· 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. Refer to “Technical data” > “Cooking zones specification” for correct cookware dimensions. Place the cookware in the centre of the selected cooking zone.
· The efficiency of a cooking zone is related to the diameter of the cookware. For optimal heat transfer use cookware with bottom diameter similar to the size of the cooking zone (i.e. the maximum cookware diameter value in “Technical data” > “Cooking zones specification”). ­ Cookware with a diameter smaller than the size of a given cooking zone 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
The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction. Cookware noises may vary depending on the cookware material and the power level.
Cookware-related noises: · cracking noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich construction). · whistling 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. Hob- related noises: · clicking: electric switching occurs. · hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. · rhythmic sound: cookware is detected.
8.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone deactivates before the countdown 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.

8.5 Hints and Tips for SenseFry function
The data in the table shows examples of food for each SenseFry level. The amount, thickness, quality, and temperature (e.g. frozen) of the food to be pan fried influence the set SenseFry level. Choose the heat

setting level based on the food type, your cooking preferences, and the cookware you use.

8.6 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 pictured below is for illustration purpose only.

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

with this function must have the symbol .

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
9.1 General information
· Clean the hob after each use.
46 ENGLISH

· Always use cookware with a clean base. · Scratches or dark stains on the surface
have no effect on how the hob operates. · Use a special cleaning agent suitable for
the surface of the hob. · 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 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 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.
