If you wear an active implantable medical device (e.g. a pacemaker or defibrillator), check with your doctor that it complies with Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20th June 1990, EN 45502-2-1 and EN 45502-2-2, and that it has been chosen, implanted and  programmed in accordance with VDE-AR-E 2750-10. If these conditions are satisfied, and if, in addition, non-metal cooking utensils and cookware with non-metal handles are used, it is safe to use this induction hob as intended.

1.3 Restriction on user group
This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by people who have reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate experience and/or knowledge, provided that they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting dangers.
Do not let children play with the appliance.
Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance unless they are at least 15 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children under the age of 8 years away from the appliance and power cable.

1.4 Safe use
  WARNING ‒ Risk of suffocation!
Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶ Keep small parts away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with small parts.
Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate.
▶ Keep packaging material away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with packaging material.

WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.

▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as a room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved whenever the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that  cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They are able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.
▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating-air mode.

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires.
▶ Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
▶ Never attempt to extinguish a fire using water; instead, switch off the appliance and then cover with a lid or a fire blanket.
The cooking surface becomes very hot.
▶ Never place flammable objects on the cooking surface or in its immediate vicinity.
▶ Never place objects on the cooking surface.
The appliance will become hot.
▶ Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.
Hob covers can cause accidents, for example due to overheating, catching fire or materials shattering.
▶ Do not use hob covers.
After every use, switch off the hob using the main switch.
▶ Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically as there are no longer any pots and pans on it.
Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire.
▶ Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.
▶ Clean the grease filters regularly.
▶ Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing).
▶ Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coalburning) unless the heating appliance has a sealed, non-removable cover. There must be no flying sparks.

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The appliance and its parts that can be touched become hot during use, particularly the hob surround, if fitted.
▶ Caution should be exercised here in order to avoid touching heating elements.
▶ Young children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance.
Hob protective grilles may cause accidents.
▶ Never use hob protective grilles.
Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot.
▶ Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the hob.
The appliance becomes hot during operation.
▶ Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
▶ If hot liquids penetrate the appliance, only remove the grease filter or the overflow container once the appliance has cooled down.

WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Improper repairs are dangerous.
▶ Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
▶ Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the appliance.
▶ If the power cord or the appliance power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord or special appliance power cable, which is available from the manufacturer or its Customer Service.

If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous.
▶ Never operate a damaged appliance.
▶ Never operate an appliance with a cracked or fractured surface.
▶ Never pull on the power cord to unplug the appliance. Always unplug the appliance at the mains.

Avoiding material damage

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

melted
enamel or cookware with copper or aluminium base.| Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
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 accessories or other hard or pointed
objects.| When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects fall onto the
hob.
Scratches, discolouration| Rough cookware bases or moving the cookware 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 appliance| Cooking with frozen cookware.| Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cookware 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 aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob.

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 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. Use a suitable ongoing power level.

• If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.

Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking.

• The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.

If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time.

• The odours are distributed around the room less.

Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cooking.
• The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer operating noises.

Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.

• The effectiveness of the filter is retained.

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.

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 14.

evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
| Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled
steel, cast iron or special induction cookware
made of stainless steel.| This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected easily.
Suitable| The base is not fully ferromagnetic.| If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
| Cookware bases with aluminium content.| These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected  at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable| Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

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.

5.6 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.

Operating modes

You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.

6.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

• If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
• If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external wall, a telescopic duct should be used.

6.2 Air recirculation
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the room.
To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you must install an odour filter.
The different options for operating the appliance in air circulation mode can be found in our catalogue. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from our after-sales service or from the online shop.
Note: When cooking intensively and for a long time, moisture is released into the air in the room. When using the appliance in air recirculation mode, we recommend ventilating the kitchen adequately, e.g. by briefly opening a window to remove excessive moisture.

Before using for the first time

Observe the following recommendations.

7.1 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.
