Safety
DANGER OF FIRE!
• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
• WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision
can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
NOTE!
• CAUTION! The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the
appliance off and then cover the flames with for example a lid or a
fire blanket.
If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the installation
instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this should not be used
to store highly flammable objects/materials. Ensure that there is
adequate clearance of a few centimetres between the bottom of the
hob and the contents of any drawers.
Always provide adequate ventilation!
The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
This appliance is only designed for household use.
Do not use this appliance as a space heater.
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the
appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may
accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects
could melt, become hot or catch fire.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote control system.
5
Safety
Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning the appliance. Only clean
the appliance when switched off. The steam of a steam cleaner could
reach the conducting parts and cause an electrical short.
The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable.
For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it
to break.
If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a fault,
we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug from
the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s waste
disposal site.
The cooking zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and
immediately after cooking.
Induction use
• Metal objects or objects containing metal, such as knives, forks,
spoons, and lids, should not be placed on the hob surface, as
they can get hot.
• When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking and never place products
packaged in aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt
and irreparably damage your device.
Safe use
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the
appliance.
• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to
explode. You might get injured or scalded.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal.
If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.
• Never open the casing of the appliance.
6
Safety
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process will stop automatically. Get into
the habit of switching off the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching on
the appliance.
• After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t rely only on the pan detector.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating time will be very short. Do not
leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a high setting.
Temperature safety induction zones
• The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking.
The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
• The induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking
zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
If a cooking zone is switched on for an unusually long time, it will be switched off automatically.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
The cooking zone switches off automatically
after:
Setting
9 hours1 and 2
5 hours3, 4 and 5
4 hours6, 7 and 8

Your induction hob
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very
rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling
over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and
the handles stay cool.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a
large zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower and
it will take longer before the food comes to the boil.
right
wrong
INFORMATION!
• Grains of sand, salt, or sugar may cause scratches that are
impossible to remove. Therefore, only put pans with a clean
base on the cooking surface, and always pick pans up to move
them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
Operation of the touch keys and sliders
• The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with
any other objects.
• The cooking hob is operated by a slider. You can either touch the selected part of the slider or
move over the slider to increase or decrease the power.
• To set the cooking zone power level, touch the desired spot on the slider. As you touch the slider,
the selected power level will appear on the cooking zone display unit.
• Do not use any objects to operate the slider.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate
directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil is very quick.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves,
food spills are unlikely to burn into the glass.
14
Use
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This means
that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
Depending on the hob model, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several cooking zones
are switched on simultaneously, the available capacity is shared automatically between them.
When the maximum capacity of the combination of cooking levels is reached during setting, one or
more zones are automatically reduced to the highest possible setting at that moment. This is indicated
by the flashing of the relevant control element.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an
induction hob.
Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
• a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
• a flat base.
TIP!
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if the
base of the pan is sufficiently attracted by the magnet.

Use
WARNING!
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel) if you switch the hob on at a
high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp, for example as a result of overheating;
• heat enamelled pans slowly.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation
of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the
glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling
dry is excluded from the guarantee.
The diameter of the pan
The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least the value prescribed in below table.
Minimum pan bottom diameterCooking zone
ø 110 mmø 180 mm
ø 145 mmø 210 mm
ø 145 mm190 x 210 mm
ø 145 mmø 260 mm
NOTE!
You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone. If a pan is
too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the
pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops
cooking immediately.
Pan detection
The hob automatically detects whether a suitable pot is on a cooking zone. If the hob is empty, the
cooking zone is selected for the first pot placed and the cooking zone display lights up automatically.
If there are further pots, the cooking zone display must then be selected manually.
Integrated pan recognition
If a certain power level is set for a cooking zone and there is no (suitable) pan on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone will not deliver any power. After a certain period, the cooking zone will switch off
automatically.
16
Use
Induction sounds
• Ticking sound
This sound can be caused at lower power level settings or by the automatic pot detection.
• Pan makes sounds
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob
to the pan. At high settings, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the
pans or the hob.
• Ventilator makes sounds
To increase the lifespan and performance of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with
fans. During intense appliance use, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance, and you will
hear a buzzing sound. The fan still runs for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Dynamic Slide
The slider has more elements than, for example, cooking levels need to be displayed. As a result,
the slider can be used in different positions. When controlling the leftmost cooking zone(s), the left
12 elements are in use, while the remaining elements are not visible. When controlling the middle
cooking zone(s), the inner 12 elements are in use, and when controlling the rightmost one, the 12
elements are counted from the right. If the dynamic slider is switched off (see chapter ‘Settings’), all
cooking zones are controlled using only the inner 12 elements (central slider).
The slider is also used to set the extraction or lighting of a paired extractor hood. When the extractor
is selected, the inner 4/5 elements are used as the slider for the extractor.
The slider can also be used to set the timer. Slide from the left to the right to set a time. Swiping
across the slider can be used to speed up the setting in some cases.
17

3. To deactivate the boost for the selected cooking zone, again touch level 12 on the slider.
NOTE!
To avoid overheating, the electronic control system may automatically deactivate boost prematurely
and decrease the power level to 12.
Bridge Induction zone
The Bridge Induction zones (the front and rear) can be linked together. This creates one large zone
that can be used, for example, for a large fish pan or various pans at the same power.
• Pan position recognition is activated automatically after the appliance is switched on. When a
pan is placed on the hob, the pan recognition function recognizes its position and automatically
bridges the cooking zones depending on the size of the pan (only if the hob was already switched
on).
• If the Bridge Induction zones are linked, the grill temperature (from the Plus menu function
‘Grilling’) can be used.
• Use a (fish) pan covering at least the middle of the Bridge Induction zones.
Connecting Bridge Induction zones
1. Place a large pan on both cooking zones so that both zones are well covered.
•
The zones are linked automatically if the brd (auto-connecting) function is active (consult
chapter ‘Settings’).
2. Touch simultaneously the cooking zone keys of the front and rear cooking zones.
20
Operation
• The power level or temperatures are displayed simultaneously on both connected cooking
zones.
3. Use the slider of the front cooking zone to set the desired cooking setting for the linked cooking
zones.
4. Touch both cooking zone keys again to unlink the cooking zones.
5
+
Induction cooking zone
The '5 + Induction' cooking zone can be used as a single or extended cooking zone when a large
(oval) pan is placed on it. The zone then works as two linked Bridge induction cooking zones.
The extended cooking zone cannot be switched on manually. Large cookware (e.g., grill plate) is
automatically recognized within seconds, and the '5+ Induction' extended zone is switched on.
After symbol appears, a power level can be set. If a power level is set before the symbol appears,
then only the power level for the single cooking zone is set.
The '5+ Induction' extended cooking zone is only activated by pan recognition. It cannot be switched
on manually.
Cooking with the PLUS menu
The PLUS menu allows cooking with semi-automatic programs, enabling temperature cooking for
all kinds of cookware that fit the program's purpose.
The automatic cooking programs, up to 100-degree program, operate based on temperature
measurements, which means heating times may vary depending on the amount in your pan. For
optimal performance, choose a cooking zone equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of your
pan base. The following quantities per pan base diameter are recommended for the best performance:
160 mm (1 litre), 200 mm (2 litres), and 240 mm (3 litres). You can also use other quantities, but
remember that this may affect performance.
1. Touch the PLUS programs key to select the program: keeping warm/heating up and grill.
2. Use the slider to select a plus program temperature (see table).
• Heating up/keeping warm indicator lights up.
• At a selected temperature above 100 °C, the 'frying' indication comes on.
When the program or temperature selection does not change for 3 seconds, the program is activated.
To deactivate a PLUS program, press the active cooking zone key for about three seconds or select
a power level manually.
For certain programmes, such as Heating up/keeping warm and Frying, confirmation is required
after the heating phase ends and the food has been added. When the set temperature and the PLUS
programme icon are flashing and an audible signal sounds, add the food to the pan. Then confirm
by pressing the temperature indicator within 2 minutes. From that point on, the programme will
maintain a constant temperature.
21
Operation
The hob is equipped with a power limiter. If the total power of operating cooking zones exceeds the
maximum available amount of power, the power is automatically reduced. The display of the cooking
zone who is being reduced in its power is first flashing; the level is then automatically reduced to
the highest available power.
NOTE!
Always add water, a little oil or butter before starting a programme; never use an empty pan or
pot.

Cleaning glass top
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.
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.
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.
34
Maintenance
TIP!
Activate the child lock before cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you clean the hob
immediately after use.
• For daily cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent is best.
• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent, washing-up liquid, for example.
• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.
• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special products are
available for this.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar are also best removed with
a glass scraper.
NOTE!
• Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and limescale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
TIP!
Consult the website for additional maintenance and cleaning instructions!

Installation
Lower cabinet with an oven
• Only install ovens with a cooling fan under
the induction hob. Before installing the
oven, the kitchen cabinet rear wall has to
be removed in the area of the opening for
installation.
• If other appliances are installed under the
induction cooking hob, we cannot
guarantee their correct operation.
NOTE!
* For optimal hob performance, a ventilation gap of ≥6 mm is advised.
Flush-mount
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.
Install the appliance (see ‘Installation’) and connect the appliance to the mains power supply (see
instructions for connecting the appliance). Test the operation of the appliance before applying the
seal. Seal the groove between the appliance and the kitchen worktop with a silicone sealant.
The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance must be temperature-resistant (to at least 160 °C).
Smooth out the silicone sealant using suitable tools. Observe the instructions for use of the selected
silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant has dried completely.
1. Silicone sealant, 2. Sealing tape
NOTE!
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 silicone sealants can result in permanent discolouration of some parts.
