YOUR INDUCTION HOB
Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. Cooking
with an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy, because
the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power level.
Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring
dishes to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking
zones makes cooking comfortable.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate
heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans
section gives more information about this.
For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows
which cooking zones are still hot.
The hob has four slider areas to adjust the power level of the cooking
zones. With a special bridge button you can connect (bridge) two
zones behind each other. Both zones will have the same settings after
activating this function.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the
induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also
find background information that can assist you in using this product.
You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in the space
provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance identification card
contains all the information that the service technician will need in order
to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.
Enjoy your cooking!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
What you should pay attention to
• Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have
been incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and a
cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of precautions
you should take.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by the
service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting any
repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the (automatic)
fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch
in the power supply lead to zero.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to be
used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”.
This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will soon
disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating time
will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use. Keep all
natural ventilation openings open.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected against
overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and could be
damaged. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by a
pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space.
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance between the hob
and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as a mixer,
cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
GB 7
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards.
Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately
after cooking.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be
allowed near the device unsupervised.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do not stand too
close to the pan. Should oil catch fire, never try to extinguish the fire
with water. Put a lid on the pan immediately and switch the cooking
zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high flames could
cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. A spice jar
or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch the appliance
off immediately, unplug it to avoid electric shocks, and call the
service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays, biscuit tins,
saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking zone. These can heat up
extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank cards, etc.) away
from the appliance. We advise anyone with a pacemaker to consult
their cardiologist before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking zone
automatically stops. Accustom yourself to stop the cooking zone or
hob manually to avoid unintended switching on of the induction hob.
• Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is switched on.
While the hotplate is protected and will switch itself off, the pan will
be extremely hot. The pan could be damaged.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter of bottom
smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will not be recognised by the
appliance. The display continues to flash and the hob will not switch
on.
GB 8
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service organisation or equivalently
qualified persons, in order to avoid dangerous situations.
Temperature safety
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts
of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that
measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk
of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising
too high, the power is reduced automatically.
Cooking-time limiter
• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking
appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will
be limited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches
1 8,5 hours
2 6,5 hours
3 5 hours
4 4 hours
5 3,5 hours
6 3 hours
7 2,5 hours
8 2 hours
9 1,5 hours
u 2 hours
automatically off after:
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time in
the table has elapsed.
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically to setting 9 after:
boost (P) 10 minutes
GB 9
USE
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to
other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to
achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not
operate the controls with any other objects. The hob will not switch on
when your pet walks over it.
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
• To start you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will boil very rapidly.
It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or
boiling dry.
The power will be adjusted
• In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of the zone on
which the pan stands that is used. If you use a small pan on a large
zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The
No heat loss and cold

power will thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in the
pan comes to the boil.
GB 10
Attention
• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop. Always keep the lid on the pan
when cooking, in order to avoid energy loss.
USE
How does induction work
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the pan
base. This induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.
Easy
The coil (1) in the hob (2)
generates a magnetic field
(3). By placing a pan with
an iron base (4) on the
coil, a current is induced in
the base of the pan.
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest
setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook
ingredients that you would normally heat in a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil
is very quick. Cooking food through takes just as long as for other types
of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any
hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerably
cooler compared to that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a pan
has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Pans
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Attention
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking
with:
▷ a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm)
▷ a flat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
GB 11
USE
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a
magnet. A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the
magnet.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Attention
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you
switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or
to the use of too high a power level.
Attention
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can
interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, so that the
appliance becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking and
the pan base melting. Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans
or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
GB 12
Minimum pan diameter
The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm. For best results, use
cookware with diameter that matches the diameter of the cooking zone,
and place it in the middle of the cooking zone.
Warning: In model SIVK6ETS, always place the cookware in such way
that the indicated center of the cooking zone is covered.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The
cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly
up to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking
process stops immediately.
OPERATION
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The power has 9 settings. There is also a ‘boost’ setting, which is
indicated by a ‘P.’ in the display (see page 14 ‘Boost’).

cookware in such way that the indicated center of the cooking zone
is covered.).
• Touch the On/Off button.
You will hear a short bleep and the display for each cooking zone
will show ‘0.’. If no further action is taken, the hob automatically
switches off after 10 seconds.
• Touch and slide your finger over the multi slider of the desired
cooking zone to choose the correct setting. The hob will
automatically start in the chosen setting (if it detects a pan).
▷ Sliding to the right increases the value and sliding to the left
decreases the value.
▷ A direct selection of a value is also possible. Touch the multi
slider somewhere in the slider area to set a power level.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Tip
Set the child lock before you start cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless
recommend you to clean the hob immediately after use.
• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry teacloth.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent
such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove.
Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar
is also best removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime
scale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

INSTALLATION
What you need to consider
Safety instructions for the installation
• The connection must comply with national and local regulations.
• The appliance must always be earthed.
• This appliance may only be connected by a competent electrical
installer.
• For the connection, use an approved cable (for example type
HO7RR) in accordance with the regulations. The cable casing
should be made of rubber.
• The connection cable must hang freely and is not to be fed through
a drawer.
• If you want to make a fixed connection, make sure that a multi-polar
switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm is fitted in the
supply line.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service organisation or equivalently
qualified persons, in order to avoid dangerous situations.
• The worktop the hob is built into must be flat.
• The walls and the worktop surrounding the appliance must be heat
resistant up to at least 85 °C. Even though the appliance itself does not
get hot, the heat of the hot pan could discolour or deform the wall.
• Damage caused by incorrect connection, installation or use, will not
be covered by the guarantee.
• Connection point, wall mounting socket and/or plug must be
accessible at all times.

If the hob is wider than the cupboard, with a worktop less than 48 mm
thick, saw a cut-out in both sides of the cupboard, so the appliance is
detached from the cupboard.
GB 26
INSTALLATION
Ventilation
The electronics in the appliance need cooling. The appliance
will automatically switch off if there is insufficient air circulation.
There are ventilation openings on the underside of the appliance.
It must be possible for cool air to be drawn in through these
openings. There are outlet openings on the underside and at the
front of the appliance.
Lower kitchen cabinet with a drawer
• An opening at least 140 mm high must be provided on the back wall
of the cabinet, along its entire width. Furthermore, a minimum of 6
mm clearance must be provided at the front side, along the entire
width of the cabinet.
• The hob is fitted with a fan located in its lower part. In case there is
a drawer underneath the kitchen cabinet, no small objects or paper
must be kept there, as these could be sucked in by the fan, causing
damage to the fan or the entire cooling system. Aluminum foil and
inflammable substances or liquids (e.g. sprays) should also not be
stored in such drawers or placed near the hob. Danger of explosion!
There should be a clearance of 20 mm between the drawer contents
and the fan entry slots.
GB 27
INSTALLATION
Lower kitchen cabinet with an oven
• Installing the oven under an induction hob is possible with oven
types EVP4.., EVP2.., which are fitted with a cooling fan.
Before installing the oven, the rear wall of the kitchen cabinet should
be removed. Furthermore, a minimum of 6 mm clearance should be
provided at the front side, along the entire width of the cabinet.

Building in
Check that the cabinet and the cut-out meet the dimension and
ventilation requirement
Treat the sawn ends of wooden or synthetic worktops with sealing
varnish if necessary, to prevent moisture causing the worktop to swell.
Lay the hob upside down on the worktop.
Fit the connecting cable to the appliance in compliance with the
requirements (see page 29 and 30).
Remove the protective layer from the sealing tape and apply the tape in
the groove of the aluminium profile or on the edge of the glass plate. Do
not stick tape round the corners, but cut 4 separate pieces to seal the
corners well.
Turn the hob over and lay it in the recess.
Connect the appliance to the mains. The displays will light up briefly.
The appliance is ready for use.
Check that it works properly. If the appliance has been wrongly
connected nothing will appear in the displays, depending on the error.
