SAFETY

Before use, read the separate safety instructions first!

Temperature safety

A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced automatically or the hob switches off automatically.

Cooking-time limiter

The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob. Depending on the cooking level you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

Power limiter

⚠ Two cooking zones located behind each other affect each other. When these cooking zones are switched on at the same time, the power is distributed automatically. Up to level 9, there is no limitation. When the boost function is selected, the other cooking zone is automatically set to level 8.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Use of the touch keys and slide control

Place the tip of your finger flat on a key or the slide control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure. The touch keys only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with any other objects.

Induction noises

A ticking sound

• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at lower cooking levels.
  Pans are making noise

• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob.
  The fan is making noise

• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched Off.

Appropriate pans

Induction cooking requires a pan with a thick flat bottom (minimum 2.25 mm). Use pans made of magnetic material or pans with a sandwich bottom. Other pans provide a lower performance. Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic material are not appropriate.
⚠ Only use pans with a flat bottom. A hollow or rounded bottom can interfere with the operation of the empty cooking protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to damages. Damage caused by using pans that are not appropriate or that boil dry is excluded from the guarantee.
⚠ Pans that have been used on a gas hob cannot be used on an induction hob.
⚠ Be careful with thin enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may become damaged at high settings if the pan is too dry. High power level settings may cause the bottom of the pan to warp.

Minimum pan diameter · The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least:
100 mm for a cooking zone ø 180 mm. 210 mm for a connected cooking zone. · You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone. If a pan is too small the cooking zone will not work.
Attention Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed. Only put pans with a clean bottom on the hob. We recommend that you lift pans and not slide them over the hob.

Pan detection

• If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after a power level has been set, the pan detection symbol flashes in the display. After 1 minute the cooking zone switches off.
• If you remove a pan from the cooking zone during cooking, the pan detection symbol shows. The cooking zone switches off. The symbol disappears when you put the pan back. The cooking zone switches on again with the power level that was set before.

Power level setting

The cooking zones have 10 power levels (0-9) and a `boost’ level (P). Set the cooking level by touch and slide over the slide control. At the first touch, the level is set according to the part of the slide control that you touch. By slide over the slide control, the cooking setting is changed. By move to the right, the level increasing, while moving to the left decreases the level. When you move your finger away from the slide control, the cooking zone starts to operate at the level set.

Boost function
You can use the boost function to cook for max. 5 minutes at the highest cooking level. After 5 minutes, the power is reduced to the original setting. If the original setting equals 0, the power is reduced to setting 9.
⚠ When using the boost function, the front/rear cooking zone can be set to a maximum of level 8.

Cooking settings

Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a guideline only.

• bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;

Use setting 9 to:

• sear meats;
• cook fish;
• cook omelettes;
