8. Tips and hints
8.1 Cooking hob (conventional or glass ceramic)
· The hob is resistant to temperature changes. · Using the cooking hob surface
as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage to it. · Do not use
the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on
the hob, the
hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately
or only after a while. · If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately
cut off the power supply to the appliance. · Make sure the cooking zone and
the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better conduction of
heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface. · Do not place empty
cookware on the cooking zone, as this may result in damage.
WARNING! If sugar or food with high sugar content is spilled over a hot class
ceramic hob, immediately wipe the hob or remove the sugar with a scraper, even
if the cooking zone is still hot. This will prevent any damage to the class
ceramic surface. Do not use detergents and other cleaners to clean a hot glass
ceramic hob as this could damage the surface.
8.2 Induction cooking zone operating principle
Cooking on an induction hob differs from cooking on traditional appliances.
Induction hob uses magnetic field for generating heat and cooking. This means
that not all types of cookware can be used on an induction hob.
The cooking hob is fitted with highly efficient induction cooking zones. The
heat is generated directly in the bottom of the pan where it is needed the
most. This avoids any losses through the glass ceramic surface. Power
consumption is considerably lower than in conventional cooking zones with
radiation heaters. The glass ceramic cooking zone is not heated directly, but
only indirectly with the heat radiated back by the pan. After the cooking zone
is switched off, this residual heat is indicated by . In induction cooking
zones, heating is made possible by the induction coil installed under the
glass ceramic surface. The coil induces a magnetic field which generates eddy
currents in the bottom of a ferromagnetic pan, which in turn heats the pan.
The induction will work correctly if you use suitable cookware.
28
8.3 Induction cookware
The magnet test: Use a small magnet to check whether the pan or pot bottom is
ferromagnetic. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, then it is
suitable for an induction cooker.
Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone
For best cooking results, the ferromagnetic area on the cookware bottom should
match the size of the cooking zone. If the cooking zone does not recognize the
pan, try placing it on a different cooking zone with a smaller diameter.
Suitable cookware steel enamel-coated steel cast iron
Unsuitable cookware glass alloy steel with copper bottom alloy steel with aluminium bottom
· When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is
reached. First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the
pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions, decrease the cooking power when
appropriate.
· Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or
pan. Due to overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in
damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
· Some cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic bottom. In such case, only
the magnetic part will heat up, while the rest of the bottom will remain cool.
· When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cooking zone Ø 145 mm Ø 180 mm Ø 230 mm
Minimum pan bottom diameter Ø 90 mm Ø 110 mm Ø 110 mm

Pan bottom has to be flat.
.
8.4 Energy saving tips
· When purchasing cookware, consider that the diameter indicated on the pan
usually pertains to the upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than
the diameter of the pan bottom.
· If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there
is always sufficient liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is
placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat which in turn may lead to damage to
both the pot and the cooking zone.
· Whenever possible, cover the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use
cookware that fits the amount of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large
partly full pot will consume much more energy.
· Even if there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone or if the pan used has a
diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone, there will be
no losses of energy.
· If the pan is much smaller than the cooking zone, there is a possibility
that it will not be recognized by the cooking zone. When the cooking zone is
activated, the sign and the selected power level will flash alternately on the
cooking power display. If a suitable pan is placed on the induction cooking
zone within the next minute, the hob will recognize it and switch on with the
selected cooking power. As soon as the pan is removed from the cooking zone,
the power supply is cut off.
· If a smaller pan or pot is placed on the cooking zone and it is recognized,
the hob will only use as much power as necessary given the pan size.

9. Cleaning and maintenance
After each use, wait for the glass ceramic surface to cool down and clean it.
Otherwise, all remaining impurities will burn onto the hot surface the next
time you use the hob. For regular maintenance of the glass ceramic hob, use
special care products that create a protective film on the surface to prevent
the dirt from sticking onto it. Before each use of the glass ceramic surface,
wipe off the dust or any other impurities that could scratch the surface, from
both the hob and the pan bottom.
INFORMATION! Steel wool, coarse cleaning sponges, and abrasive powders may
scratch the surface. The surface may also be damaged by aggressive spray
cleaners and unsuitable liquid cleaners.
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive cleaners or cookware
with coarse or damaged bottom. Use a damp soft cloth to remove minor
impurities. Then, wipe the surface dry. Remove water stains with a mild
solution of vinegar. However, do not use this solution to wipe the frame (only
with some models) as it may lose its sheen. Do not use aggressive spray
cleaners or descaling agents. Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn
dirt. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to thoroughly remove
any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the glass
ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up. Remove stubborn and burnt
residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent
injury.
INFORMATION! The scraper is not included in appliance equipment.
INFORMATION! Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet cloth
or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces. Hold the scraper at the
correct angle (45° to 60°). Gently press the scraper against the glass and
slide it over the signage to remove the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of
the scraper (in some models) does not come into contact with a hot cooking
zone.
INFORMATION! Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against the glass and do
not scratch the hob surface with its tip or blade.
Immediately remove any sugar or sugar-laden food from the glass ceramic hob
using a scraper, even if the hob is still hot, as sugar may permanently damage
the glass ceramic surface.

10.1 Noises during induction cooking
Noises and sounds Cause
Solution
Inductiongenerated operating noise
Induction technology is based on the properties of some metals under electromagnetic effect. It results in so-called eddy currents that force the molecules to oscillate. These oscillations (vibrations) are transformed into heat. Depending on the type of metal, this could result in quiet noises.
This is normal and it is not a result of any malfunction.
Transformer-like buzz
Occurs when cooking at a high power level. The reason for this is the amount of energy transferred from the cooking hob to the pot or pan.
This noise will disappear or weaken when you reduce the power level.
Vibration and crackling of the cookware
This noise appears in cookware (pots or pans) made of different materials.
It results from vibrations along the adjacent surfaces of different material layers. This noise depends on the cookware. It can vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
Fan noise
Correct operation of induction electronic components requires temperature control. Therefore, the cooking hob is fitted with a fan that cools the electronics depending on the sensed temperature.
The fan may operate even after the cooking hob has been switched off, if the temperature remains too high.
