m Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
m 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 4Pa (0.04mbar) 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.

Environmental protection
Environmental protection
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
▯Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
▯The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
▯Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯Switch back to a lower heat setting in good time.
This will save energy.
▯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 steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
▯If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam 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.

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.

Induction 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 entitled
~ "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 an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
FP
If the flexible cooking zone is being used as a single
hotplate, larger items of cookware can be used as these
are particularly suited to this area. You can find
information on positioning cookware in the section
entitled ~ "CombiZone function" on page 19.
FP
FP

Page 10
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.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
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 90seconds, 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.
▯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.
