3. Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will useless energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of yourpan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-meter as the hotplate.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upperdiameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than thebase diameter.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

• Cooking without a lid consumes considerably moreenergy.

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 cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

4.1 Size 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 12.

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. Familiarising yourself with your appliance

5.1 Cooking 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.

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

Notes

• Always keep the control panel clean and dry.
• Do not place any cookware near the displays or sensors. The electronics may overheat.

Selection sensors
When you switch on the hob, the controls that are available at this time light up.

Depending on the status of the hob, the displays for the cooking zones and the various activated and available functions also light up.

5.3 Distribution of the cooking zones
The specified power has been measured with the standard pots, which are described in IEC/EN 60335-2-6. The power may vary depending on the size of the cookware or cookware material.

5.4 Cooking zone
Before you start cooking, check whether the size of the cookware fits the cooking zone that you want to use for cooking:

5.5 Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. Do not touch the cooking zone if the residual heat indicator is lit.

6. Basic operation

6.4 Cooking 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
