Touch to increase the heat setting. Touch to decrease the heat setting. Touch and at the same time to deactivate the cooking zone.
Residual heat indicator
WARNING!
As long as the indicator is on, there is a risk of burns from residual heat.
The induction cooking zones produce the heat necessary for the cooking process directly in the bottom of the cookware. The glass ceramic is heated by the heat of the cookware.
The indicator appears when a cooking zone is hot.
The indicator may also appear:
- for the neighboring cooking zones even if you are not using them,
- when hot cookware is placed on cold cooking zone,
- when the hob is deactivated but the cooking zone is still hot.
The indicator disappears when the cooking zone has cooled down.
Booster
This function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones. The
function can be activated for the induction cooking zone only for a limited
period of time. After this time the induction cooking zone automatically sets
back to the highest heat setting.
- Refer to the “Technical data” chapter.
To activate the function for a cooking zone:
first set the cooking zone and than set the maximum heat setting. Touch until
comes on.
- To deactivate the function: touch .
Lock
You can lock the control panel while cooking zones operate. It prevents an
accidental change of the heat setting.
Set the heat setting first.
- To activate the function: touch comes on for 4 seconds.
- To deactivate the function: touch . The previous heat setting comes on.
When you deactivate the hob, you also deactivate this function.
Child Safety Device
This function prevents an accidental operation of the hob.
To activate the function: activate the hob with . Do not set any heat settings. Touch for 4 seconds. comes on. Deactivate the hob with .

Deactivate the hob. Press for 3 seconds. Press for 3 seconds. The display
shows on the front left zone and or on the front right zone. Touch sensor
field for the
right rear zone to choose one of the following:
- – the sounds are off
- – the sounds are on
When the function is set to you can hear the sounds only when:
- you touch
- there is an error in the hob.
Power management
If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of
the power supply, this function divides the available power between all
cooking zones. The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the
house installation.
- If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power (refer to the rating plate), the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.
- The heat setting of the cooking zone selected last is always prioritized. The remaining power will be divided between the previously activated cooking zones in reverse order of selection.
- The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between the initially selected heat setting and the reduced heat setting.
- Wait until the display stops flashing or reduce the heat setting of the cooking zone selected last. The cooking zones will continue operating with the reduced heat setting. Change the heat settings of the cooking zones manually, if necessary.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong electromagnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.
- The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
- Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.
- In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
- correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
- not correct: aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:
- water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
- a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
Cookware dimensions
- Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
- The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
- For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in the “Cooking zones specification”. Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to “Technical data”.
The noises during the operation
If you can hear:
- crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
- whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
- humming: you use a high power level.
- clicking: electric switching occurs.
- hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.
Examples of cooking applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not
proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
- The data in the table is for guidance only.
Heat setting | Use to: | Time (min) | Hints |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Keep cooked food warm. | as neces‐ sary | Put a lid on the cookware. |
1 – 2 | Hollandaise sauce, melt: butter, choco‐ late, gelatine. | 5 – 25 | Mix |
from time to time.
2| Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked eggs.| 10 – 40| Cook with a lid on.
2 – 3| Simmer rice and milkbased dishes, heat up ready-cooked meals.| 25 – 50|
Add at least twice as much liquid as rice, mix milk dishes halfway through the
procedure.
3 – 4| Stew vegetables, fish, meat.| 20 – 45| Add a few tablespoons of water.
Check the water amount during the process.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
General information
- Clean the hob after each use.
- Always use cookware with a clean base.
- Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.
- Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.
- Use a special scraper for the glass.
Cleaning the hob
- Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
- Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
- Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
What to do if…
If you cannot find a solution…
If you cannot find a solution to the problem yourself, contact your dealer or
an Authorised Service Centre. Give the data from the rating plate. Give also
three digit letter code for the glass ceramic (it is in the corner of the
glass surface) and an error message that comes on. Make sure, you operated the
hob correctly. If not the servicing by a service technician or dealer will not
be free of charge, also during the warranty period. The information about
guarantee period and Authorised Service Centres are in the guarantee booklet.
