Environmental protection and saving energy
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
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.
- If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.
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.
Size and characteristics of the cookware
To be able to correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be
perfectly flat and smooth. Use a Cookware test to check whether the cookware
is suitable. Refer to → “Cookware test”, Page 15 for more details.
Note
- 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.
Familiarising yourself with your appliance
Cooking with induction
In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a
series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when
cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and
care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly
in the cookware.
Control panel
Individual details, such as color and shape, may differ from the figure
Notes
- Always keep the control panel clean and dry.
- Do not place any cookware near the displays or sensors. The electronics may overheat.
Touch buttons
When you switch on the hob, the symbols for the controls available at this
time light up.
Depending on the status of the hob, the displays for the cooking zones and the various activated and available functions also light up.
Distribution of the cooking zones
The specified power has been measured with the standard pots, which are
described in IEC/EN 60335-2-6. The power may vary depending on the size of the
cookware or cookware material.
Cooking zone
Before you start cooking, check whether the size of the cookware fits the
cooking zone that you want to use for cooking:
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.

intermediate values. Select the best power level for the food and the planned
cooking process.
Cooking tips
- When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.

cookware is used. In order to guarantee good thermal detection and heat
distribution, we recommend positioning the cookware in the centre, as shown in
the figures
