en Important safety information
(Important safety
information
Impor t ant saf ety informat i on
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote
control.
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
■ Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
■ An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the
partial vacuum in the place where the heatproducing appliance is installed does not
exceed 4Pa (0.04mbar). This can be
achieved when the air needed for combustion
is able to enter through openings that cannot
be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other
technical means.
:Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
:Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room
if the appliance is being operated in exhaust
air mode at the same time as room airdependent heat-producing appliance is being
operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coaloperated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and discharge
the exhaust gases into the open air through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
:Warning – Risk of fire!

In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
■ Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
■ The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
■ Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■ Switch back to a lower heat setting in good time.
This will save energy.
■ During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the ventilation system to work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
■ Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
■ If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
ventilation system will need to be operated for
longer.
■ Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
■ Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the
ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
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 entitled
~ "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
If the flexible cooking zone is being used as a single
hotplate, larger items of cookware can be used as
these are particularly suited to this area. You can find
information on positioning cookware in the section
entitled ~ "Flex Zone" on page 19.

en Induction cooking
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 90seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
■ Set heat setting 8to 9for preheating.
■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.
■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven
gloves.
■ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient

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 HZ39050.
You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
You can use the frying sensor when pan-frying food with
a small amount of oil.
Hotplates with this function are marked with the frying
sensor symbol.
Benefits
■ The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
■ A signal will sound once the empty frying pan has
reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and
food.
Notes
■ Do not put the lid on the pan as this will prevent the
controller from working. You can use a splatter
guard to prevent the oil from spitting.
■ Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1or 2.
■ Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
■ If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
■ Always use the cooking functions when frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan. "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", heat setting 5.

food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all hotplates.
Benefits
■ The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.
This saves energy and prevents oil or fat from
overheating.
■ The temperature is continuously monitored. This
prevents the food from spilling over. In addition, the
temperature setting does not need to be changed.
■ 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.
Temperature ranges and settings
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
during cooking.

You can use the power manager to set the total power
of the hob.
The hob is preset at the factory. Its maximum
performance is specified on the rating plate. You can
use the power manager to change the value in
accordance with the requirements for the relevant
electrical installation.
In order not to exceed this set value, the hob
automatically distributes the power available between
the cooking zones that are switched on.
As long as the power manager function is activated, the
output of a cooking zone may temporarily fall below the
nominal value. If a cooking zone is switched on and the
power limit is reached, ¬ appears in the heat setting
display for a short time. The appliance automatically
regulates and selects the highest possible power level.
