Measure Monitor the cooking process. Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean
the hob when it is cold. When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects
fall onto the hob. Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it. Do
not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Never use frozen cookware.
Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. Do not place
greaseproof paper or aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the
hob. Never place hot cookware on these areas.
ATTENTION! A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is

3.1Disposing 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 instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Select
the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the
hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It
is often larger than the base diameter. ¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely
covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids. ¡
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible. ¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of
energy escapes.
Use a glass lid. ¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. ¡ Uneven bases
increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. ¡ Large items of
cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. ¡ The more water that
is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level
early on. ¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found
on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your
appliance.
4 Suitable cookware Suitablecookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.
4.1Size and characteristics of the cookware
To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be
perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is
suitable. Refer to “Cookware test”, Page 9 for more details.
Cookware Recommended cookware Suitable
Not suitable
Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the
heat well. Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or
special induction cookware made of stainless steel. The base is not fully
ferromagnetic.
Cookware bases that contain aluminium.
Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and
ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware distributes the heat
evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the
area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed
evenly. These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that
less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently
detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat
sufficiently.
Notes ¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware.
¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

5.1Cooking with induction
In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a
series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when
cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and
care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly
in the cookware.
5.2Control panel
On certain models, specific details such as the colour and shape may differ
from those pictured.
¡ Do not place any cookware near the indicators or sensors. The electronics
may overheat.
5.3Distribution of the cooking zones
The specified power has been measured with the standard pots, which are
described in IEC/EN 60335-2-6. The power may vary depending on the size of the
cookware or cookware material.
