Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate" section of this booklet. Cleaning for the first time Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels. Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.
Induction The induction principle An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan. An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.
Induction Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed. – On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced. The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the hob is being used intensively, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound.
Induction Pans Suitable pans include: – stainless steel pans with a magnetic base Make sure that you always place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone. If the pan only partially covers the zone, the handle could become very hot. – enamelled steel pans – cast iron pans Unsuitable pans: – stainless steel pans without a magnetic base – aluminium and copper pans Tips on saving energy Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.
Use Sensor switches This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds. Take care to keep the control panel clean and do not place anything on top of it. The sensor switches may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the hob to switch off automatically (see Safety switch-off.
Use Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. To switch the hob on ^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s. 0 appears in each of the cooking zone displays. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons. To switch a cooking zone on ^ Briefly touch the area under the cooking zone display required once. A 0 will flash in the display.
Use Settings Cooking process Settings* Melting butter Dissolving gelatine 1-2 3 Warming small quantities of food/liquid Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice Defrosting frozen vegetables Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e.g.
Use Auto heat-up To activate Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). ^ While a 0 is flashing in the cooking zone display, touch the - sensor until the required continued cooking setting appears, e.g. 6.
Use Booster function Each cooking zone has a Booster function. When activated, the zones will operate on power setting 9 with an extra boost of power for a period of 10 minutes. This boost is intended for quickly bringing large quantities of water to the boil, e.g. when cooking pasta. The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
Use Switching off and residual heat indicators To switch off a cooking zone ^ Touch the sensor switch for the relevant cooking zone twice. A 0 flashes in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will then appear in the display. The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zones cool down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.
Safety features Safety lock To activate the safety lock Keep children away from the hob for their own safety. ^ Touch the - and + sensors at the same time until an audible tone sounds. Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered. The safety lock can be activated when the hob is switched off as well as when it is in use.
Safety features Safety switch-off Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself. Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) and the power settings are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear. To use the cooking zone again, switch it back on in the usual way.
Safety features Overheating protection Overheating can be caused by: All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways: – Heating up an empty pan – Fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.
