Power Management

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.
