Power Management
This product is equipped with electronically controlled Power Management. See
the illustration.
This function monitors electric loading and limits the maximum power output to
3700 W for each cooking area group (1+2 and 3+4), optimizing the power
distribution and preventing the system from overloading.
Hob in full power setting – the function divides the power between cooking
areas belonging to the same group and automatically decreases the power of the
other cooking area, if necessary (the last command has the highest priority).
Hob in power limitation setting – the function divides the power between
cooking areas and doesn’t allow to set the power for the other cooking areas
exceeding the limit (to increase the power of a particular cooking area, the
power setting for the other ones needs to be lowered manually).
Example:
If boost level (P) is selected for cooking area 1, cooking area 2 cannot
exceed level 9 at the same time and will be automatically limited.
Cookware guidance
What pots to use
Only use pots and pans with a bottom made from ferromagnetic material which is
suitable for use with inductions hobs:
- cast iron
- enameled steel
- carbon steel
- stainless steel (although not all)
- aluminum with ferromagnetic coating or ferromagnetic plate
To determine if a pot or pan is suitable, check for the symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). You can also hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction hob. To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.
How to use
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas
To ensure that the hob functions properly, the pot must cover one or more of
the reference points indicated on the surface of the hob, and must be of
suitable minimum diameter.
Always use the cooking area that best corresponds to the diameter of the
bottom of the pan.
Cooking area | Cookware diameter (mm) |
---|---|
Ø min. (recommended) | Ø max (recommended) |
Bridge left side | 190 mm |
Right rear | 110 mm |
Right front | 110 mm |
Left rear | 110 mm |
Left front | 110 mm |
Empty or thin-based pots/pans
Do not use empty or thin-based pots/pans on the hob as it will not be able to
monitor the temperature or turn off automatically if the temperature is too
high, damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch
anything and wait for all components to cool down.
If an error message appears, refer to “Troubleshooting”.
Hint/tips
Noise during cooking
When a cooking area is active, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of
all induction cooking zones and does not impair the function or life of the
appliance. The noise depends on the cookware used. If it causes a considerable
disturbance, it may help to change the cookware.
Normal operating noises of the induction hob
Induction technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields to
generate heat directly on the bottom of the cookware. Pots and pans may cause
a variety of noises or vibrations depending on how they are manufactured.
These noises are described as follows:
Low humming (like a transformer)
This noise is produced when cooking at a high heat level. lt is based on the
amount of energy transferred from the cooktop to the cookware. The noise
ceases or quiets down when the heat level is reduced.
Quiet whistling
This noise is produced when the cooking vessel is empty. lt ceases once
liquids or food are placed in the vessel.
Crackling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of various materials layered one
upon the other. lt is caused by the vibrations of the surfaces where different
materials meet. The noise occurs on the cookware and can vary depending on the
amount of food or liquid and the cooking method (e.g., boiling, simmering,
frying).
Loud whistling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of different materials layered one
upon the other, and when they are additionally used at maximum output and also
on two cooking zones. The noise ceases or quiets down when the heat level is
reduced.
These sounds are normal
Fan noises
For proper operation of the electronic system, it is necessary to regulate the
temperature of the cooktop. For this purpose, the cooktop is equipped with a
cooling fan, which is activated to reduce and regulate the temperature of the
electronic system. The fan may also continue to run after the appliance is
turned off if the detected temperature of the cooktop is still too hot after
turning it off.
Rhythmic sounds, similar to the ticking sound of a clock
This noise occurs only when at least three cooking zones are operating and
disappears or weakens when some of them are switched off. The noises described
are a normal element of the described induction technology and should not be
regarded as defects.
Care and cleaning
- Never use abrasive sponges, wire wool, hydrochloric acid, or other products that might scratch or mark the surface.
- Food that falls accidentally or builds upon the surface, the functional or aesthetic elements of the Hob must not be eaten.
- Switch off or unplug the appliance from the main supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
- Clean the appliance after every use, to prevent any residual food from burning on. It is much harder work to remove crusted and burned-on dirt.
- For day-to-day dirt, use a soft cloth or sponge and a suitable detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding detergents to be used. The use of protective detergents is recommended.
- Remove crusted dirt, for example, milk that has boiled over, using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the cooker-hob is still hot. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding scraper pads to be used.
- Remove food containing sugar, for example, jam that has spilled during cooking, using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the Hob is still hot. If you do not, the residue may damage the vitreous ceramic surface.
- Remove any melted plastic using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the Hob is still hot. If you do not, the residue may damage the vitreous ceramic surface.
- Remove limescale using a small amount of limescale remover solution, for example, vinegar or lemon juice, once the Hob has cooled down. Then clean again with a damp cloth.
- Do not cut or prepare foodstuffs on the surface, and do not drop hard objects onto it. Do not drag pans or plates over the surface.
- Do not use steam cleaning equipment.

However, if an IKEA service provider or its authorized service partner repairs or replaces the appliance under the terms of this guarantee, the service provider or its authorized service partner will reinstall the repaired appliance or install the replacement, if necessary.
This restriction does not apply to fault-free work carried out by a qualified specialist using our original parts in order to adapt the appliance to the technical safety specifications of another EU country.
How country law applies
The IKEA guarantee gives You specific legal rights, which cover or exceed
local demands. However, these conditions do not limit in any way consumer
rights described in the local legislation
Area of validity
For appliances that are purchased in one EU country and taken to another EU
country, the services will be provided in the framework of the guarantee
conditions normal in the new country. An obligation to carry out services in
the framework of the guarantee exists only if the appliance complies and is
installed in accordance with:

The dedicated After Sales Service for IKEA appliances:
Please do not hesitate to contact IKEA AfterSales Service to:

-
ask for clarification on the installation of the IKEA appliance in the dedicated IKEA kitchen furniture. The service won’t provide clarifications related to:
– the overall IKEA kitchen installation;
