Overview

This document describes an induction hob, a cooking appliance that utilizes electromagnetic induction to directly heat cookware. This method offers several benefits over conventional hobs, including time and energy savings, improved heat control, and easier cleaning and care.

Function Description

The induction hob is designed for preparing meals and drinks in private households and enclosed domestic spaces, up to an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level. It operates by generating heat directly in the cookware, which allows for precise temperature control and efficient cooking.

The hob features multiple cooking zones, each with a specific diameter and maximum power level. These zones are controlled via a touch panel, which allows users to select cooking zones, adjust power levels from 1 to 9 (with intermediate levels indicated by a dot), and access various time-setting options.

Key functions include:

  • Main Switch: To turn the hob on and off.
  • Selecting Cooking Zone: To activate a specific cooking area.
  • Selecting Settings: To adjust power levels or other functions.
  • PowerBoost: This function allows for faster heating, particularly useful for boiling larger volumes of water. It temporarily increases the power beyond level 9 for a selected cooking zone, provided other zones in the same group are not in use.
  • Time-setting Options: Includes a switch-off timer for individual cooking zones and a separate kitchen timer.
  • Childproof Lock: A safety feature that prevents children from accidentally switching on the hob. It can be manually activated or set to automatically engage when the hob is switched off.
  • Residual Heat Indicator: Each cooking zone has an indicator (H for hot, h for warm) to show if it is still hot after use, preventing accidental burns.
  • QuickStart: If cookware is placed on the hob before it is switched on, the hob automatically detects it and selects the corresponding cooking zone upon activation, allowing for immediate power level selection.
  • ReStart: If the appliance is switched on within four seconds of being turned off, it will resume operation with the previously set settings.
  • Power Limitation: This basic setting allows users to limit the total power consumption of the hob, which can be useful depending on the electrical installation.
  • Cookware Test: A built-in function to assess the suitability and quality of cookware for induction cooking.

Usage Features

The induction hob is designed for user-friendly operation with its intuitive touch control panel. Users can easily select cooking zones and adjust power levels using the plus and minus symbols. The hob provides visual feedback through its displays, showing the operating status, power levels, and residual heat.

Cooking recommendations are provided in a table format, suggesting suitable power levels and cooking times for various foods, from melting butter to deep-fat frying. This guidance helps users achieve optimal cooking results.

The time-setting options enhance convenience:

  • Switch-off Timer: Allows users to program a specific cooking time for a hotplate, after which it will automatically switch off. This is useful for precise cooking and preventing overcooking.
  • Kitchen Timer: Functions independently of the cooking zones, providing a countdown timer for other kitchen tasks without affecting hob operation.

The hob also offers basic settings that can be configured to suit individual preferences, such as:

  • Childproof Lock Activation: Manual or automatic.
  • Signal Tones: Options to switch off confirmation and fault signals, or to have only fault signals, confirmation signals, or all signals active.
  • Automatic Switch-off: Configurable duration after which cooking zones will automatically switch off if left unattended.
  • Timer End Signal Tone Duration: Adjustable length of the signal tone when a timer ends.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the induction hob is crucial for its longevity and efficient performance. The manual provides clear guidelines for cleaning and servicing.

  • Cleaning the Hob:
    • The hob should be cleaned after every use to prevent cooking residues from burning on.
    • It is important to clean the hob when it is cold, especially if there are sugar stains, rice starch, plastic, or aluminum foil, which should be removed immediately with a glass scraper.
    • Only cleaning agents suitable for glass ceramic should be used, following the instructions on their packaging.
    • Special sponges for glass ceramic are recommended for good cleaning results.
    • Keeping the base of cookware clean helps maintain the hob surface in good condition.
  • Cleaning the Hob Surround:
    • The hob frame should be cleaned with hot soapy water and a soft cloth if it becomes dirty or stained.
    • A glass scraper should not be used on the hob surround.
    • New sponge cloths should be thoroughly washed before use, and the frame should be dried with a soft cloth.
  • Avoiding Material Damage:
    • The manual explicitly warns against using unsuitable cleaning products, undiluted detergent, dishwasher detergent, abrasive cleaners, aggressive products like oven spray, abrasive sponges, or high-pressure/steam jet cleaners, as these can damage the appliance surfaces.
    • It also advises against cleaning the hob while it is still hot to prevent marks on the surface.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users rectify minor faults themselves, potentially avoiding unnecessary service calls. This section details common fault displays, their causes, and recommended solutions.
    • For more complex issues or if fault codes persist, users are advised to contact customer service.
  • Disposal:
    • The appliance is designed for environmentally friendly disposal, with packaging materials being recyclable.
    • Users are instructed to unplug the appliance, cut the power cord, and dispose of it according to local regulations, aligning with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Overall, the induction hob is a modern cooking appliance designed for efficiency, safety, and ease of use, with clear instructions for both operation and maintenance to ensure a long service life.
