This document is a user manual for the AEG IKE64441FB induction hob, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The hob is designed for household cooking purposes and features four induction cooking zones, controlled by a touch-sensitive panel.
The AEG IKE64441FB hob offers a range of functions designed to enhance the cooking experience. Its core functionality revolves around induction cooking, which generates heat directly in the cookware's bottom, ensuring efficient and rapid heating. The hob features a control panel with sensor fields that allow users to activate and deactivate the hob, set heat settings, and manage various functions.
A key feature is the Automatic Switch Off, which deactivates the hob under several conditions to ensure safety and energy efficiency. This includes situations where all cooking zones are deactivated, no heat setting is selected after activation, spills occur on the control panel, the hob overheats (e.g., a saucepan boils dry), incorrect cookware is used, or a cooking zone is left unattended for an extended period.
The hob also includes an Automatic Heat Up function, which allows for faster heating to a desired setting. When activated, the zone initially operates at its highest setting before settling to the user-selected heat level. This function is particularly useful for quickly bringing liquids to a boil or searing ingredients.
For increased power, the PowerBoost function is available for induction cooking zones. This temporarily provides additional power to a selected zone for a limited time, after which it automatically reverts to its highest heat setting. This is ideal for tasks requiring intense heat, such as rapid boiling or high-temperature frying.
The hob incorporates a Timer function with two modes: Count Down Timer and CountUp Timer. The Count Down Timer allows users to set a specific duration for a cooking zone to operate, automatically deactivating it once the time expires. The CountUp Timer, on the other hand, monitors how long a cooking zone has been active, providing a useful tool for tracking cooking durations.
A Minute Minder function is also available, which can be used independently of the cooking zones when the hob is active. This acts as a simple timer for general kitchen tasks.
The Pause function is a convenient feature that sets all operating cooking zones to the lowest heat setting (level 1). When active, other control panel symbols are locked, preventing accidental changes. This allows users to temporarily step away from cooking without fully deactivating the hob.
For safety, the hob includes a Lock / Child Safety Device function. This allows users to lock the control panel while cooking zones are operating, preventing accidental changes to heat settings. The Child Safety Device specifically prevents accidental activation of the hob, requiring a specific sequence of touches to activate or deactivate.
The OffSound Control function provides flexibility in managing the hob's acoustic signals. Users can choose to turn off most sounds, with exceptions for essential alerts like the Minute Minder, Count Down Timer, and control panel interactions.
A sophisticated Hob²Hood function enables automatic communication between the hob and a compatible cooker hood. This advanced feature uses an infrared signal communicator to automatically adjust the fan speed of the hood based on the hob's mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cookware. Users can also manually operate the fan speed from the hob, overriding the automatic function.
The hob also features Power Management, which groups cooking zones based on their location and the number of phases in the hob. This function ensures that the total electricity loading does not exceed a maximum limit (3700 W per phase), automatically decreasing power to other zones if necessary.
An Öko Timer (Eco Timer) is included to promote energy saving. This function deactivates the heater of a cooking zone before the count-down timer sounds, with the difference in operation time depending on the heat setting and cooking duration.
Operating the AEG IKE64441FB hob is intuitive, primarily through its touch-sensitive control panel. To activate or deactivate the hob, users simply touch the ON/OFF sensor field for one second. Heat settings are adjusted by touching the control bar at the desired level or by sliding a finger along it.
For cooking with larger cookware, the hob supports a Bridge function, connecting two left-side cooking zones to operate as one. This requires the cookware to cover the centers of both zones without extending beyond the marked area.
The OptiHeat Control (3 step Residual heat indicator) provides visual feedback on residual heat levels after a cooking zone is deactivated. This indicator helps users utilize residual heat for continued cooking, keeping food warm, or simply as a safety warning against hot surfaces.
When using the Hob²Hood function, users can select from various automatic modes (H1-H6) that define how the hood's fan speed and light operate in response to cooking activity. For instance, some modes activate the fan and light based on boiling or frying processes, while others activate them regardless of temperature. Manual control of the fan speed is also possible, allowing users to override the automatic settings.
The manual emphasizes the importance of using suitable cookware for induction cooking. Cookware made of cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, or multi-layer bottoms with a correct manufacturer marking is recommended. Cookware is suitable if water boils quickly on the highest heat setting and a magnet adheres to its bottom. The induction cooking zones automatically adapt to the dimensions of the cookware, but using cookware with an appropriate diameter ensures optimal efficiency.
The manual also provides a table of cooking applications with recommended heat settings and cooking times, offering guidance for various dishes, from melting butter to deep-frying chips.
Maintaining the AEG IKE64441FB hob is crucial for its longevity and performance. The manual stresses the importance of regular cleaning to prevent deterioration of the surface material. Users are advised to clean the hob after each use and ensure that cookware bottoms are clean before placing them on the surface.
Before cleaning, the hob should be deactivated and allowed to cool down. It should also be disconnected from the electrical supply during maintenance. Cleaning should be done with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products, cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects. Steam cleaners are explicitly not recommended.
For specific types of dirt, immediate action is advised. Melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar, and sugary foods should be removed immediately using a special hob scraper at an acute angle to prevent permanent damage. Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discoloration should be removed once the hob has sufficiently cooled, using a moist cloth with a non-abrasive detergent or a solution of water with vinegar.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues, such as the hob not activating, a blown fuse, incorrect heat setting, or sensor field problems. It advises users to check basic conditions like electrical connection, proper operation, and cleanliness of the control panel. For more complex issues or persistent problems, users are directed to contact an Authorised Service Centre, providing specific details from the rating plate and any error messages displayed.
The document also includes environmental concerns, encouraging users to recycle packaging materials and dispose of the appliance responsibly at local recycling facilities, rather than with household waste.
