3Environmental protection and energy-saving
Environmental protection and energy-saving
3.1Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.
3.2Saving energy
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.
Select a cookware diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone. Tip: Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is usually smaller. a The energy is targeted at the cookware.
If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.
Close cookware with a fitting lid. a Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.
Only lift the lid when necessary. a If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.
Use a glass lid. a If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware
without lifting the lid.
Use cookware with a solid flat bottom. a Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.
Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook. a Cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.
Cook with a small amount of water. a More water requires more energy to heat it up.
Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking. a For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.
Induction cooking
4Induction cooking
Induction cooking
4.1Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages: ¡ Saves time when boiling and frying. ¡ Saves energy. ¡ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn
on as quickly.

8

¡ Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction cooking zone stops the heat supply when you remove the cookware from the cooking zone without you having to switch it off first.
4.2Cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example: ¡ Enameled steel cookware ¡ Cast iron cookware ¡ Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for in-
duction cooking You can find additional information on which items of cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter.
The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully ferromagnetic: If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for cooking.
Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferromagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently.

Induction cookingen-us
¡ Clay ¡ Copper ¡ Aluminum
Composition of the cookware base The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy. You should preferably use cookware with a flat base because uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off.
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the “Automatic switch-off” function does not respond in good time and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, contact the technical after-sales service.
Cookware detection Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diameter of the pan base.
Automatic detection in the case of dual or triple cooking zones These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of the cookware, the cooking zone automatically adapts to the single, double or triple cooking zone in such a way that the corresponding power level is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result.

Unsuitable cookware Never use flow plates or cookware made of the following: ¡ Thin-walled normal steel ¡ Glass

function from activating correctly. Use a splatter guard to prevent fat from spitting out. ¡ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use temperature setting 1 or 2.

¡ Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are heating it.
¡ If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not activated correctly.
¡ If you are frying with a large amount of oil, always use the following cooking sensor functions: Deep-fat frying with a large amount of oil in a saucepan, set the temperature to 320 – 355° F (160 ­ 180 °C).

cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface. Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot.

CAUTION Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the glass scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.
Requirements ¡ The cooktop has cooled off. ¡ Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk and
tomato products immediately. “Cleaning recommendations”, Page 23
1. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper towel.
2. Rinse and dry. 3. If a smudge remains use white vinegar. 4. Rinse and dry again. 5. Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaner with a clean
paper towel or cloth and let it dry. 6. Buff the surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

11.2Noises

Question Why I can hear noises while I’m cooking?
Possible noises

Answer
¡ Noises may be generated while using the cooktop depending on the properties of the base of the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They do not indicate that there is a fault.
¡ A deep humming noise similar to a transformer: Occurs when cooking at a high power level. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when you reduce the power level.
¡ A quiet whistling noise: This can be heard when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when you add water or food to the cookware.
¡ Crackling: This noise occurs when the cookware is made from different multilayer materials, or if you use cookware of different sizes and different materials. The volume of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
¡ Loud whistling noises: These may arise if you are operating two cooking zones at the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling noises disappear or become quieter when you reduce the power level.
¡ Fan noises: The cooktop is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched the cooktop off if the temperature measured is still too high.
