Safety

Please read the separate safety instructions before using the appliance!

Temperature Protection
A sensor continuously monitors the temperature of certain parts of the cooktop. Each cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that continuously monitors the temperature of the bottom of the pan to prevent the risk of overheating when a pan is dry. If the temperature is too high, the power of the cooktop is automatically reduced or the cooktop is automatically switched off.

Cooking Duration Limiter
The cooking duration limiter is a safety feature of your cooktop. It is activated if you forget to turn off the cooktop. Depending on the selected setting, the cooking duration is limited as follows:

• After 5 minutes, the power is reduced to the original setting.
• If the original setting equals 0, the power is reduced to setting 9.

Power limiter

• When using the boost function, the other zone can be set to setting 7 at most. If the total power of the active cooking zones exceeds the maximum available power, the power is automatically reduced to the maximum possible setting.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Ensure the cooktop is turned off and cooled down.
2. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge using mild detergent if necessary.
3. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Cleaning
Daily cleaning

• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you to clean the hob immediately after use.
• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry towel.

Stubborn stains

• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar is also best removed with a glass scraper.

Never use

• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime scale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

Dispose of these materials in a responsible manner and in accordance with government regulations.

• As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled dustbin. This means that at the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.

Declaration of conformity
We declare that our products meet the applicable European Directives, Decisions and Regulations and the requirements listed in the standards referenced.

Packaging and Disposal
The manual provides instructions on how to dispose of the packaging and the appliance. Please refer to this section for proper disposal methods.

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:
  • 140 mm for a cooking zone ø 180 mm
• 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 2 minutes 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 at the highest power level during a short period of time (max. 5 minutes). 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 other zone can be set to setting 7 at most.

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.

Use setting ‘boost’ to:

• bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;

Use setting 9 to:

• sear meats;
• cook fish;
• cook omelettes;
• fry boiled potatoes;
• deep fry foods.

Use setting 7 and 8 to:

• fry thick pancakes;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat;
• fry bacon (fat);
• cook raw potatoes;
• make French toast;
• fry breaded fish;
• cook through pasta;
• fry thin slices of (breaded) meat.

Use setting 4-6 to:

• complete the cooking of large quantities;
• defrost hard vegetables;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat.

Use settings 1-3 to:

• simmer bouillon;
• stew meats;
• simmer vegetables;
• melt chocolate;
• poach;
• melt cheese.
• The appliance identification card is located on the bottom of the appliance.
• Stick the appliance identification card here.
• When contacting the service department, have the complete type number to hand.
• You will find the addresses and phone numbers of the service organisation on the guarantee card.
