Hob
Glass ceramic cooking surface
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob, the
hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or only after
a while.
• If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut off the power supply to the appliance.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
• Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone. The cooking zone may be damaged if you
place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry
to allow conduction of heat.
Cooking power levels
Cooking zone heating power can be set to 10 different levels (depending on the model). The table
lists some examples of use for each level.

Energy saving tips
• When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the
upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
• If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sufficient
liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat
which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the amount
of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more energy.
Induction cooking zone operating principle
• The cooking hob is fitted with highly efficient induction cooking zones.
The heat is generated directly in the bottom of the pan where it is
needed the most. This avoids any losses through the glass ceramic
surface. Power consumption is considerably lower than in
conventional cooking zones with radiation heaters.
• The glass ceramic cooking zone is not heated directly, but only
indirectly with the heat radiated back by the pan. After the cooking
zone is switched off, this residual heat is indicated by "H".
9
• In induction cooking zones, heating is made possible by the induction
coil installed under the glass ceramic surface. The coil induces a
magnetic field which generates eddy currents in the bottom of a
ferromagnetic pan, which in turn heats the pan.
WARNING!
If sugar or food with high sugar content is spilled over a hot class ceramic hob, immediately wipe
the hob or remove the sugar with a scraper, even if the cooking zone is still hot. This will prevent
any damage to the class ceramic surface.
Do not use detergents and other cleaners to clean a hot glass ceramic hob as this could damage
the surface.
Pan recognition
• Even if there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone or if the pan used
has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone,
there will be no losses of energy.
• If the pan is much smaller than the cooking zone, there is a possibility
that it will not be recognized by the cooking zone. When the cooking
zone is activated, the sign and the selected power level will flash
alternately on the cooking power display.
• If a smaller pan or pot is placed on the cooking zone and it is
recognized, the hob will only use as much power as necessary given
the pan size.
Induction cookware
• The induction will work correctly if you use suitable cookware.
• Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone
• Suitable cookware: cookware made of steel, enamel-coated steel
pans, or cast iron pans.
• Unsuitable cookware: alloy steel cookware with copper or aluminium
bottom, and glass cookware.
• The magnet test: Use a small magnet to check whether the pan or
pot bottom is ferromagnetic. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of
the pan, then it is suitable for an induction cooker.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached. First, set the
cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker manufacturer's instructions,
decrease the cooking power when appropriate.
10
• Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to overheating,
using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the pot and the cooking
zone.
• Some cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic bottom. In such case, only the magnetic part
will heat up, while the rest of the bottom will remain cool.
• When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• For best cooking results, the ferromagnetic area on the cookware bottom should match the size
of the cooking zone. If the cooking zone does not recognize the pan, try placing it on a different
cooking zone with a smaller diameter.

Bridged cooking zone
(depending on the model)
• Some models allow combining two cooking zones on the left-hand side into a single large
connected cooking zone. Thus, a large oval pan or a griddle can be placed on the combined
cooking field. The pan has to be large enough to cover the centres of the upper and lower cooking
zone.
• Maximum pan size: 40 x 25 cm. For even heat distribution, we recommend using a heavy-bottom
baking dish or pan. During cooking, the dish or pan will heat up. Be careful to prevent burns.
• When placing the baking dish on the hob, make sure it does not cover the control module.
INFORMATION!
The pan should always cover the centre of the cooking zone!
Activating the bridged cooking zone
• Switch on the cooking hob by pressing the on/off sensor (A).
• Simultaneously touch the two sensors and hold them for 3 seconds
(H). The sign will appear on the display unit for the rear field to

zone.
14
INFORMATION!
The bridged cooking zone does not allow operation with a power boost; only power levels up to
9 are available.
Deactivating the bridged cooking zone
•
Set the power level of the combined cooking zone to "0". The sign will disappear and heating
will be switched off.
• Both cooking zones will operate independently.
Pan position recognition with automatic bridging of cooking
zones
(only with some models)
Pan position recognition is activated automatically 10 seconds after the appliance is switched on. If
there is a pan on the hob, the pan recognition function will recognize its position and automatically
bridge the cooking zones depending on the size of the pan. Two adjacent cooking zones can be
merged into a single large cooking zone.
The sign will appear on the display unit for the rear field to indicate
that the two cooking zones are bridged.
• Set the desired cooking power for the bridged cooking zone.
• To change the bridged zone's cooking power later on, use the (H)
or (I) key for the lower cooking zone.
INFORMATION!
The bridged zone does not allow the power boost setting P. Maximum available power level is
9.
Automatic pan position recognition can be activated at any time for 10 seconds by pressing the pan
recognition key (C3). Automatic pan recognition and automatic cooking zone bridging are only effective
on the cooking zones that are not yet activated. Bridging of cooking zones can be deactivated by
setting the power level to "0".
If there is no cookware on the cooking zone:
• Switch on the hob. All cooking zones are set to "0".
• Place the pan on any cooking zone. "0" starts to flash on the cooking zone with the pan. Cooking
zone power can be adjusted by pressing the (H) or (I) keys for the respective cooking zone. The

then continue with the next cooking zone.
During the first 10 seconds, automatic pan recognition can also be deactivated in user settings using
the "Au" parameter. See chapter User Settings.
The function can be used if the pan is already on the cooking hob or if the cooking hob is empty.
Power Boost
(depending on the model)
For rapid cooking, power boost can be activated on the cooking zones. This will allow you to rapidly
heat large amounts of food using extra power. The power boost is active for no more than 10 minutes;
then, the power level is automatically decreased to 9. If the cooking hob is not too hot, the power
boost can be reactivated for 10 minutes after it is switched off. To avoid overheating, the electronic
control function may automatically switch off the Power Boost earlier and decrease the power level

Cleaning and maintenance
After each use, wait for the glass ceramic surface to cool down and clean it. Otherwise, all remaining
impurities will burn onto the hot surface the next time you use the hob.
For regular maintenance of the glass ceramic hob, use special care products that create a protective
film on the surface to prevent the dirt from sticking onto it.
Before each use of the glass ceramic surface, wipe off the dust or any other impurities that could
scratch the surface, from both the hob and the pan bottom.
INFORMATION!
Steel wool, coarse cleaning sponges, and abrasive powders may scratch the surface. The surface
may also be damaged by aggressive spray cleaners and unsuitable liquid cleaners.
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive cleaners or cookware with coarse or damaged
bottom.
Use a damp soft cloth to remove minor impurities. Then, wipe the surface dry.
Remove water stains with a mild solution of vinegar. However, do not use this solution to wipe the
frame (only with some models) as it may lose its sheen. Do not use aggressive spray cleaners or
descaling agents.
Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn dirt. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Be
sure to thoroughly remove any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the
glass ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up.
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent
injury.
INFORMATION!
The scraper is not included in appliance equipment.
INFORMATION!
Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet cloth
or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces.
Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°). Gently press the
scraper against the glass and slide it over the signage to remove
the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of the scraper (in some
models) does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone.
INFORMATION!
Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against the glass and do not scratch the hob
surface with its tip or blade.
Immediately remove any sugar or sugar-laden food from the glass ceramic hob using a scraper, even
if the hob is still hot, as sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface.

Noises during induction cooking
SolutionCauseNoises and sounds
This is normal and it is not a
result of any malfunction.
Induction technology is based on the
properties of some metals under
electromagnetic effect. It results in so-called
eddy currents that force the molecules to
oscillate. These oscillations (vibrations) are
transformed into heat. Depending on the
type of metal, this could result in quiet
noises.
Inductiongenerated
operating noise
This noise will disappear or
weaken when you reduce
the power level.
Occurs when cooking at a high power level.
The reason for this is the amount of energy
transferred from the cooking hob to the pot
or pan.
Transformer-like buzz
It results from vibrations
along the adjacent surfaces
of different material layers.
This noise depends on the
cookware. It can vary
depending on the amount
and type of food being
cooked.
This noise appears in cookware (pots or
pans) made of different materials.
Vibration and
crackling of the
cookware
The fan may operate even
after the cooking hob has
been switched off, if the
temperature remains too
high.
Correct operation of induction electronic
components requires temperature control.
Therefore, the cooking hob is fitted with a
fan that cools the electronics depending on
the sensed temperature.
