8. Tips and hints
8.1 Cooking hob (conventional or glass ceramic)
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Using the cooking hob surface as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage to it.
• 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, as this may result in damage.
WARNING!
If sugar or food with high sugar content is spilled over a hot glass 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 glass ceramic surface.
Do not use detergents and other cleaners to clean a hot glass ceramic hob as this could damage
the surface.
8.2 Induction cooking zone operating principle
Cooking on an induction hob differs from cooking on traditional appliances. Induction hob uses
magnetic field for generating heat and cooking. This means that not all types of cookware can be
used on an induction hob.
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 .
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.
The induction will work correctly if you use suitable cookware.
30
8.3 Induction 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.
Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone
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.
Unsuitable cookwareSuitable cookware

• 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.
• 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 the 300/180 cooking zone, the outer cooking zone automatically activates if the ferromagnetic
base diameter is larger than the diameter of the inner cooking zone.

Pan bottom has to be flat.
.
8.4 Energy saving tips
• When purchasing cookware, consider 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, cover 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.
• 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 suitable pan is placed on the induction
cooking zone within the next minute, the hob will recognize it and switch on with the selected
cooking power. As soon as the pan is removed from the cooking zone, the power supply is cut
off.
• 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.

9. 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.

10.1 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.
