Product Usage Instructions
Safety
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 drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric pressure. 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 does not 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.
Avoiding Material Damage
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.
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.
The hotplate heats up but the display does not work. Switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Call customer service.
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.

terial.
Safetyen
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
coaloperated 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 flue 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 drop more than 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar) below atmospheric pressure. 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 does not 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.

Avoiding material damageen
The wireless temperature sensor is equipped with a battery, which may become
damaged if it is exposed to high temperatures. Remove the sensor from the
cookware and
store it away from any heat sources. The temperature sensor may be very hot
when removing it from the saucepan. Wear oven gloves or use a tea towel to re-
move it. When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could
shatter due to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie
must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heat-
resistant cookware.
An appliance with a cracked or broken surface can cause cuts. Do not use the
appliance if it has a cracked
or broken surface. WARNING Danger: Magnetism!
The wireless temperature sensor is magnetic and can damage electronic
implants, e.g. heart pacemakers or insulin pumps. Persons with electronic
implants must
stand at least 10 cm away from the magnetic control element. Never put the
control element in your pockets.

Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
5
enSuitable cookware
3.2Saving 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 cook-
ing 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 con-
sumed. 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.
4 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.
4.1Size 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 24.
Cookware Recommended cookware
Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the
heat well.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction
cookware made of stainless steel.
Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected easily.
6
Suitable cookware
Suitable
The base is not fully ferromagnetic. Cookware bases with aluminium content.
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.
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. 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.

Operating modes
You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.
6.1Air 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.
6.2Air recirculation mode
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 circulating-air mode, you must install an odour filter. The
different options for operating the appliance in circulating-air mode can be
found in our catalogue. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required
accessories are available from specialist retailers, from customer service or
from the Online Shop.

27.2Noises
Question Why can I hear noises while I’m cooking?
Possible noises
FAQsen
Answer ¡ Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base
material of
the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They do not
indicate that there is a fault. ¡ A deep humming noise similar to a
transformer: Occurs when cooking at a high power level. This noise disappears
or becomes quieter when you reduce the power level. ¡ A quiet whistling noise:
This can be heard when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when you
add water or food to the cookware. ¡ Crackling: This noise occurs when the
cookware is made from different multilayer materials, or if you use cookware
of different sizes and different materials. The loudness of the noise can vary
depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method. ¡ Loud
whistling noises: These may arise if you are operating two cooking zones at
the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling noises disappear
or become quieter when you reduce the power level. ¡ Fan noises: The hob is
equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The
fan may also continue to run after you have switched the hob off if the
temperature measured is still too high.
