4.4 OptiHeat Control (3 step Residual heat indicator)

WARNING! There is a risk of burns from residual heat.
The indicators show the level of the residual heat for the cooking zones you are currently using. The indicators may also come on for the neighbouring cooking zones even if you are not using them.
The induction cooking zones produce the heat necessary for the cooking process directly in the bottom of the cookware. The glass ceramic is heated by the heat of the cookware.

5. DAILY USE

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Activating and deactivating

Touch for 1 second to activate or deactivate the hob.

5.2 Automatic Switch Off

The function deactivates the hob automatically if:

• all cooking zones are deactivated,
• you do not set the heat setting after you activate the hob,
• you spill something or put something on the control panel for more than 10 seconds (a pan, a cloth, etc.). An acoustic signal sounds and the hob deactivates. Remove the object or clean the control panel.
• the hob gets too hot (e.g. when a saucepan boils dry). Let the cooking zone cool down before you use the hob again.
• you use incorrect cookware. The symbol comes on and the cooking zone deactivates automatically after 2 minutes.
• you do not deactivate a cooking zone or change the heat setting. After some time comes on and the hob deactivates.

The relation between the heat setting and the time after which the hob deactivates:

5.3 The heat setting

5.9 Lock

5.10 Child Safety Device

5.11 Off Sound Control (Deactivation and activation of the sounds)

5.12 Power management

If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones. The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.

• If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power (refer to the rating plate), the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.
• The heat setting of the cooking zone selected last is always prioritised. The remaining power will be divided between the previously activated cooking zones in reverse order of selection.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between the initially selected heat setting and the reduced heat setting.
• Wait until the display stops flashing or reduce the heat setting of the cooking zone selected last. The cooking zones will continue operating with the reduced heat setting. Change the heat settings of the cooking zones manually, if necessary.

5.13 Hob²Hood

It is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infrared signal communicator. Speed of the fan is defined automatically on basis of mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.

For most of the hoods the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to hood user manual.

Operating the function automatically To operate the function automatically set the automatic mode to H1 ­ H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob. The hob recognizes temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.
Automatic modes

To operate the hood directly on the hood panel deactivate the automatic mode of the function.

When you finish cooking and deactivate the hob, the hood fan may still operate for a certain period of time. After that time the system deactivates the fan automatically and prevents you from accidental activation of the fan for the next 30 seconds.

Operating the fan speed manually
You can also operate the function manually.
To do that touch when the hob is active. This deactivates automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually. When you press you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level and press again you will set fan speed to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with fan speed 1 touch .

To activate automatic operation of the function, deactivate the hob and activate it again.

Activating the light You can set the hob to activate the light automatically whenever you activate the hob. To do so set the automatic mode to H1 ­ H6.
The light on the hood deactivates 2 minutes after deactivating the hob.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 Cookware

For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
  Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:

• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware dimensions

• Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in “Cooking zones specification”. Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.
  Refer to “Technical data”.

6.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.

6.3 Examples of cooking applications

The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.

6.4 Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood

When you operate the hob with the function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
• Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.
• Do not cover the hob control panel.
• Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (e.g. with the hand, a cookware handle or a tall pot). See the picture.

The hood in the picture is only exemplary.

Other remotely controlled appliances may block the signal. Do not use any such appliances near to the hob while Hob²Hood is on.

Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood function
To find the full range of cooker hoods which work with this function refer to our consumer website. The AEG cooker hoods that work with this function must have the symbol .

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

• Use a special scraper for the glass.

7.2 Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a nonabrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

8.1 What to do if…
