Measure Monitor the cooking process. Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean
the hob when it is cold. When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects
fall onto the hob. Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it. Do
not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Never use frozen cookware.

Environmental protection and saving energyen
ATTENTION! A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is
located on the underside of the hob,
do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These
objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling. There must
be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan
entry point.
3 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.
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. ¡ 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.
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 16.
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.
5
enSuitable 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.

5.1Cooking 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.
5.2Control panel
Individual details, such as colour 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.

6.4Cooking tips
¡ When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.
¡ To preheat, set the power level 8-9. ¡ When cooking with the lid on, reduce
the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not affected by
the steam escaping. ¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you
serve the dish. ¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer’s
instructions. ¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients will be
lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the optimal cooking time. ¡ Ensure
that the oil does not smoke.
¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after the other.
¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is
cooking. You should therefore use oven gloves.
¡ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking under “Saving
energy”, Page 5
