INDUCTION HEATING

• The Principle of Induction Heating: When you place your

cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic
circuits in your induction hob produce “induced currents” in
the bottom of the cookware which instantly raise cookware’s
temperature.

Induced currents

Induction coil

• Greater speed in cooking and frying: As the pan is heated

directly and not the glass, the eciency is greater than in other
systems because no heat is lost. Most of the energy absorbed
is transformed into heat.

Electronic circuits

Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself o

All cooking zones will switch themselves o if liquid boils over and
lands on the control panel.
The automatic shuto will also be activated if you place a
damp cloth on the control panel. In both of these instances,
the appliance will need to be switched on again using the main
On/O control sensor after the liquid or the cloth has been
removed.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned o, the
presence of residual heat is shown with an , (for “hot”) in the
digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even after the
cooking zone has been switched o, the residual heat indicator
goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.

As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a

WARNING

risk of burns.

If the power supply is interrupted, the , symbol will go out

WARNING

and information about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be
avoided by always taking care when near the hob.

PARTS AND FEATURES

TEMPERATURE DETECTION

If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones
were to exceed the safety levels, should this happen then the
cooking zone will automatically reduce to a lower power level.
When you have finished using the hob, the cooling fan will
continue to run until the hob’s electronics has cooled down. And
the cooling fan switched itself o depending upon the temperature
of the electronics.

USING SUITABLE COOKWARE

Better pans produce better results.

• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should

be as thick and flat as possible.

•

When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter
of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the
upper rim.

• Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges

or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pans are slid
across the surface.

• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards

(concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).

• If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure

cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Energy saving tips

You can save valuable energy by observing the following
points.

• Always position pots and pans

before switching on the cooking
zone.

• Dirty cooking zones and

pan bases increase power
consumption.

• When possible, position the lids

firmly on the pots and pans to
cover completely.

• Switch the cooking zones o

before the end of the cooking
time to use the residual heat
for keeping foods warm or for
thawing.

HOB

Cleaning agents must not come into contact with a heated

WARNING

ceramic glass surface: All cleaning agents must be removed
with adequate amounts of clean water after cleaning because
they can have a caustic eect when the surface becomes
hot. Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven
sprays, scouring pads or abrasive pan cleaners.

Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is still
warm to the touch. This will prevent spillage from becoming
burnt onto the surface. Remove scales, watermarks, fat
drippings and metallic discolouration with the use of a
commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.

Light Soiling

1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.

2. Rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaning agent must

not be left on the surface.

3.

Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once
a week with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless
steel cleaner.

4. Wipe the ceramic glass surface using adequate amounts of

clean water and rub dry with a clean lint - free cloth.

Stubborn Soiling

1. To remove food that has boiled over and stubborn splashes,

use a glass scraper.

2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the ceramic glass

surface.

3. Remove soiling by scraping with the blade.

Glass scrapers and ceramic glass
cleaners are available from specialty
retailers.

Problem Dirt

1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other

materials with a glass scraper immediately and while still hot.

There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is

WARNING

used on a hot cooking zone:

2. Clean the hob as normal when it has cooled down.

If the cooking zone on which something has melted has been
allowed to cool, warm it up again for cleaning.

Scratches or dark blemishes on the
ceramic glass surface, caused, for
example, by a pan with sharp edges,
cannot be removed. However, they do not
impair the function of the hob.

WARNING

frame; otherwise dull blemishes will appear.

1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.

2. Moisten dried debris with a wet cloth. Wipe and rub dry.

TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.

• Do not operate a cooking zone if there is no pan on the hob or

if the pan is empty.

• Ceramic glass is very tough and resistant to temperature shock,

but it is not unbreakable. It can be damaged by a particularly
sharp or hard object dropping onto the hob.

• Do not place pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage

to the finish may occur.

• Avoid spilling acidic liquids, for example, vinegar, lemon juice

and descaling agents, onto the hob frame, since such liquids
can cause dull spots.

• If sugar or a preparation containing sugar comes into contact

with a hot cooking zone and melts, it should be cleaned o
immediately with a kitchen scraper while it is still hot. If allowed
to cool, it may damage the surface when removed.

• Keep all items and materials that could melt, for example,

plastics, aluminium foil and oven foils, away from the ceramic
glass surface. If something of this nature melts onto the hob, it
must be removed immediately with a scraper.
