Action Keep the rotary knob contact area clean.
Never use frozen cookware.
Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. Do not place greaseproof paper or aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob. Never place hot cookware on these areas.

ATTENTION! A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob,
do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling. There must be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate. Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter. ¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids. ¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible. ¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid. ¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. ¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. ¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. ¡ The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level early on. ¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

4 Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

5

enSuitable cookware

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.
4.1Size and characteristics of the cookware

To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. You can use Cookware test to check whether your cookware is suitable. You can find more information about this under “Cookware test”, Page 22.

Cookware Recommended cookware
Suitable

Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well. Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. The base is not fully ferromagnetic.
Cookware bases with aluminium content.

Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected easily.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.

Not suitable

Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes ¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware. ¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

5.1Cooking with induction
In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when cooking and

frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly in the cookware.

5.2Control panel
Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ from the figure.

Tips ¡ Always keep the control panel clean and dry. ¡ Do not place any cookware near the displays or but-
tons. The electronics may overheat.

Selection sensors When you switch on the hob, the symbols for the controls available at this time light up white. When a function is switched on, its display lights up orange.

Meaning The cooking zone is hot. The cooking zone is warm.

6 Control element TwistPad
The rotary knob used to select the cooking zones and power levels can be removed. Since the rotary knob is magnetic, it automatically centres itself in its special programming zone.
6.1Positioning and operating TwistPad
Position the rotary knob so that it is centred on the programming zone in relation to the displays that limit this zone. To switch on a cooking zone, push the rotary knob at the level of the required cooking zone. Turn the rotary knob to select the power level. Note: The rotary knob still functions correctly even if the knob is not precisely centred. Always keep the rotary knob clean. Soiling may impair the function.

6.2Instructions for use
¡ A strong magnet is located inside the rotary knob. Keep the rotary knob away from magnetic data carriers such as credit cards and cards with magnetic strips. It may damage them. The magnet may also cause faults on televisions and screens.
¡ The rotary knob is magnetic. Metal particles stuck to the bottom may scratch the surface of the hob. Always clean the twist knob thoroughly.
6.3Removing TwistPad
You can remove the rotary knob from the cooking zone during the cooking process. If you remove the rotary knob, the Wipe protection function is switched on for 10 minutes. If you do not reset the rotary knob to its position before this time elapses, the hob switches off.
WARNING Risk of fire! The hob may continue to heat up. If, during this 10 seconds, a metallic object is placed in the area of the TwistPad, the cooking zone may continue to heat up. Always switch off the hob at the main switch.

8.4Cooking tips

¡ When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.
¡ To preheat, set the power level 8-9. ¡ When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not affected by the steam escaping. ¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you serve the dish. ¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer’s instructions. ¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the optimal cooking time. ¡ Ensure that the oil does not smoke. ¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after the other. ¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. You should therefore use oven gloves. ¡ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking under “Saving energy”, Page 5
