4.3 Functional principle
An induction coil is located underneath an induction
cooking zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the
base of the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is
only indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.
Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware
has a magnetisable base.
The induction automatically takes into account the size of
the used cookware which means that only the area in the
cooking zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
Observe the minimum pot base diameter.

Suitable cookware is made of:
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
enamelled steel
cast iron
Cooking zone Minimum diameter
front back 120 mm
120 mm
Tab. 4.5 Minimum cookware diameter
Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks
to the base of the utensils, they are normally induction
compatible.
Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may occur. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when
using induction cooking zones, depending on the material
and the finish of the base:
Humming may occur when using a high power level.
It decreases or disappears if the power level
is decreased.
Crackling or whistling may occur due to the
bases of cookware made of different materials
(e.g. sandwich base).
Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures especially at low power levels.
Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched
on. In order to increase the service life of the
electronic system, the cooktop is equipped with a
cooling fan. The cooling fan switches on automatically
if the cooktop is used intensively. You will hear a
whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue running
after the device has been switched off.

Cleaning and Maintenance
www.bora.com
7 Cleaning and
Maintenance
Observe all safety and warning information (see the
Safety chapter).
Follow the enclosed manufacturer’s information.
When conducting scheduled cleaning and
maintenance, ensure that the cooktop and cooktop
extractor are fully switched off and cooled so as to
prevent injury (see the Operation chapter).
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures long
service life of the product and optimal function.
Adhere to the following cleaning and maintenance
cycles:
Component Cleaning cycle
Control knob immediately after soiling with
conventional detergents
Cooktop
Tab. 7.1 Cleaning cycles
7.1 Cleaning agents
INFO Due to the use of aggressive cleaning agents and
abrasion caused by the pot bases the surface will
become damaged and dark stains will occur.
To clean the cooktop, you need a special glass ceramic
scraper and suitable cleaning agents.
Never use steam cleaners, abrasive sponges, scouring
pads or chemically aggressive cleaning agents (e.g.
oven cleaner spray).
Make sure that the cleaning agent does not contain
any sand, soda, acids, lyes or chloride.
7.2 Looking after the cooktop
Never use the cooktop as a work or storage surface.
Do not push or pull cookware over the cooktop.
Always lift pots and pans.
Keep the cooktop clean.
Remove any dirt immediately.
Only use cookware suitable for glass ceramic cooktops
(see Appliance description chapter).
7.3 Cleaning the cooktop
Make sure that the cooktop is switched off (see the
Operation chapter).
Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
Remove all coarse dirt and food residues from the
cooktop using a glass ceramic scraper.
Apply the cleaning agent to the cold cooktop.
Spread the cleaning agent using kitchen roll or a clean
cloth.
Wipe the cooktop clean with a damp cloth.
Dry the cooktop with a clean cloth.
If the cooktop is hot:
Remove stubborn residues of plastic, aluminium foil,
sugar or sweet dishes from the hot cooking zone
immediately using a glass ceramic scraper to prevent
burning.
Heavy soiling
Remove heavy soiling and marks (limescale marks,
mother-of-pearl-like shiny marks) using cleaning
products while the cooktop is still warm.
Wipe off food that boils over with a damp cloth.
Remove any remaining dirt with the glass ceramic
scraper.
Always remove any seeds, crumbs or similar that fall onto
the cooktop during cooking immediately to prevent the
surface getting scratched.
Any changes in colour or glossy spots are not damage to
the cooktops. They do not affect the functionality of the
cooktop or the stability of the glass ceramic panel.
Changes in the colour of the cooktop are the result of
residues which have not been removed and have burnt
on.
Glossy spots are the result of wear by the pan base,
especially if aluminium-based cookware or unsuitable
cleaning agents are used. These are difficult to remove.
