Hob2Hood

This is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infra-red signal communicator. The speed of the fan is
defined automatically on the basis of the mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cooking zone on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.

IMPORTANT!

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

Operating the function automatically

The default automatic mode from the factory is H5. You can change the automatic mode by following the instructions below. When you activate the job the hood
will adjust the fan speed automatically. Please note the below table is a guide, the fan speed varies depending on the temperature measured on the cooking zones of
the cooktop which can be affected by the heat setting(s) selected as well as the size and volume of what you are cooking.

Automatic modes

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.

Energy saving

• Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

• Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.

• If possible, always place lids on the pans.
  

• Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.
