Safety en

If you wear an active implantable medical

device (e.g. a pacemaker or defibrillator),

check with your doctor that it complies with

Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20th June

1990, EN 45502-2-1 and EN 45502-2-2, and

that it has been chosen, implanted and pro-

grammed in accordance with VDE-AR-E

2750-10. If these conditions are satisfied, and

if, in addition, non-metal cooking utensils and

cookware with non-metal handles are used, it

is safe to use this induction hob as intended.

1.3 Restriction on user group

This appliance may be used by children aged

8 or over and by people who have reduced

physical, sensory or mental abilities or inad-

equate experience and/or knowledge,

provided that they are supervised or have

been instructed on how to use the appliance

safely and have understood the resulting

dangers.

Do not let children play with the appliance.

Children must not perform cleaning or user

maintenance unless they are at least 15 years

old and are being supervised.

Keep children under the age of 8 years away

from the appliance and power cable.

1.4 Safe use

WARNING‒Risk of suffocation!

Children may breathe in or swallow small

parts, causing them to suffocate.

▶ Keep small parts away from children.

▶ Do not let children play with small parts.

Children may put packaging material over

their heads or wrap themselves up in it and

suffocate.

▶ Keep packaging material away from chil-

dren.

▶ Do not let children play with packaging ma-

terial.

WARNING‒Risk of poisoning!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being

drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro-

ducing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-

operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or

water heaters) obtain combustion air from the

room in which they are installed and dis-

charge the exhaust gases into the open

through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-

ney). With the extractor hood switched on, air

is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent

rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the

air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.

Toxic gases from the chimney or the extrac-

tion shaft are sucked back into the living

space.

▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the

room if the appliance is being operated in

exhaust air mode at the same time as a

room-air-dependent heat-producing appli-

ance is being operated.

▶ It is only possible to safely operate the ap-

pliance if the pressure in the room in which

the heating appliance is installed does not

fall below 4Pa(0.04mbar). This can be

achieved whenever the air needed for com-

bustion is able to enter through openings

that cannot be sealed, for example in

doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall

boxes or by other technical means. An in-

coming/exhaust air wall box alone is not

sufficient to ensure compliance with the

limit.

▶ In any case, consult your responsible chim-

ney sweep. They are able to assess the

house's entire ventilation setup and will

suggest the suitable ventilation measures

to you.

▶ Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-

pliance is operated exclusively in circulat-

ing-air mode.

Avoiding material damage

2 Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage Cause Measure

Stains Unsupervised cooking process. Monitor the cooking process.

Stains, blisters Spilled food, especially food with a high

sugar content.

Remove immediately with a glass scraper.

Stains, blisters or

fractures in the glass

Defective cookware, cookware with melted

enamel or cookware with copper or alu-

minium base.

Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-

dition.

Stains, discolouration Unsuitable cleaning methods. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for

glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when

it is cold.

Blisters or fractures in

the glass

Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-

cessories or other hard or pointed objects.

When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-

jects fall onto the hob.

Scratches, discolour-

ation

Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-

ware on the hob.

Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when

moving it.

Scratches Salt, sugar or sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or

storage space.

Scratches Material residue between the hob and the

rotary knob.

Keep the rotary knob contact area clean.

Damage to the appli-

ance

Cooking with frozen cookware. Never use frozen cookware.

Damage to the cook-

ware or the appliance

Cooking without contents. Never place or heat empty cookware on a

hot cooking zone.

Glass damage Melted material on the hot cooking zone or

hot pot lid on the glass.

en Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-

ible and can be recycled.

▶

Sort the individual components by type and dispose

of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use

less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your

pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-

meter as the hotplate.

Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper

diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the

base diameter.

Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-

ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more

energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

Use a glass lid.

You can see into the pan through a glass lid

without having to lift it.

Use pots and pans with flat bases.

Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.

Large items of cookware containing little food need

more energy to heat up.

Cook with only a little water.

The more water that is contained in the cookware,

the more energy is required to heat it up.

Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suit-

able ongoing power level.

If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,

you will waste energy.

Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-

duced during cooking.

The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-

sumed.

If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a

higher fan speed in good time.

The odours are distributed around the room less.

Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cook-

ing.

The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer

operating noises.

Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.

The effectiveness of the filter is retained.

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be

found on the attached appliance pass and online on

the product page for your appliance.

Suitable cookware

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must

have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by

a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking

zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next

smallest diameter.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must

take the size and the material of the cookware into con-

sideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat

and smooth.

Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is

suitable. Refer to

→"Cookware test", Page20 for more details.

Cookware Materials Properties

Recommended cook-

ware

Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich

design that distributes the heat well.

This cookware distributes the heat evenly,

heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be

detected easily.

Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled

steel, cast iron or special induction cookware

made of stainless steel.

This cookware distributes the heat evenly,

heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be

detected.

Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the

base of the cookware, only the area that is

ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat

is not distributed evenly.

Suitable cookware en

Cookware bases that contain aluminium. These cookware bases reduce the ferromag-

netic area, which means that less power is

emitted to the cookware. This cookware may

not be sufficiently detected or may not be de-

tected at all, and therefore does not heat suf-

ficiently.

Not suitable Cookware made from normal thin steel,

glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes

¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the

cookware.

¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use

cookware with a thin base, as this may become very

hot.

ters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

Before using for the first time en

The air must not be discharged into a

flue that is used for exhausting fumes

from appliances burning gas or other

fuels (not applicable to appliances that

only discharge the air back into the

room).

¡ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed

into a non-functioning smoke or ex-

haust gas flue, you must obtain the

consent of the heating engineer re-

sponsible.

¡ If the exhaust air is conveyed

through the external wall, a tele-

scopic duct should be used.

8.2 Air recirculation
