USING THE HOB

Hob overview

Hob surface
The hob surface is made of a solid glass-ceramic material. Here is some advice on how to use and maintain the surface.

DANGER!
If the surface breaks, immediately disconnect the product from the mains. Do not use the product.

CAUTION!
If sugar, or food with high sugar content, is spilled over the surface when it is hot – immediately use a wipe or a scraper to remove the sugar from the hot surface. Otherwise the surface might become damaged.

Never use detergents or other cleaners to clean a hot surface

• The surface is very resistant to temperature changes but can be damaged by falling, heavy objects. The surface might break immediately or a while after being hit.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the bottom of the cookware are clean and dry to improve performance and prevent surface damage.
• Do not use the hob as a storage area as it may result in scratches or damages.
• Do not use aluminium or plastic cookware on hot cooking zones.
• Do not place any plastic objects or aluminium foil on the hob.

Induction hob operating principle
Your hob is operating by the principle of induction which uses electric currents to heat pots and pans through magnetic induction. This means that heat is produced directly in the bottom of the cookware and that the hob surface is heated only indirectly when the cookware gets hot. No heat is generated if you turn on a cooking zone when there is no cookware placed on the zone. For induction to function, the bottom of the cookware must be made of a ferromagnetic material.

Suitable cookware
Make sure your cookware is suitable for induction heating. Use cookware marked wit .

WARNING!
Do not insert equipment between the cooking zone and the bottom of the cookware, for example equipment that makes it possible to use non-magnetic cookware. Use of such equipment may cause burns and damage on the hob.

CAUTION!

• Do not place hot pots or pans on the surface of the control panel of the hob.
• Place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.
• Do not slide the pans on the hob. The surface can be scratched.
• Do not use cookware with wrong size. The cooking zone will not heat.
• A pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.

CAUTION!
The hob will not heat if there is not a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The hob will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on it.

is displayed if

Consider the following aspects when choosing cookware for your induction hob.

• Use pans whose diameter is as large as the selected zone’s indicated area. Using a larger pot will use energy at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency could be less than expected.
• Examples of suitable cookware are cookware made of steel, enamel-coated steel pans, and cast iron pans. If you are uncertain, attach a magnet to the bottom of the cookware. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is made of ferromagnetic material and therefore suitable for an induction hob. If you do not have a magnet, put some water in the pan you want to check. If **** does not flash and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• Examples of unsuitable cookware are cookware made of pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware. The warranty does not cover damage on the hob caused by the use of unsuitable cookware.
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Concave or convex bottoms, whether intended or not, may affect the heating process and damage the hob surface and the cookware.
• When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan, or some other small item (for example a knife, fork or key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically goes to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooling down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.

Cooking pot diameter (min-max)| Cooking pot diameter at flexible area (min- max)
---|---
140 – 220 mm| 220 – 220×400 mm

Save energy
Here are some tips on how you can save energy.

• Use cookware that fits the amount of food you are cooking. The hob automatically adjusts the power to the size of the cookware. Using larger cookware than required consumes more energy.
• When possible, cover the cookware with a lid.
• Place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.
• Vegetables, potatoes, and so on, may be cooked in a smaller amount of water. The food will cook just as well, as long as the cookware is tightly closed with a lid. After bringing the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a level that just suffices to maintain a slow simmer.
• Use the residual heat from the cooking zone to heat additional pans.
