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.
fInduction cooking
Induction cooking
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".
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.
7
en Induction 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:
■ 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.
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.
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.

cFrying Sensor
Fr y i ng Sen so r
This function can be used to fry food while maintaining
the suitable frying pan temperature.
The cooking zones that have this function are identified
by the roasting function symbol.
Advantages when frying
■ The hotplate only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
■ The frying function 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
splash guard to prevent splashes of grease.
■ Use suitable oil or fat for frying. If butter, margarine,
extra virgin olive oil or lard is used, set heat setting
1 or 2.
■ Never leave a frying pan, with or without food,
unattended when it is being heated.
■ If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be
activated correctly.
For frying with the frying sensor
The settings have been transferred to the new hotplate.
Notes
■ Move the cookware to a hotplate which is not
switched on, which you have not yet preset or on
which no other cookware has been placed.
■ The PowerBoost or ShortBoost function can then
only be moved from left to right or right to left if no
hotplate is active.
■ If a new item of cookware is set down on another
hotplate before the settings have been confirmed,
this function is ready for both cooking vessels.
■ If several vessels are moved, the function is only
ready for the vessel which was last moved.
Frying pans that are perfect for using with the frying
sensor can be purchased from specialist retailers or
through our technical after-sales service. Quote the
relevant reference number:
■ HZ390210 15 cm frying pan.
■ HZ390220 19 cm frying pan.
■ HZ390230 21 cm frying pan.
■ HZ390250 28 cm frying pan. Only recommended
for the FlexPlus cooking zone.
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 of frying pan.
■ Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying
pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Put the
frying pan in the centre of the hotplate.
■ 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
the section on ~ "Flex Zone".
■ Other frying pans may overheat. They may reach a
temperature above or below the selected
temperature setting. Try the lowest temperature
setting to begin with and change it if necessary.

■ Security certificate of the WiFi communication
module (to ensure a secure IT connection).
■ The current software and hardware version of your
domestic appliance.
■ Status of any previous resetting to factory settings.
Confirming settings

confirm that you want to use these settings, touch the
indicator for the required hotplate. To reject these
settings, touch any other button on the hob.
Software update
Using the software update function, your hob's software
can be updated (e.g. for the purpose of optimisation,
troubleshooting or security updates). To do this, you
need to be a registered Home Connect user, have
installed the app on your mobile device and be
connected to the Home Connect server.
As soon as a software update is available, you will be
informed by the Home Connect app, from which you will
also be able to download the update.
This initial registration prepares the Home Connect
functions for use and is only required when you want to
use these Home Connect functions for the first time.
Note: Ensure that the Home Connect functions can be
used only in conjunction with the Home Connect app.
Information on data protection can be accessed in the
