Depending on what you opted for when purchasing, the
cooktop extractor can be operated as an exhaust air or an
recirculating air version.
Exhaust mode
The air extracted from the cooktop is cleaned by the
stainless steel grease filter and released outside through
a duct system.
The exhaust air must not be expelled into:
a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation;
a shaft used for the aeration of rooms where
fireplaces are installed.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or exhaust
gas flue that is not in use, the installation must be checked
and approved by the responsible heating engineer.
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away by the cooktop is purified by the
stainless steel grease filter and an activated charcoal filter
and fed back into the room in which the appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in the recirculated air, an activated
charcoal filter must be used. For hygiene and health
reasons, the activated charcoal filter must be replaced
at the recommended intervals (see the Cleaning and
maintenance section).
INFO In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient
ventilation and aeration to expel humidity.
The activated charcoal filter is equipped with an
integrated fine filter. The filter in the activated charcoal
filter is made from special activated charcoal, which is
ideal for trapping cooking odours.

roaster.
You operate the device by touching the corresponding
sensor button with your finger. Keep the finger pressed
on the sensor button until you either hear an acoustic
signal or the display changes accordingly.
5.3 Functional principle of the
cooking zone
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 cookware used so that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
Observe the minimum pot base diameter.
The cooking zone does not work
if it is switched on without cookware or with
unsuitable cookware;
if the base diameter of the cookware is too small;
if the cookware is removed from a switched on
cooking zone.
A
v
will appear in the cooking zone indicator if cookware
that is unsuitable or too small is used.
5.3.1 Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in
the very quick heating up of cookware. A slight adjust-
ment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level in order to avoid
burning food.
Activity Power level
Melting of butter and chocolate, breaking up gelatine 1
Keeping sauces and soups warm, soaking rice 1-3
Cooking potatoes, pasta, soups, ragouts, steaming
fruit, vegetables and fish, defrosting food

Tab. 5.2 Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard
values.
Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is
recommended to either decrease or increase the power
level.
EN
17
Device description
www.bora.com
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.
5.4 Functional principle of the
cooktop extractor
5.4.1 Freely adjustable power control
The power levels are controlled using the central setting
field on the operating panel.

cooking zone cooking level used.
Function Power levels
Extractor level 4 4 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 P
Cooking level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 P
Tab. 5.6 Extraction performance and cooking level
If the power level of the cooking zones is changed,
the automatic cooktop extractor function adjusts the
cooktop extractor performance after a 30 second
delay.
Once the cooking session is complete, the automatic
after-run is activated.
5.3.6 Pause function
The cooking session can be temporarily interrupted.
I I
appears in the display.
The cooking session and set timer are interrupted
while the pause function is active.
The pause function is limited to a maximum duration of
10 minutes.
5.3.7 Timer functions
You can use 2 timer functions:
Short-time timer (egg timer), no automatic switching
off of a cooking zone.
Automatic cut-off for automatically switching off a
cooking zone.
5.3.8 Pan size recognition
The cooking zone does not work
if
v
is shown in the display;
if it is switched on without cookware or with
unsuitable cookware;
if the base diameter of the cookware is too small;
if the cookware is removed from a switched on
cooking zone.
After 10 minutes have passed without a pan being
detected, the cooking zone will switch off automatically.
5.3.9 Suitable cookware
INFO The heating and heat through time for the base
of the cookware as well as the cooking results
are significantly influenced by the structure and
material of the cookware.

6.6 Installing the exhaust air version
(BFIA)
INFO The state and regional laws and regulations
must be observed with regard to the exhaust
duct design. A sufficient air supply must be
ensured.
6.6.1 Operating the cooktop extractor with
a fireplace that depends on the air in
the room
Fireplaces that depend on the air in the room (e.g. gas,
oil, wood or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow water
heaters, instantaneous water heaters) draw in air from
the room in which they are installed and release the
exhaust fumes into the outside air via an exhaust system
(e.g. chimney).
If the cooktop extractor is used in exhaust mode, it draws
in air from the room in which it is installed as well as from
neighbouring rooms. If there is insufficient air supply, low
pressure will occur. Toxic gases could be drawn out of the
chimney or extraction ducting and back into the room.
Abb. 6.19 Exhaust air installation – not permitted
Abb. 6.20 Exhaust air installation – correct
If simultaneously operating both a fireplace and the
cooktop extractor in the same room, ensure that:
the maximum low pressure is 4 Pa (4 x 10–5 bar);
a safety device (e.g. window contact switch, low
pressure warning device) is used to ensure that a
sufficient supply of fresh air is guaranteed;
the exhaust air is not be ducted into a chimney that
is used for exhaust gases of devices operated with
gas or other combustibles;
the installation is checked and approved by an
authorised certified engineer (e.g. heating engineer).
EN
25
Installation
www.bora.com
The maximum exhaust air duct length is 6 m.
Planning instructions for the installation of the exhaust
air ducts are provided in the BORA ventilation handbook.
Preparing the back wall of the kitchen unit

7.5 Saving energy
Follow all of the energy-saving tips to use the cooktop
with integrated cooktop extractor in an energy-efficient
manner.
When purchasing cookware, pay attention to the
diameter of the base as the upper diameter of the pot
is usually specified. The diameter of the base is often
smaller.
Use pressure cookers. Due to the closed cooking
chamber and the overpressure, these save a great deal
of time and energy. The short cooking time also helps
preserve vitamins.
Make sure there is sufficient liquid in the pressure
cooker. An empty pot which is still being heated can
lead to overheating. This can damage both the cooking
zone and the pot.
If possible, always seal cookware using a suitable lid.
Choose a suitable size of cookware for the amount
of food you are cooking. A big pot that is barely filled
requires a lot of energy.

8 Cleaning and
maintenance
Observe all safety and warning information
(see Safety chapter).
Follow the enclosed manufacturer’s information.
Make sure that the cooktop and cooktop extractor
have been switched off completely and have cooled
down prior to the planned cleaning and maintenance
work to prevent injury (see the Operation chapter).
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity of the product
and optimal functioning.
Adhere to the following cleaning and maintenance
cycles:
Component Cleaning cycle
Operating panel Immediately after every soiling
Cooktop Immediately after every soiling every week
thoroughly with standard commercially
available glass ceramic cleaners
Cooktop extractor Weekly
Air inlet nozzle and
stainless steel grease
filter
After every time you prepare very greasy
foods; at least weekly, when the fan
level indicator =
F
by hand or in the
dishwashing machine (at a max. 65 °C);
Only clean the stainless steel surfaces in
the polishing direction!
Air guiding housing Clean every 6 months or when replacing
the activated charcoal filter

Tab. 8.1 Cleaning cycles
8.1 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.
You need a special glass ceramic panel scraper and
suitable cleaning agents to clean the cooktop.
Never use steam cleaners, abrasive sponges, scouring
pads, or chemically aggressive cleaning agents (e.g.
baking oven spray).
Make sure that the cleaning agent does not contain
any sand, soda, acids or chloride.
For air inlet nozzle and grease filter
Do not use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning
agents.
8.2 Maintaining the cooktop
Do not use the cooktop as a worktop or shelf.
Do not push or pull cookware across the cooktop.
Always lift pots and pans.
Keep the cooktop clean.
Remove any kind of soiling immediately.
Only use cookware which is suitable for glass ceramic
panels (see the Device description chapter)
8.3 Cleaning the cooktop
INFO When the cooktop extractor is switched on,
the air inlet nozzle is installed to ensure that no
small and light objects, such as cleaning wipes
made of fabrics or paper are sucked in.
Make sure that the cooktop is switched off (see
Operating chapter).
Wait until all cooking zones are cold.
Remove all coarse soiling and food residues from the
cooktop with a glass ceramic scraper.
Apply the cleaning agent onto the cold cooktop.
Rub the cleaning agent with a paper towel or a clean cloth.
Wipe off the cooktop while wet.
Rub the cooktop dry with a clean cloth.
When the cooktop is hot:
Immediately remove molten residues of plastic,
aluminium film, sugar or foods containing sugar with
a glass ceramic scraper from the hot cooking zone to
prevent burning them in.
Special soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (limescale stains, pearly
shimmering stains) are best to be removed if the
cooktop is still warm.
Soften dried dirt residues using a damp cloth.
Remove dirt residues with the glass ceramic scraper.
Always remove grains, crumbs or the like which fall
onto the cooktop during general cooking work right
away to prevent the surface from being scratched.
Coloured changes and shiny surfaces are not cooktop
damage. They do not impact on the function of the
cooktop and the stability of the glass ceramic.
Discolourations to the cooktop arise from residues which
are not removed and have been burnt in.
Glossy spots are caused by the abrasion of the pot base,
especially when using cooking utensils with aluminium
bases, or by unsuitable cleaning agents. They are very
hard to remove.
