• For cooking zones that have reduced power, the control panel shows the maximum possible heat settings.
• If a higher heat setting is not available reduce it for the other cooking zones first.
• The activation of the function depends on the number and size of pots.
• Refer to the illustration for possible combinations in which power can be distributed among the cooking zones.

Hob²Hood

It is an advanced automatic function that connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infrared signal communicator. The speed of the fan is defined automatically based on the mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually. For most of the hoods, the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to the hood user manual.

Operating the function automatically

• To operate the function automatically set the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob.
• The hob recognizes the temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.

Activating the light

• You can set the hob to activate the light automatically whenever you activate the hob. To do so set the automatic mode to H1 – H6.
• The light on the hood deactivates 2 minutes after deactivating the hob.

Automatic modes

1. The hob detects the boiling process and activates the fan speed by the automatic mode.
2. The hob detects the frying process and activates the fan speed the automatic mode.
3. This mode activates the fan and the light and does not rely on the temperature.

• This deactivates the automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually.
• When you press , you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level and press again, you set the fan speed to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with the fan speed 1 touch .
• To activate an automatic operation of the function, deactivate the hob and activate it again.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to the Safety chapters.

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.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing them on the hob surface.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass. Cookware material
  • correct: cast iron, steel, enameled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
  • not correct: aluminum, 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 onto the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware dimensions

• Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in the “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”.

The 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.

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.

Examples of cooking applications

• 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 in the consumption of power.
• It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than half of its power.
• The data in the table is for guidance only.

Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood

• When you operate the hob with the function:
  • Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
  • Do not spot the 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 in the picture is only exemplary.
  • Other remotely controlled appliances may block the signal. Do not use any such appliances near to the hob while Hob²Hood is on.
• Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood function
  • To find the full range of cooker hoods that work with this function refer to our consumer website. The AEG cooker hoods that work with this function must have the symbol .

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to the Safety chapters.
General information

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface do not affect how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.

Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, 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.
