drawers make sure that the space,
between the bottom of the appliance
and the upper drawer, is sufficient for
air circulation.

• The bottom of the appliance can get
hot. Make sure to install a non­combustible separation panel under
the appliance to prevent access to the
bottom.

• Make sure that the ventilation space
of 2 mm, between the worktop and
the front of the below unit, is free. The
warranty does not cover damages
caused by the lack of an adequate
ventilation space.

3.2 Electrical Connection

WARNING!

Risk of fire and electrical
shock.

• All electrical connections should be
made by a qualified electrician.

• The appliance must be earthed.

• Before carrying out any operation
make sure that the appliance is
disconnected from the power supply.

• Make sure that the electrical
information on the rating plate agrees
with the power supply. If not, contact
an electrician.

• Make sure the appliance is installed
correctly. Loose and incorrect
electricity mains cable or plug (if
applicable) can make the terminal
become too hot.

• Use the correct electricity mains
cable.

• Do not let the electricity mains cable
tangle.

• Make sure that a shock protection is
installed.

• Use the strain relief clamp on the
cable.

• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot

ENGLISH 5

appliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near
sockets

• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension cables.

• Make sure not to cause damage to
the mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact our Authorised
Service Centre or an electrician to

5.13 Hob²Hood

It is an advanced automatic function
which connects the hob to a special
hood. Both the hob and the hood have
an infra — red signal communicator.
Speed of the fan is defined automatically
on basis of mode setting and
temperature of the hottest cookware on
the hob. You can also operate the fan
from the hob manually.

For most of the hoods the
remote system is originally
deactivated. Activate it
before you use the function.
For more information refer to
hood user manual.

Operating the function automatically

To operate the function automatically set
the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob
is originally set to H5. The hood reacts
whenever you operate the hob. The hob
recognizes temperature of the cookware
automatically and adjusts the speed of
the fan.

ENGLISH 13

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 FlexiBridge function

The flexible induction cooking area
consists of four sections. The sections
can be combined into two cooking zones
with different size, or into one large
cooking area. You choose the
combination of the sections by choosing
the mode applicable to the size of the
cookware you want to use. There are
three modes: Standard (activated
automatically when you activate the
hob), Big Bridge and Max Bridge.

To set the heat setting use
two left side control bars.

Switching between the modes

To switch between the modes use
sensor field: .

When you switch between
the modes the heat setting is
set back to 0.

Diameter and position of the
cookware

Choose the mode applicable to the size
and the shape of the cookware. The
cookware should cover the selected area
as much as possible. Place the
cookware centrally on the selected area!

Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter smaller than 160 mm centrally
on a single section.

Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter larger then 160 mm centrally
between two sections.

6.5 PowerSlide function

This function allows you to adjust the
temperature by moving the cookware to
a different position on the induction
cooking area.

The function divides the induction
cooking area into three areas with
different heat settings. The hob senses
the position of the cookware and sets the
heat setting corresponding with the
position. You can place the cookware in
the front, middle or rear position. If you
place the cookware in the front you get
the highest heat setting. You can
decrease the heat setting by moving the
cookware in the middle or to the rear
position.

Use only one pot when you
operate the function.

Incorrect cookware position:

General information:

• 160 mm is the minimum bottom
diameter of the cookware for this
function.

7. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 Cookware

For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.

Use the induction cooking
zones with correct
cookware.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom
made of multi-layer (with correct mark
from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if:

• some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.

The printing on the flexible
induction cooking area may
become dirty or change
colour from sliding the
cookware. You can clean the
area in a standard way.

The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.

Cookware dimensions

Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically to some limit.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a smaller diameter than
the minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.

Refer to “Technical
information” chapter.

7.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).

• whistle sound: you use the cooking
zone with high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

ENGLISH 17

The noises are normal and do not
refer to hob malfunction.

7.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the
cooking operation.

7.4 Examples of cooking applications

The relation between the heat setting
and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase
the heat setting, it is not proportional to
the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power. It means that the
cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for
guidance only.
