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
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.
fInduction cooking
Induction c ooki ng
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.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~ "Cookware check".
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
FP
FP
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can find information on
positioning cookware in the section on ~ "Flex Zone".

Induction cooking en
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.
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.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■ 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 threelayer 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.
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 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.

Coo k i n g assi st functions
The cooking assistance functions are guaranteed to
make cooking easier and promise outstanding cooking
results. The recommended temperature settings are
suitable for any type of cooking.
They enable you to cook without using excessive heat
and promise the perfect cooking and frying results.
The sensors measure the temperature of the cookware
throughout the cooking process. This allows the heat
setting to be adjusted to maintain the correct
temperature.
Food can be added once the selected temperature has
been reached. The temperature is automatically kept
constant without the temperature setting having to be
changed.
The cooking functions are available to all cooking zones
if a wireless cooking sensor is connected.
In this section, you will find information on:
■ Cooking assistance functions
■ Suitable cookware
■ Sensors and optional accessories
■ Functions and heat settings
■ Recommended dishes

Suitable cookware
Select the cooking zone with the diameter that most
closely matches that of the base of the cookware and
place the cookware in the centre of this cooking zone.
For the cooking functions, use cookware that is high
enough that the required water volume lies above the
silicone patch for the wireless sensor.
There are frying pans that are perfect for using with the
frying sensor. These can be purchased from specialist
retailers, our technical after-sales service or our official
website. Quote the relevant reference number:
■ Z9451X0 15 cm frying pan.
■ Z9452X0 19 cm frying pan.
■ Z9453X0 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 and size of frying pan.
■ Using a frying pan of a different size or one that is
poorly positioned on the flexible cooking zones may
result in the frying sensor not being activated. See
section .
■ Other types of frying pan may overheat and reach a
temperature above or below the selected heat
setting. Try the lowest temperature setting to begin
with and change it if required.
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 section .
The cooking assistance functions table lists which
cookware is suitable for which functions.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the pot
throughout the entire cooking process. This ensures
that the cooking power is controlled with high precision
to maintain the correct temperature and achieve
optimum cooking results.
Your hob has two different temperature-measuring
systems for achieving the best results:
■ Temperature sensors that are located inside the hob
and monitor the temperature of the base of the
cookware. Suitable for the frying sensor.
■ A wireless cooking sensor that transmits information
about the temperature of the cookware to the control
panel. Suitable for the cooking functions.
The cooking sensor is essential for using the cooking
functions.
If your hob does not have a wireless cooking sensor,
this can be purchased from specialist retailers, our
technical after-sales service or our official website by
quoting the reference number Z31PX10X0.
You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
This function maintains the correct temperature in the
frying pan as frying progresses.
Advantages
■ The burner only heats up if this is necessary to retain
the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the
oil or fat from overheating.
■ The frying sensor 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
splatter guard to prevent fat from spitting out of the
pan.
■ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1 or 2.
■ Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
■ If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not
activated correctly.
■ When frying with a large amount of oil, always use
the function for deep-fat frying with a large amount of
oil, level 5.

■ A signal sounds once the water or oil has reached
the optimum temperature for adding the food. The
table shows if the food needs to be added right at
the start.
Notes
■ Use pots and pans with a thick, flat base. Do not use
pots and pans with a thin or domed base.
■ Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough to
cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
■ Use the frying sensor when frying with a small
amount of oil.
■ Position the cookware in such a way that the
cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer side of
the hob.
■ Do not remove the cooking sensor from the pot

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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) en
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.
Cookware
Which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob?
You can find information on which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob in the section on ~ "Induction cooking".
Why is the hotplate not heating up and why is the heat setting flashing?
