Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

sugar content.

| Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or fractures in the glass| Defective cookware, cookware with melted enamel or cookware with copper or alu-

minium base.

| Use suitable cookware that is in a good con- dition.
Stains, discolouration| Unsuitable cleaning methods.| Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when

it is cold.

Blisters or fractures in

the glass

| Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-

cessories or other hard or pointed objects.

| When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-

jects fall onto the hob.

Scratches, discolour-

ation

| Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-

ware on the hob.

| Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when

moving it.

Scratches| Salt, sugar or sand.| Do not use the hob as a work surface or

storage space.

Damage to the appli-

ance

| Cooking with frozen cookware.| Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cook-

ware or the appliance

| Cooking without contents.| Never place or heat empty cookware on a

hot cooking zone.

Glass damage| Melted material on the hot cooking zone or hot pot lid on the glass.| Do not place greaseproof paper or alu- minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids

on the hob.

Overheating| Hot cookware on the control panel or on the

frame.

| 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

Environmental protection and saving energy

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

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

Saving 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 cooking 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

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.

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 15

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.

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.

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

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.

Before using for the first time

Observe the following recommendations.

• Initial cleaning
  Remove any leftover packaging from the hob surface and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You can find a list of recommended detergents on the official website www.bosch-home.com.
  More information on care and cleaning. → Page 18

• 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.

Cooking tips

• When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.

• 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.

• 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.
