information
Important safety information
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote control.
m Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Room air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated
heaters, continuous flow heaters or water
heaters) obtain combustion air from the room
in which they are installed and discharge the
exhaust gases into the open air through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4Pa
(0.04mbar). This can be achieved when the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through
openings that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
m Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if
the appliance is being operated in exhaust air
mode at the same time as room air-dependent
heat-producing appliance is being operated.
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air 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.
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.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.

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
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.
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 ~ "Flex
FP
.
FP
FP
function"
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.
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 ~ "Flex function" on page 20.
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.

Page 10
en Induction 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 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.

Suitable cookware
Select the hotplate with the diameter that most closely
matches that of the base of the cookware and place the
cookware in the centre of this hotplate.
For the cooking functions, use cookware that is tall
enough that, when the required volume of water is
added, the water level is higher than the silicone patch
for the wireless sensor.
There are frying pans that are optimally suited to the
frying sensor function. These can be purchased from
specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales
service or our official website. Always quote the relevant
reference number:
▯GP900001 small pan (15cm diameter)
▯GP900002 medium pan (18cm diameter)
▯GP900003 large pan (21cm diameter)
▯CA051300 Teppanyaki. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only
▯CA052300 griddle plate. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you
can fry food with a small amount of oil.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the saucepan
or frying pan throughout the cooking process. This
ensures that the power is controlled with high precision
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, from our technical after-sales
service or from our official website – 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"
Notes
–The frying sensor function has been configured
specifically for this type and size of pan.
–Using a pan of a different size or one that is poorly
positioned on the flexible cooking zones may result
in the frying sensor function not being activated.
See the section entitled ~ "Flex function"
on page 20
–Other types of pan may overheat and the
temperature may be above or below the selected
heat setting. Try the lowest heat setting to begin
with and change it if necessary.
Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can
be used with the cooking functions. You can find
information on which types of cookware can be used
with an induction hob in the section entitled
~ "Induction cooking" on page 9.

Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor function
You can use the frying sensor function to pan-fry food
with a small amount of oil.
This function is available for all hotplates.
Advantages
▯The hotplate only heats when necessary. This saves
energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
▯An audible signal will sound once the empty frying
pan has reached the optimal temperature for adding
the oil and food.
Notes
–Do not place a lid on the frying pan. Otherwise, the
function will not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent fat from splashing out.
–Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If you are
using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or
lard, use temperature setting 1or 2.
–Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
–If the hotplate is at a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
–For frying with a large amount of oil, always use the
cooking sensor function. For frying with a large
amount of oil in the saucepan, set the temperature
to 170-180° C.

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.
