appear in the hotplate

select the Cookware test option.
Notes
■ The flexible cooking zone only counts as a single
hotplate; place no more than one item of cookware
on it.
■ If the diameter of the hotplate used is much smaller
than the diameter of the cookware, only the middle
of the cookware can be expected to heat up. This
may result in the cooking results not being as good
as expected or being less than satisfactory.
■ You can find information on this function in the
section on ~ "Basic settings".

Cleaning
Always clean the hob after cooking. This will prevent
food deposits from becoming burned on. Only clean the
hob after the residual heat indicator has gone out.
Clean the hob with a damp dish cloth and dry it with a
cloth or towel to prevent limescale build-up.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type
of hob. Observe the manufacturer's instructions on the
product packaging.
Never use:
■ Undiluted washing-up liquid
■ Cleaning agents designed for dishwashers
■ Abrasive cleaners
