Protecting the environment
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
Cooking with induction
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.
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.
To find out whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, check whether a magnet is attracted to the base of the item or refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
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 only hotplate being used is the Flex cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can find further information on positioning the cookware in the section entitled ~ "Flexible cooking zone".
FP
FP
7
en Causes of damage
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:
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
If you do not place any cookware on the cooking zone, or if you use cookware that is an unsuitable size or made of unsuitable material, the illuminated ring around the control knob will turn white. To stop the indicator flashing, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not do this within 9 minutes, the cooking zone 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.

Always remove cookware, saucepan lids or other
metal objects from the hob after cooking. If you accidentally touch one of the control knobs or switch on one of the cooking zones when cleaning the worktop, these kinds of objects will heat up very quickly.
Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
Stir occasionally when heating up purees, creamy
soups and thick sauces.
Use power level 8 or 9 for preheating. When cooking with the lid on, reduce the heat as
soon as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not affected by the steam escaping.
Once cooking is complete, keep the lid on the
cookware until you serve the food.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when
cooking with a pressure cooker.
To preserve the nutrients in food, avoid cooking it
for too long. The short-term timer enables you to set the optimal cooking time.
For a healthier result, make sure that the oil does
not smoke.
To brown food, fry it in small batches. Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. Always use oven gloves.
For recommendations on energy-efficient cooking,

Flexible cooking zone
You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13
cm
Place the cookware on one of the four
positions that can be seen in the illus-
tration.
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent hotplates.
Activating
See the section entitled ~ "Operating the appliance"
As a single hotplate
Using the entire cooking zone by connecting both hotplates.
Connecting the two cooking zones
1 Set down the cookware. Turn one of the control
knobs to position ª. 2 Select the power level with the other control knob. The illuminated rings around the two control knobs will
turn orange. The Flex cooking zone has now been activated.
Diameter greater than 13 cm Place the cookware on one of the three positions that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than one hotplate, place it starting on the upper or lower edge of the flexible cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two inductors and can be used independently of each other. Select the required heat setting for each of the hotplates. Use only one item of cookware on each hotplate.
Changing the heat setting
To alter the heat setting, use the same control knob you used to select the original heat setting.
Adding new cookware

PowerBoost function
The PowerBoost function enables you to heat up large quantities of water more quickly than with power level 9.
This function is available for any of the cooking zones, provided the other cooking zone is not in use. If it is, the illuminated ring will flash three times and three signals will sound. Then power level 9 will be set automatically without activating the function. Turn the control knob to position 0.
Note: The PowerBoost function can also be activated in the flexible area if the cooking zone is being used as a single hotplate.
Activating
Push in the control knob and turn it to position Ž. A signal will sound; the illuminated ring around the control knob will go out and then turn orange.
Frying sensor
This function maintains the appropriate temperature in the frying pan when you are frying food.
Advantages when frying
The hotplate only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
The frying function 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
splash guard to prevent splashes of grease. – Use suitable oil or fat for frying. If butter, margarine,
extra virgin olive oil or lard is used, set heat setting
1 or 2. – Never leave a frying pan, with or without food,
unattended when it is being heated. – If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be
activated correctly.
The function has now been activated.
Deactivating
Turn the control knob to the power level you require. A signal will sound; the illuminated ring around the control knob will go out and then turn orange.
The function has now been deactivated.
Note: In certain circumstances, the PowerBoost function may switch itself off automatically in order to protect the electronic elements inside the hob. In this case, power level 9 will be set automatically, the illuminated ring will flash three times and three signals will sound. Turn the control knob to position 0 or a power level of your choice.
Frying pans for the frying sensor
Frying pans specifically suited to use with the frying sensor are available. This optional accessory can be purchased separately from specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales service. Always quote the relevant reference number.
GP900001 15 cm frying pan. GP900002 19 cm frying pan. GP900003 21 cm frying pan.
These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you require only a small amount of oil to fry food.
Notes
The frying sensor has been configured specifically
for this type of frying pan. – Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying
pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Place
the frying pan in the centre of the hotplate. – The frying sensor may not activate on the Flex
cooking zone if the frying pan does not match the
size of the hotplate or if it is positioned incorrectly.
See the section entitled ~ "Flexible cooking zone" Other types of frying pan may overheat. They may
