Avoiding material damage2 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 frac-
tures 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 condi-
tion.
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, discoloura-
tion
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 stor-
age space.
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.
Do not place greaseproof paper or aluminium
foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the
hob.
Overheating Hot cookware on the control panel or on the
frame.
Never place hot cookware on these areas.
ATTENTION
A fan is located on the underside of this hob.
If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob, do
not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea
towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and
damage the fan or impair the cooling.
There must be a clearance of at least 2cm between
the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.
Environmental protection and saving energy3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
4
Suitable cookware en
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 dia-
meter 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.
Using 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 there is in the cookware, the more
energy that is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Suitable cookware4 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 cook-
ing zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking
zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smal-
lest 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 consideration.
All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.
Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable.
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 fer-
romagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is
not distributed evenly.
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 suffi-
ciently.
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.

fryingSensor16 fryingSensor
Suitable for cooking or reducing sauces, pancakes or
frying eggs with butter, for frying vegetables or steaks
up to the required level of boiling, and for keeping the
temperature under control.
Instead of frequently adjusting the power level during
cooking, select the required target temperature once at
the start. The sensors under the glass ceramic measure
the temperature of the cookware and keep this constant
throughout the entire cooking process.
This function is available on all cooking zones marked
with this symbol .
16.1 Advantages
The temperature is automatically kept constant
without you having to change the power level.
Oil does not overheat. This prevents the food from
burning.
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature. This
