BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

FOR THE FIRST TIME

If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-

up liquid. Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause

scratches, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.

During initial use, characteristic "new appliance smell" may appear; it will gradually

disappear.

782821

INDUCTION COOKING SURFACE

GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE

- The hob is resistant to temperature changes.

- The hob is also impact-resistant.

- Using the glass ceramic hob 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.

- The cooking zone may be damaged if you place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan

onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry to allow conduction of heat.

COOKING POWER LEVELS

Cooking zone heat power can be set to ten different levels. The table lists some examples of

use for each level.

Level Purpose

0 Switched o , using the residual heat

1 - 2 Keeping the food warm, slow cooking of smaller amounts (lowest setting)

3 Slow cooking (follow-up cooking after the initial power boost)

4 - 5 Slow cooking (follow-up cooking) of large amounts, pan-roasting of larger chunks

6 Searing and browning

7 - 8 Searing

9 Cooking of large amounts, searing

Power boost setting for start of the cooking process; also suitable for very

large amounts of food

782821

POWER SAVING TIPS

- When purchasing cookware, note 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, close 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.

PAN RECOGNITION

- 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.

782821

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.

- 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 heat is indicated as »residual

heat«.

- 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.

INDUCTION COOKING ZONE OPERATING

PRINCIPLE

782821

- The induction will work correctly if you use suitable cookware.

- Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone.

- Suitable cookware: cookware made of steel, enamel-coated

steel pans, or cast iron pans.

- Unsuitable cookware: alloy steel cookware with copper or

aluminium bottom, and glass 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.

- 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.

- 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.

SWITCHING ON THE COOKING ZONES

There are a total of either 9 or 17 different power levels that can be selected. In case of 17

power levels, the dot on the display indicates a half step (e.g. 8. means 8.5, depending on

the model).

782821

AUTOMATIC RAPID HEATING

All cooking zones are fitted with a special mechanism that sets the cooking power to

maximum at the start of the cooking process, regardless of the actual power setting.

Automatic rapid heating function temporarily increases the operating power to quickly heat

up the pan bottom (9). After a while, the cooking zone power switches back to the initially set

level (1 to 8).

The auto rapid heating function is suitable for dishes that have to be heated up at maximum

power first, and then cooked for a longer period of time.

The auto rapid heating function is not suitable for braising, frying or sautéing, food that

requires frequent turning, basting, or mixing, or food that has to boil for a longer period of time

in a pressure cooker.

The hob is switched on and a suitable pan is

placed on one of the cooking zones.

The cooking zone should be off; "0"

should appear on the display unit.

Press the relevant (I) key and hold it for

approximately 3 seconds until you hear a

short beep.

"A" and "9" will flash alternately on the

display.

Decrease the power to the level you wish to

cook with after the automatic rapid heating.

zone by simultaneously pressing the (H) and (I) keys.

782821

BRIDGED COOKING ZONE (depending on the model)

• Some models allow combining two cooking zones into a single large connected cooking

zone. Thus, a large oval pan or a griddle can be placed on the combined cooking field.

The pan has to be large enough to cover the centres of the upper and lower cooking

zone.

• Maximum pan size: 40 x 25cm. For even heat distribution, we recommend using a

heavy-bottom baking dish or pan. During cooking, the dish or pan will heat up. Be

careful to prevent burns.

• When placing the baking dish on the hob, make sure it does not cover the control

module.

Activating the bridged cooking zone

recognition function will recognize its position

and automatically bridge the cooking zones

depending on the size of the pan. Two

adjacent cooking zones can be merged into a

single large cooking zone.

PAN POSITION RECOGNITION WITH AUTOMATIC BRIDGING OF

COOKING ZONES (Only with some models.)

782821

POWER ZONE WITH THE POWER BOOST

OPTION

In some models, a power boost can be activated on all cooking zones indicated with "P"

or "»". Power boost is not active for all cooking zones simultaneously. This allows faster

heating of both the cookware and the food.

The function allows temporary cooking at maximum power for up to 5 minutes. Then, the

operating power is automatically reduced to level 9. The function can be reactivated if the

system is not overheated.

- The hob is switched on and a suitable pan

is placed on one of the cooking zones.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The glass ceramic hob is also fitted with a residual heat display, "H". The glass ceramic

cooking zone is not heated directly, but only indirectly by the heat radiated back by

the pan. As long as the symbol "H" is lit up after the hob has been switched off, there

is residual heat in the cooking zone, which can be used to keep the food warm or for

defrosting. When the "H" sign disappears, the cooking zone may still be hot. Be careful as

there is danger of burns!

ABA1 H I I

782821

Touch the ON/OFF key (A) to switch off

the entire hob. The hob will beep and all

indicators will be switched off, except for

the indicators for the cooking zones that

indicator "H" will remain lit, warning that

the cooking zone is still hot.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENTIRE COOKING HOB

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF

If the keys are activated for too long during cooking (e.g. due to spilt liquid or an object

placed over the sensor keys), all cooking zones will be switched off after 10 seconds, and

the sign will appear on the display unit.

The object should be removed, or the spilt liquid should be cleaned, from the sensor keys

within 2 minutes; otherwise, the cooking hob will switch off automatically.

The most recent settings can be restored with the memory function using the STOP&GO

key (F).

MAXIMUM COOKING TIME

For safety, the cooking time for each cooking zone is restricted to a maximum duration.

Maximum cooking time depends on the most recently set power level.

03 on the display = maximum volume (default)

A short acoustic signal will be sounded upon every change, with the newly set volume.

782821

Acoustic alarm duration "So"

The following values can be set:

05 on the display = 5 seconds

1,0 on the display = 1 minute

2,0 on the display = 2 minutes (default)

Child safety lock "Lo"

If the automatic lock function is activated in the user settings mode, the cooking hob will

be automatically locked every time it is switched off.

00 on the display = off (default)

01 on the display = on

Pan position recognition with automatic cooking zone bridging »Au«

If the function of pan position recognition with automatic cooking zone bridging is

deactivated in the user settings mode, then the appliance will always be operated

manually (there will be no 10-second automatic pan recognition every time the appliance

is switched on).

0 on the display = off

1 on the display = on (default)

Total maximum power »Po«

If the electric installation in your home has different current limits, maximum power

consumption of the cooking hob can be reduced:

2.3 on the display unit = 2.3kW = 10A

2.8 on the display unit = 2.8 kW = 12 A

3.0 on the display unit = 3.0kW = 13A

3.7 on the display unit = 3.7kW = 16A

7.4 on the display unit = 7.4kW = 2 x 16A (preset)

If the power level is limited, the settings and the resulting cooking power can be

limited as well. The appliance is fitted with a power management system that makes sure

the effect of power limiting is minimal.

782821

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.

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.

Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet

cloth or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces.

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.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply and wait

for the appliance to cool down.

Children should not clean the appliance or perform maintenance

tasks without proper supervision.

782821

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.

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.

Any changes to the sheen of the graphic design elements or discolouration should not

be deemed as damage to the appliance, but rather a result of normal use of the cooking

hob. Such discolouration is most commonly a result of food residues burnt onto the

surface, or it may be caused by some cookware materials (such as aluminium or copper).

Such discolouration is very difficult to remove entirely.

Note: Discolouration and similar flaws only affect the appearance of the hob and do not

directly affect its function. Removing such flaws shall not be covered by the warranty.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE

NOISE AND ITS CAUSES DURING INDUCTION COOKING

Noises and sounds Cause Solution

Induction-

generated

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 which operates at varying

speed, depending on the perceived

temperature.

The fan may operate even

after the cooking hob has

been switched off, if the

temperature remains too

high.

782821

SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND ERROR DISPLAY

The cooking hob is fitted with overheating sensors. These sensors can automatically

switch off any cooking zone or the entire hob temporarily.

Error, possible cause, solution

• Continuous beep and

flashing on the display.

- Water spilt over sensor surface, or an object placed over the sensors.

Wipe the sensor surface.

• «F2« on the display

- Cooking zone has overheated. Wait for the cooking zone to cool down.

• »F« on the display

- This indicates that there has been an error during operation.

If an error occurs or if the error indicator "F" does not disappear,

disconnect the cooking hob from the power mains for a few

minutes (undo the fuse or switch off the main switch); then,

reconnect the hob to the power mains and switch on the main

switch key.

If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorized service

technician. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the

appliance shall not be covered by the warranty. In this case, the user will cover the cost of

repair.

Before the repair, disconnect the appliance from the power mains

(by removing the fuse or by removing the plug from the wall

outlet).

782821

- Use of solid wood corner trims on worktops behind the cooking zone is only allowed if

the clearance between the trim and the cooking hob is no smaller than indicated on the

installation plans.
