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.
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.

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
Set down the new cookware. Turn the control knob that
was used to select the Flex cooking zone to position 0
and then back to position ª.
The cookware will be detected and the heat setting that
was previously selected will be retained.
Note: If the cookware is moved to the hotplate being
used or lifted up, the hotplate begins an automatic
search and the heat setting selected previously is
retained.
Disconnecting the two cooking zones
Turn the control knob that was used to select the Flex
cooking zone to position 0.
The Flex cooking zone has now been deactivated. One
of the cooking zones continues to work as an

FAQ
Noises
Why can I hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the characteristics of the base of the cookware. These
noises are normal for induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise of the kind 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. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from layers of different material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at the same time.The volume of the noise may vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked
and the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
May occur if 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 automatically switches on 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.
