Startup/Operation

Functional principle
When cooking with induction, the heat will only be created with magnetic force when cookware with a magnetizable bottom is placed onto a cooking zone which is switched on. Only the bottom of the cookware is thereby heated, but not the cooking zone itself.
Benefits: time saving, energy saving, easy cleaning, controlled head supply and safety.
Selecting appropriate cookware
Cookware made from magnetizable material is required for induction cooking zones.
Cookware carries the label “suitable for induction cooking”.
Basically, you can use all ferrous cookware. Suitable or not, shows you a brief test:

• Put the cookware in question with some water on.
  If the display shows [ ], the dishes are unsuitable for induction cooking.
  Do not use cookware made of conventional stainless steel, glass, ceramic, copper or aluminum.

Wrong!

| Cookware is too small.
Heat loss!
---|---
| Cookware ground uneven.
Poor heat transfer!
| Lid does not close properly.
Heat loss!

Correct! To save time and energy!
CAUTION:
The cooking surface and the base of the cookware must always be clean and dry.

Diameter of the cookware corresponds with the diameter of the hob.
The cookware base is fully resting, and the lid closes properly.
Pot detection
The heating function is interrupted, if:

• cookware of unsuitable size or
• of non-magnetic material is used,
• a foreign body is placed on the hob or
• the cookware has removed.

In the display is flashing the indication .
If suitable cookware is not placed onto the respective zone within one minute, the cooking zone switches to standby mode. After about another minute, the appliance switches off automatically.
General information to the operation

• The appliance is operated via touch buttons at the control panel.
• The buttons react to the slightest touch. You do not need to apply any pressure.
• The appliance reacts best when touching the buttons with the fingertips and with dry hands.
• Once a touch has been registered, a brief beep will sound.
• Ensure that the control panel is always clean and dry. Objects or a small liquid film can impair operation.

Automatic switch-off
The automatic switch-off is a safety function for your appliance. If a cooking zone is in operation for a long period and if you do not enter anything on the control panel, the automatic switch-off will be activated. The standard times of the different power levels can be found in the following table:

Switching off the appliance

• After the cooking process is finished, switch off the appliance with the power button (5).

Energy saving tips
Information to reduce the environmental effect of cooking (acc. VO (EU) No. 66/2014 appendix I, No. 2)

• Use pans and pots with flat floors. Uneven floors increase the energy consumption. The diameter of the pot and pan floors should be according to the size of the cooking zone, or bigger.

• Pans and pots, which are too small on the cooking zone leads to energy losses.
  Note: Dishes producer partly indicate the upper pot diameter.
  It is usually larger than the diameter of the pot floor.

• Use a small pot for small quantities. A large pot, which is only slightly filled, required a lot of energy.

• Use as little water as possible. This saves energy.
  Vegetables retain their vitamins.

• Always close pots with a suitable lid. When cooking without lid you need four times more energy.
  When using glass lids, more energy can be saved because you can see into the pot without open the lid.

• Use a quick cooker to clearly reduce the cooking time and save energy.

• After boiling or frying, switch off the used cooking zones to a smaller power level.

• Use the residual heat of the pan, the pot and the food. Switch off the cooking zones 5-10 minutes before cooking time.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING:

• Always switch off the appliance completely before cleaning and maintenance work and disconnect it from the power supply if necessary.

• Allow the unit to cool down before cleaning.

• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appliance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts.

• Never use flammable substances, such as thinner, kerosene, gasoline or acids for cleaning.

• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
  CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive items.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal objects for cleaning the glass surface. The surfaces can be scratched or destroyed.

• Always consider the application and safety notes of the detergent.

Cleaning the hob

• Remove food residues while the hob is still warm with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• Wash the hob with a soft sponge and a little water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
