7.14 Hob²Hood

It is an advanced automatic function which 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 on the basis of the mode setting and the temperature of the hottest pot on the hob.

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.

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. You can set the hob to activate only the light by selecting H1.

If you change the fan speed on the hood, the default connection with the hob is deactivated. To reactivate the function, turn both appliances OFF and ON again.

7.18 Power Management

If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones. The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.

  • Cooking zones are grouped according to the location and number of the phases in the hob. Each phase has a maximum electricity loading of 3680 W. If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power within one phase, the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.
  • The maximum heat setting is visible on the slider. Only the digits in white are active.
  • If a higher heat setting is not available reduce it for the other cooking zones first.

Refer to the illustration for possible combinations in which power can be distributed among the cooking zones.

8. 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.

  • The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
  • Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.
  • In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.

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.
  • 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 “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 Correct pans for Pan Fry function

Use only pans with flat bottom. To check if the pan is correct:

1. Put your pan upside down.
2. Put a ruler on the bottom of the pan.
3. Try to put a coin of 1, 2 or 5 Euro Cent (or with similar thickness) between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

a. The pan is incorrect if you can put the coin between the ruler and the pan.

b. The pan is correct if you cannot put the coin between the ruler and the pan.

8.3 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, the pot is detected after you place it on the hob.
  • hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.

8.4 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.

8.5 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 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.

8.6 Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood

When you operate the hob with the function:

  • Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
