Overview
You will find the most frequently caused damage in the
following table:
7Environmental protection
Environmental protection
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.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Boiled over food. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of hob.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Cookware with rough bases scratch the hob. Check the cookware.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of hob.
Pan abrasion. Lift pots and pans when moving them.
Chips Sugar, food with a high sugar content. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.
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 cooking zone. If a cooking zone does not detect the
cookware, try placing the cookware on another cooking
zone with a smaller diameter.
If the only cooking zone 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 entitled ~ "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.
■ 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.
No cookware on the cooking zone or cookware of an
unsuitable size
If no cookware has been placed on the selected
cooking zone, or if the cookware is the wrong size or
made from an unsuitable material, the displayed power
setting will flash.Place suitable cookware on the
cooking zone. The power setting for the cooking zone
will stop flashing. Otherwise, the cooking zone will
automatically switch itself off after 90 seconds.

Empty cookware and thin-bottomed cookware
Do not heat up saucepans or frying pans when they are
empty, and do not use thin-bottomed cookware. If you
do, the cookware may heat up very quickly and the
safety cut-out may not be activated in time. This may
cause the base of the cookware to melt and the glassceramic hob may be damaged. Never touch cookware
when it is hot. Switch off the cooking zone. If the hob no
longer works once everything has cooled down, call the
after-sales service.
Pan detection
Each cooking zone 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. You should always use the cooking zone that

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
■ Stir occasionally when heating up purees, creamy
soups and thick sauces.
■ Use power setting 8-9 for preheating.
■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the power setting
down as soon as steam starts to escape from
between the lid and the cookware.
■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
■ To cook with the pressure cooker, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen timer can be used
to set the required cooking time.
■ For healthier cooking results, oil and grease should
not be heated to their smoke point.
■ 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
cooking in the section entitled ~ "Environmental
protection"

Flex Zone
A flexible cooking zone can be used as a linked
cooking zone or as two independent cooking zones, as
required.
The flexible cooking zone consists of four inductors that
work independently of each other. When the flexible
cooking zone is in use, only the area that is covered by
cookware is activated.
The hob has two linked cooking zones when it starts.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is
distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
Use as two independent cooking zones
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent
cooking zones.
Separating the linked cooking zone
