4.4 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The
induction coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing
magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware.
Removing the cookware from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the
supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
– quick reacting
– finely adjustable
–powerful
– energy-efficient
– safe.
4.5 Surface cooking
In surface cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
The pans can be placed freely on the hob, the symbol must, however, be
covered for pan detection.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a magnetic base.
If a large pan covers both circles , both heating zones can be
switched on together with the bridging function.
4 Your appliance
20
4.6 Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable
induction compatible cookware with a magnetic base.
• If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is
used,
– the power level selected flashes alternately with .
• If no suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone before the pan
detection time (10 minutes) elapses,
– the cooking zone switches off
– the display changes from to
– the appliance switches off after 10 seconds if no other cooking zone is
in use.
4.7 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base is suitable for use with the induction
hob.
This can be tested in the following ways:
• A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
• On the hob, the power level set illuminates and does not alternate with
the power level.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings
and the like. This can damage the hob.
4 Your appliance
21
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
• The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
• Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
• Use a well-fitting lid.
• Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Coated cookware
• Coated cookware when empty may never be heated at a higher power
level than .
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
• For frying, do not use a higher power level than 9.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any
malfunction, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturbance, it can help to change the cookware.

Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings
or surface.
➤ Use only a soft cloth or sponge with water and a suitable detergent for
cleaning everyday soiling. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions for use. Using a detergent with a protective additive is
recommended.
➤ Remove stubborn soiling, e.g. boiled-over milk, while still warm using a
glass ceramic hob scraper.
Always follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions for use.
➤ Foods with a high sugar content, e.g. marmalade, that boil over should be
removed while still hot using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of
the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
➤ Remove melted plastic while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper.
The surface of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
➤ Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale
remover (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, descaler). Then wipe clean with a damp
cloth.
To avoid risk of burns, allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
