hPower manager
Po we r manager
You can use the power manager to set the total power
of the hob.
The hob is preset at the factory. Its maximum
performance is specified on the rating plate. You can
use the power manager to change the value in
accordance with the requirements for the relevant
electrical installation.
In order not to exceed this set value, the hob
automatically distributes the power available between
the cooking zones that are switched on.
As long as the power manager function is activated, the
output of a cooking zone may temporarily fall below the
nominal value. If a cooking zone is switched on and the
power limit is reached,
¬ appears in the heat setting
display for a short time. The appliance automatically
regulates and selects the highest possible power level.
For more information about how the total power of the
hob is changed, see section ~ "Basic settings"

Hob
Cleaning
Always clean the hob after cooking. This will prevent
food deposits from becoming burned on. Only clean the
hob after the residual heat indicator has gone out.
Clean the hob with a damp dish cloth and dry it with a
cloth or towel to prevent limescale build-up.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type
of hob. Observe the manufacturer's instructions on the
product packaging.
Never use:
■ Undiluted washing-up liquid
■ Cleaning agents designed for dishwashers
■ Abrasive cleaners
■ Harsh cleaning agents, such as oven spray and
limescale remover
■ Scouring pads
■ High-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
Stubborn dirt is best removed with a glass scraper,
available from retailers. Observe the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can obtain a suitable glass scraper from customer
services or through our online shop.
Using a special sponge for cleaning glass-ceramic
hobs achieves a great cleaning result.
Note: Do not use any cleaning agents while the hob is
still hot. This may mark the surface. Make sure that any
residue left by cleaning agents is removed.
Hob surround
To prevent damage to the hob surround, observe the
following instructions:
■ Only use warm soapy water
■ Wash new dish cloths thoroughly before use.
■ Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
■ Do not use a glass scraper or sharp objects.

Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induc-
tion technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at
the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter
when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have
switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
