information
Impor t ant safety informat i on
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote
control.
:Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
:Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn
back in.
Always ensure that there is an adequate
supply of fresh air to the room if the appliance
is being operated in air extraction mode at the
same time as a non-room-sealed heating
appliance is being operated.
Non-room-sealed heating appliances (e.g.
gas-, oil-, wood- or coal-burning heaters,
continuous flow heaters or water heaters)
draw in combustion air from the room in which
they are installed and discharge the exhaust
gases outdoors through an exhaust gas
system (e.g. a chimney).
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
extraction shaft are sucked backed into the
living space.
■ There must therefore always be an
adequate supply of air.
■ A supply-air/air-extraction duct alone is not
sufficient to ensure compliance with the
limit.
It is only possible to safely operate the
appliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4Pa (0.04mbar) below
atmospheric pressure. This can be achieved if
the air needed for combustion is able to enter
through openings that cannot be sealed, for
example through doors, windows, by means of
a supply-air/air-extraction duct or by other
technical means.
The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into
a shaft that is used to ventilate rooms in which
heating appliances are installed.
If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you
must obtain the consent of the heating
engineer responsible.
Always consult the heating engineer
responsible. They will be able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and suggest
the most appropriate ventilation measures.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the
extractor hood is operated exclusively in air
recirculation mode.

7Environmental protection
Envi r onment al pr ot ect i on
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
■ Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
■ The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
■ Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■ Switch back to a lower heat setting in good time.
This will save energy.
■ During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the ventilation system to work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
■ Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
■ If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
ventilation system will need to be operated for
longer.
■ Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
■ Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the
ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
fInduction cooking
Induction cooki ng
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■ Saves time when boiling and frying.
■ Saves energy.
■ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
■ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
■ Cookware made from enamelled steel
■ Cookware made from cast iron
■ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section entitled
~ "Cookware check".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of
the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
If the flexible cooking zone is being used as a single
hotplate, larger items of cookware can be used as
these are particularly suited to this area. You can find
information on positioning cookware in the section
entitled ~ "CombiZone function" on page 17.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Induction cooking en

Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
■ If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■ common thin steel
■ glass
■ earthenware
■ copper
■ aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and
pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly
through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-
layer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass
on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and
switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
■ Set heat setting 8to 9for preheating.
■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.
■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven
gloves.

Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induc-
tion technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at
the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter
when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have
switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
