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
