Hints & Tips for SenseBoil®
The function works best for boiling water and preparing potatoes.
It does not work with cast iron and non-stick cookware, e.g. with a ceramic coating. Enamelled steel pots are recommended for achieving the best results while boiling potatoes.  Check if the pot you chose is suitable for SenseBoil® by monitoring the first cooking session. To use SenseBoil® efficiently follow the advice below:

•  FiIl between half to three-quarters of the pot with cold tap water leaving 4 cm from the rim of the pot empty. Do not use less than 1 or more than 5 liters of water. Make sure the total weight of the theater ( or the water and potatoes) ranges between 1-5 kg.
• If you want to cook potatoes, make sure they are completely covered with water, but remember to leave at least one-quarter of the pot empty.
• To achieve the best results cook only whole, unpeeled, medium-sized potatoes.
• Make sure you do not pack potatoes too tightly.
• Avoid producing external vibrations (e.g. from using a blender or placing a mobile phone next to the appliance) when the function is running.
• If you want to use salt, add it after the water reaches the boiling point.
• The function may not work properly for water kettles and espresso pots.
  Hob²Hood

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

IMPORTANT
Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
For induction cooking zones a strong electromagnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware material

• Correct: cast iron, steel, enameled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark from a manufacturer).
• Not correct: aluminum, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, or porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if …

• Some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• A magnet pulls onto the bottom of the cookware.

IMPORTANT
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible. Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit.

The noises during operation
If you can hear

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction.

If unfamiliar with induction units, please first compare the operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer before calling the service. If a service call is placed and the sounds are normal, you will be charged for the visit.

Energy-saving

your statutory rights.
ENVIRONMENT

•  If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware in a cooking zone before you start it.

Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood function

When you operate the hob with Hob2 Hood function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
• Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.
• Do not cover the hob panel.
• Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (for example with a hand or a cook handle).

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

CARE AND CLEANING

Care and cleaning

Clean the appliance after each use. Always use cookware with clean bottom.
IMPORTANT

Scratches or dark stains on the glass-ceramic have no effect on how the appliance operates.
To remove the dirt:

1. Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not, the dirt can cause damage to the appliance. Use a special scraper for the  glass. Put the scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
   Remove after the appliance is sufficiently cool:
   limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discolorations. Use a special cleaning agent for glass ceramic or stainless steel.

2. Clean the appliance with a moist cloth and some detergent.

3. At the end rub the appliance dry with a clean cloth.
