Working Theory
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, eicient, and economical cooking technology. It works by
electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating
the
glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
•
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•
Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. Touch Controls
•
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•
Each time a touch is registered, a beep sounds.
•
Make sure that the operating elements are always clean and dry and that no object (e.g. a
utensil or cloth) is placed on them. Even a thin film of water can make it difficult to operate
the controls.
4.2. Choosing
•
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
•
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
•
You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test.
Iron pot
magnetic circuit
Induced currents
ceramic glass plate
induction coil
11
•
Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for
induction.
•
If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
•
Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure
stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass,
wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
•
Cookware bases with aluminium content.
•
These reduce the ferromagnetic range, which means that less
energy is transferred to the cookware, resulting in this cookware not
being recognised sufficiently or not at all and therefore not being
heated sufficiently.
•
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
•
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, lies flat against the glass and is the same
size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is the same size as the graphic of the
selected zone. If you use a pan that is slightly larger, the energy will be used to the
maximum. If you use a smaller pan, the power may be lower than expected. Pots with a
diameter of less than 140 mm may not be recognised by the hob. Always place your pot in
the centre of the cooking zone.
•
Always lift pans of the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
12
4.3. Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are automatically adjusted to the diameter of the pan up to a certain limit.
However, the base of the pan must have a minimum diameter corresponding to the cooking zone.
To achieve the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone

5. QUICK START GUIDE
Be careful when deep-frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, especially when using
PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously, posing a
serious fire hazard.
Cooking Tips
•
When the food is boiling, reduce the temperature.
•
Using a lid shortens the cooking time and saves energy as it retains the heat.
•
Reduce the amount of liquid or fat to shorten the cooking time.
•
Start cooking at a high level and reduce the level when the food is cooked through.
Simmering, Cooking rice
•
Simmering takes place below the boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles occasionally
rise to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and delicate stews
because it allows the flavours to develop without overcooking the food. You should also
cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour below the boiling point.
•
For some cooking methods, such as cooking rice using the absorption method, it may be
necessary to set a higher setting than the lowest setting to ensure that the food is cooked
properly in the recommended time.
Searing Steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1. Leave the meat to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat a heavy frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and
then place the meat in the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time depends on the thickness
of the steak and how well done you want it. The time can vary between 2 and 8 minutes per
side. Press on the steak to check how cooked through it is – the firmer it feels, the better
cooked through it is.
5. Allow the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes before serving so that it can relax
and become tender.
For Stir-frying
1. Choose an induction-compatible flat wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and utensils ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If you are preparing
large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first, set aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When hot but still crisp, turn the heat down to low, return the meat
to the pan and add the sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently so that they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
20
Detection of Small Articles
If a pan of unsuitable size or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) or another small item (e.g. knife, fork,
key) is left on the cooktop, the hob automatically switches to standby after 1 minute. The fan continues
to work for another 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are only guidelines. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that
suit you best

6. PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Selection of Installation Equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the dimensions shown in the drawing.
A minimum clearance of 5 cm must be maintained around the hole for installation and use. Ensure
that the thickness of the work surface is at least 30 mm. Choose a heat-resistant and insulated
material for the work surface (wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic materials must not be used
as work surface material unless they are impregnated) to avoid electric shock and major
deformation due to heat radiation from the heating plate. As shown below:
Note
: The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop
should be at least 3mm.

Ensure that the induction hob is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. To
avoid accidental contact with the overheated bottom of the hob or an unforeseeable electric shock
during work, it is necessary to install a wooden insert fixed with screws at a minimum distance of 15
mm from the bottom of the hob. Observe the following requirements.
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. You need to ensure these holes are not
blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position
.
•
Make sure that the adhesive that bonds the plastic or wood material to the furniture
cannot withstand a temperature of less than 150°C to prevent the cladding from coming
loose.
•
The back panel, the adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to
withstand a temperature of 90°C.
Before Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
•
The work surface is rectangular and flat, and no structural elements interfere with the
space required.
•
The worktop is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•
If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
•
The installation must comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations.
•
A suitable disconnect switch, which allows complete disconnection from the electrical
supply, is integrated into the fixed wiring and is fitted and positioned to comply with local
wiring rules and regulations.
•
The disconnect switch shall be of an approved type and shall have a contact separation of
3 mm air gap in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if local wiring regulations
permit this deviation from the requirements).
•
The disconnect switch must be easily accessible to the customer when the hob is installed.
•
If in doubt, consult local building authorities and regulations for installation.
•
You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean surfaces (e.g. ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
around the hob.
After Installing the Hob, Make Sure That
•
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•

Flush-mount Installation Into The Worktop
Appliances without faceted edges or decorative frames, are suitable for flush mounting.
Installing the appliance
The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant countertop, such as a
countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or solid wood (the edges along the cut-out
have to be sealed). When installing into a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden sub-
frame should be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only be
installed into a countertop made of other materials after you have consulted the countertop
manufacturer and obtained his express approval. Internal dimension of the basic unit should be at least
equal to the internal cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance from the
countertop.
Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the glass panel.
First, feed the power cord through the cutout. Place the appliance over the center of the cutout.
Connect the appliance to the power mains (see instructions for connecting the appliance). Before
sealing the appliance, test its operation. Seal the slot between the appliance and the countertop
using
a silicone sealant. The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance has to be temperature-
resistant (to
at least 160 °C). Smooth out the silicone sealant using a suitable tool. Observe the
instructions for use
of the selected silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone
sealant has dried completely.
WARNING!
Pay particular attention to built-in dimensions with (natural) stone countertops. When choosing the
silicone sealant, observe the countertop material and consult the countertop manufacturer. Use of
inappropriate.
Removing the built-in appliance
Disconnect the appliance from the power mains. Use a suitable tool to remove the silicone gasket from
the perimeter. Remove the appliance by pushing it upwards from the bottom side.
