description
Installation variations
Depending on what you opted for when purchasing, the cooktop
extractor can be operated as an exhaust air or recirculation
model.
Exhaust air mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and
expelled into the open air via a duct system.
The exhaust air must not be expelled into:
XO
a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation
XO
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.
i
If the cooktop extractor is used in an exhaust air system,
the extractor power is automatically increased for the
first 20 seconds when set on a lower power level (wall
sleeve function).
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and an
activated charcoal filter and fed back into the room in which the
appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter must be
used. For hygiene and health reasons, this must be replaced at
the recommended intervals (see the Cleaning and maintenance
chapter).
i
In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation and
aeration to expel humidity.
EN
13
Appliance description
www.bora.com
4.3.2 Sensors
The cooktop extractor is equipped with sensors in the area of
the cover flap and the grease filter.
Cover flap position sensor
The cover flap sensor detects the position of the cover flap.
XO
If the cover flap is closed, the cooktop extractor is
deactivated.
XO
If the cover flap is open, the cooktop extractor can be used.
XO
If the cover flap has been removed, the cooktop extractor can
be used.
Grease filter position sensor
The grease filter sensor detects whether the grease filter has
been fitted correctly. If the grease filter is missing or has been
fitted incorrectly, the cooktop extractor is deactivated.
i
If the grease filter is removed, for example, for cleaning,
the cover flap can still be closed.
4.3.3 Interface for external devices
The internal interface can be used for extended control options.
This has a Home In and a Home Out contact (see the Installation
chapter).
XO
The Home In contact can be used for the signal input from
external switch devices (e.g. window contact switch).
XO
The Home Out contact can be used to control external
installations (e.g. electrically opening wall sleeves).
4.3.4 USB port for servicing
The system has a USB port for servicing. This port is only
suitable for mass storage devices (USB sticks). These USB sticks
must be formatted with the FAT32 data system.
i
The USB port is only designed for updates or data export
and only has sufficient power supply for these processes.
It is not possible to charge devices or carry out other
functions.

The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO

XX
Perform a magnet test if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The base of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature (exception:
wok cooktop PKIW3). Due to incorrect hob temperature
monitoring, this curvature may cause the cookware to
overheat. To avoid scratching the cooktop, the base of the
cookware must not have any sharp grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.

4.4.1 How induction cooktops work
(PKFI3, PKI3, PKIW3)
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.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
XX
Observe the minimum pot base diameter (see table 4.7).
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very
quick heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food,
slight adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level.
EN

Suitable cookware
i
The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for radiant heating
elements. The cookware used for radiant heating
surfaces must be metal and have good heat conducting
properties.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO
stainless steel, copper or aluminium
XO
enamelled steel
XO
cast iron
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The bottom of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature. Due to
incorrect hob temperature monitoring, this curvature may
cause the cookware to overheat. To avoid scratching the
cooktop, the base of the cookware must not have any sharp
grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
4.4.3 How the Tepan stainless steel grill PKT3
works
Under each grilling zone there is a heating element. When a
grilling zone is switched on, the heating element generates heat
that directly heats the grill surface.
Power adjustment and temperature ranges
The power is adjusted via temperature ranges that are shown in
the operating panel display in °C (temperature indicator).

Tab. 4.9 Tepan stainless steel grill temperatures
The power output of the Tepan stainless steel grill heats food
extremely quickly. A slight adjustment is needed in comparison
to conventional cooking systems when selecting the temperature
in order to avoid burning food.
Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when using
induction cooking zones, depending on the material and the
finish of the base:
XO
Humming may occur when using a high power level. This
decreases or disappears when the power level is decreased.
XO
Crackling or whistling may occur due to cookware bases being
made of different materials (e.g. sandwich base).
XO
Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures, especially at low power levels.
XO
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 appliance has been switched off.
4.4.2 How the Hyper and HiLight cooktops
work (PKC3, PKCB3, PKCH3)
Under the cooking zone is a radiant heating element with a
heating tape. When the cooking zone is switched on, the heating
tape generates radiant heat, which radiates to the cooking zone
and heats it up.

Recommendations for efficient vapour extraction
XX
In the case of tall cooking pots, place the lid on at an angle
so that the cooking vapours are guided towards the cooktop
extractor.
XX
Only operate the cooktop extractor at the minimum power
level required for effective vapour extraction. This enables
you to improve the performance of the odour filters in
recirculation mode.
XX
Only operate the hob at the minimum power level required
for cooking. This reduces the cooking vapours and the power
consumption.
XX
Avoid strong drafts.

XX
Heat the griddle to 220°C for approx. 25 minutes before
using it for the first time (both grilling zones).
i
Bothersome odours may be emitted during this process.
Operating instructions
i
The grilling zones should be preheated 5 minutes before
use.
i
During heating or cooling the griddle may make some
noise. This is a normal occurrence.
i
A fan is built in to the Tepan stainless steel grill for
cooling, guaranteeing a long service life for the electronic
components and rapid cooling of the grill surface.
Different measures have been taken to keep noise to a
minimum, but it cannot be completely avoided.
i
During use, the griddle may show signs of curvature.
i
During grilling or heating on a high power level, the
griddle may adopt a light brown colour.
6.5.3 Setting cooking zone power levels
The power levels are controlled by turning the knob ring to the
desired power level (electronic power adjustment).

10.1 BORA manufacturer’s warranty
BORA provides its end customers with a 2-year manufacturer’s
warranty for its products. The end customer is entitled to this
warranty in addition to the statutory claims for defects against
the sellers of our products.
The manufacturer’s warranty applies to all BORA products sold
by authorised BORA dealers or BORA-trained salespeople within
the European Union, with the exception of products labelled by
BORA as Universal products or accessories.
The manufacturer’s warranty starts as soon as the BORA
product is handed over to the end customer by an authorised
BORA dealer and is valid for 2 years. By registering on www.
bora.com/registration the end customer has the possibility of
extending the manufacturer’s warranty.
The manufacturer’s warranty requires expert (in accordance with
the valid BORA ventilation handbook and operating instructions
at the time of installation) installation of the BORA products by
an authorised BORA dealer. During use, the end customer is to
adhere to the specifications and instructions in the operating
manual.
In order to file a warranty claim, the end customer is to notify
their dealer or BORA of the fault and must present the receipt.
Alternatively, the end customer can provide proof of purchase by
registering on www.bora.com.
BORA guarantees that all BORA products are free from material
and product defects. The defect must exist prior to delivery of
the product to the end customer. In the event that a warranty
claim is filed, the warranty shall not commence anew.
BORA will correct defects in BORA products at its own discretion
by repairing or replacing the product. All costs for the correction
of defects under the manufacturer’s warranty shall be assumed
by BORA.
Expressly not covered by the BORA manufacturer’s warranty are:

service, however, they must cover the costs themselves.

warranty conditions.
