Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when using
induction cooking zones, depending on the material and the
finish of the base:
XO
Humming may occur when using a high power level. It
decreases or disappears if the power level is decreased.
XO
Crackling or whistling may occur due to the bases of cookware
being made of different materials (e.g. sandwich base).
XO
Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures, especially at low power levels.
XO
Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched on. In
order to increase the service life of the electronic system,
the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan
switches on automatically if the cooktop is used intensively.
You will hear a whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue
to run after the appliance has been switched off.

i
The heating and heat-through time for the base of the
cookware as well as the cooking results are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
XO
enamelled steel
XO
cast iron
XX
Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The base of the cookware
should not show any sign of curvature. Due to incorrect hob
temperature monitoring, this curvature may cause the cookware
to overheat. To avoid scratching the cooktop, the base of the
cookware must not have any sharp grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
(1*) Timer display
The timer display uses the cooking zone indicators for the two
rear cooking zones (e.g.
30
for 30 minutes). The cooking zone
indicators for the two front cooking zones are disabled while the
timer is displayed.

4.2 How the cooktop extractor
works – recirculation
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and an
activated charcoal filter and fed back into the room in which the
appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter must be
used. For health and hygiene reasons, the activated charcoal
filter must be replaced at the recommended intervals (see the
“Cleaning and maintenance” chapter).
i
In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation and
aeration to expel humidity.
4.3 How the induction cooking zone
works
An induction coil is located underneath an induction cooking
zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field that acts directly on the base of the pot thus
heating it up. The cooking zone is only indirectly heated up by
the heat emitted by the pot. Cooking zones with induction only
work if the cookware has a magnetisable base.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
