Working Theory
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, eicient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in
the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass
becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
magnetic circuit Induced currents
Iron pot
ceramic glass plate induction coil
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
· Read this guide, taking special note of the `Safety Warnings’ section. ·
Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. Touch Controls
· The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. ·
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. · Each time a touch is registered, a
beep sounds. · Make sure that the operating elements are always clean and dry
and that no object (e.g. a
utensil or cloth) is placed on them. Even a thin film of water can make it
difficult to operate the controls.
4.2. Choosing
· Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. · Look for the
induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. · You can check
whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test.
11
· Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is
suitable for induction.
· If you do not have a magnet: 1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is
suitable.
· Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless
steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain,
ceramic, and earthenware.
· Cookware bases with aluminium content. · These reduce the ferromagnetic
range, which means that less
energy is transferred to the cookware, resulting in this cookware not being
recognised sufficiently or not at all and therefore not being heated
sufficiently.
· Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
· Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, lies flat against the glass
and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is the same
size as the graphic of the selected zone. If you use a pan that is slightly
larger, the energy will be used to the maximum. If you use a smaller pan, the
power may be lower than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than 140 mm may
not be recognised by the hob. Always place your pot in the centre of the
cooking zone.
· Always lift pans of the Induction hob do not slide, or they may scratch
the glass.
12
4.3. Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are automatically adjusted to the diameter of the pan up to
a certain limit. However, the base of the pan must have a minimum diameter
corresponding to the cooking zone. To achieve the best efficiency of your hob,
please place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone.

5. QUICK START GUIDE
Be careful when deep-frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, especially
when using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite
spontaneously, posing a serious fire hazard.
Cooking Tips
· When the food is boiling, reduce the temperature. · Using a lid shortens the
cooking time and saves energy as it retains the heat. · Reduce the amount of
liquid or fat to shorten the cooking time. · Start cooking at a high level and
reduce the level when the food is cooked through.
Simmering, Cooking rice · Simmering takes place below the boiling point, at
around 85°C, when bubbles occasionally rise to the surface of the cooking
liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and delicate stews because it allows
the flavours to develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook
egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour below the boiling point. ·
For some cooking methods, such as cooking rice using the absorption method, it
may be necessary to set a higher setting than the lowest setting to ensure
that the food is cooked properly in the recommended time.
Searing Steak To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1. Leave the meat to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before
cooking. 2. Heat a heavy frying pan. 3. Brush both sides of the steak with
oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and
then place the meat in the hot pan. 4. Turn the steak only once during
cooking. The exact cooking time depends on the thickness
of the steak and how well done you want it. The time can vary between 2 and 8
minutes per side. Press on the steak to check how cooked through it is the
firmer it feels, the better cooked through it is. 5. Allow the steak to rest
on a warm plate for a few minutes before serving so that it can relax and
become tender.
For Stir-frying 1. Choose an induction-compatible flat wok or a large frying
pan. 2. Have all the ingredients and utensils ready. Stir-frying should be
quick. If you are preparing large quantities, cook the food in several smaller
batches. 3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil. 4. Cook
the meat first, set aside and keep warm. 5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When hot
but still crisp, turn the heat down to low, return the meat to the pan and add
the sauce. 6. Stir the ingredients gently so that they are heated through. 7.
Serve immediately.

Detection of Small Articles
If a pan of unsuitable size or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) or another
small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) is left on the cooktop, the hob
automatically switches to standby after 1 minute. The fan continues to work
for another 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are only guidelines. The exact setting will depend on
several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking.
Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that suit you best.

Observe the following requirements.
Max. 5mm
Max. 5mm
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. You need to ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
· Make sure that the adhesive that bonds the plastic or wood material to the
furniture cannot withstand a temperature of less than 150°C to prevent the
cladding from coming loose.
· The back panel, the adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able
to withstand a temperature of 90°C.
Before Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
· The work surface is rectangular and flat, and no structural elements
interfere with the space required.
· The worktop is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material. · If the hob
is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan. · The
installation must comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and
regulations. · A suitable disconnect switch, which allows complete
disconnection from the electrical
supply, is integrated into the fixed wiring and is fitted and positioned to
comply with local wiring rules and regulations. · The disconnect switch shall
be of an approved type and shall have a contact separation of 3 mm air gap in
all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if local wiring regulations
permit this deviation from the requirements).
· The disconnect switch must be easily accessible to the customer when the hob
is installed. · If in doubt, consult local building authorities and
regulations for installation. · You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean
surfaces (e.g. ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
around the hob.
After Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
· The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
· There is a sufficient flow of fresh air from outside the cupboard to the

Flush-mount Installation Into The Worktop
Appliances without faceted edges or decorative frames, are suitable for flush
mounting.
Installing the appliance
The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant
countertop, such as a countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or
solid wood (the edges along the cut-out have to be sealed). When installing
into a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden subframe should
be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only
be installed into a countertop made of other materials after you have
consulted the countertop manufacturer and obtained his express approval.
Internal dimension of the basic unit should be at least equal to the internal
cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance from
the countertop. Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the
glass panel.
First, feed the power cord through the cutout. Place the appliance over the
center of the cutout. Connect the appliance to the power mains (see
instructions for connecting the appliance). Before sealing the appliance, test
its operation. Seal the slot between the appliance and the countertop using a
silicone sealant. The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance has to be
temperatureresistant (to at least 160 °C). Smooth out the silicone sealant
using a suitable tool. Observe the instructions for use of the selected
silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant
has dried completely.
