HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 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.

• To prevent overheating and improve the performance of the zones, the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.

• Ensure cookware bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.

• Always be careful no to slide or rub the cookware on the edges and corners of the glass as it may chip or damage the glass surface.
  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. Place the cookware in the centre of the selected cooking zone.

• The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. To ensure optimal heat transfer use cookware with diameter similar to the size of a given cooking zone, no larger and no smaller than recommended. To check the recommended cookware diameter refer to “Technical data” > “Cooking zones specification”.
  – Cookware with a diameter smaller than the declared minimum receives only part of the power generated by the cooking zone which results in slower heating.
  – 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”.
8.2 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.

8.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking operation.
8.4 Simplified cooking guide
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.

from time to time.
2| Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked eggs.| 10 – 40| Cook with a lid on.
2 – 3| Simmer rice and milk-based dishes, heat up ready-cooked meals.| 25 – 50| Add at least twice as much liquid as rice, mix milk dishes halfway through the procedure.

8.5 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
9.1 General information

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• For both daily cleaning of the glass surface and the post-installation cleaning and removal of any residual glue, use only a mildly abrasive cleaning milk and an anti-scratch, delicate sponge. Depending on the degree of soiling, clean the glass surface with small circular movements and moderate pressure. Wipe the glass surface dry with a microfibre cloth.

WARNING!
Do not use the classic yellow and green sponge as the aluminium particles on its hard layer may damage and discolour the glass.
Using cleaning tools different than the recommended ones will not be effective and may damage or discolour the glass surface.

• Always use a scraper recommended for hobs with a glass surface. Use the scraper only as an additional tool for cleaning the glass after the standard cleaning procedure.

WARNING!
Do not use knives or any other sharp, metal tools to clean the glass surface.
9.2 Cleaning the glass surface of the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, salt, 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 mildly abrasive cleaning milk and an anti-scratch, delicate sponge (see General information). After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a microfibre cloth.
• Persistent marks and stains: apply moderate pressure and scrub the surface with an anti-scratch, delicate sponge (see General information) and a mildly abrasive cleaning milk until the stains are no longer visible.
