Protecting the environment
Cooking with induction
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.
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.
You can check whether the cookware is suitable for
induction cooking. ~ "Suitability test of tableware"
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 the cookware, try
placing the cookware on another hotplate with a smaller
diameter.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
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 read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here ~ "Flex function"
FP
FP

Page 8
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.
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.
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 three-layer
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.

and that the right temperature is maintained:
Your hob has two different temperature measuring
systems:
▯Frying sensor function: Temperature sensors are
located underneath the hob. These monitor the
temperature of the base of the frying pan.
▯Cooking sensor function: A wireless temperature
sensor transmits the temperature of the saucepan
to the control panel. The sensor is attached to the
saucepan.
A wireless temperature sensor is required for the
cooking sensor function. You can purchase this from
specialist retailers or from our technical after-sales
service – you will need to quote the reference number
CA060300.
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section entitled
~ "Preparation and maintenance of the wireless
temperature sensor"
Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can
be used with the cooking sensor function. You can find
information on which types of cookware can be used
with an induction hob in the section on ~ "Cooking

To prevent damage to the hob surround, observe the
following instructions:
▯Only use warm soapy water
▯Wash new dish cloths thoroughly before use.
▯Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
▯Do not use a glass scraper or sharp objects.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Using the appliance
Why can't I switch on the hob and why is the childproof lock symbol lit up?
The childproof lock is activated. Place the twist knob on the twistpad.
You can find information on this function in section ~ "Suitability test of tableware"
Why can I hear an audible signal?
Remove any liquid or food remains from the control panel. Remove any objects from the control panel.
You can find instructions on how to deactivate the audible signal in the section on ~ "Basic settings"
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.
Cookware
Which types of cookware can be used with the induction hob?
You can find information on which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob in section ~ "Cooking with
