This document describes an induction hob, providing comprehensive information on its functions, usage, and maintenance.
The induction hob utilizes induction technology for cooking, offering benefits such as time and energy savings, improved heat control, and easier cleaning compared to conventional hobs. Heat is generated directly in the cookware, making the cooking process more efficient.
The appliance is designed for preparing meals and drinks in private households and enclosed domestic spaces, under supervision. It should not be used with external timers or separate remote controls unless specifically designed for such operation (EN 50615 compliant). Users with active implantable medical devices should consult their doctor regarding compliance with relevant directives and safety standards. Children aged 8 and over, and individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, may use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children under 8 should be kept away from the appliance and its power cable. Cleaning and user maintenance by children should only be performed if they are at least 15 years old and supervised.
To prevent damage, users should monitor cooking processes, especially when using oil or fat, to avoid fires. In case of a grease fire, the appliance should be switched off and the fire covered with a lid or fire blanket, never water. Flammable objects should not be placed on or near the cooking surface. Combustible items or aerosol cans should not be stored in drawers directly beneath the hob. Hob covers and protective grilles are not recommended as they can cause accidents. The hob should be switched off after every use using the main switch, rather than waiting for automatic switch-off.
The appliance and its parts, particularly the hob surround, can become hot during use, posing a burn risk. Caution is advised to avoid touching heating elements, and young children should be kept away. Metal objects should not be placed on the hob as they can become very hot. Improper repairs are dangerous and should only be carried out by trained specialist staff using genuine spare parts. A damaged power cord or cracked surface requires immediate disconnection from the fuse box to prevent electric shock. Steam or high-pressure cleaners should not be used for cleaning. Electrical appliance cables should not come into contact with hot parts of the appliance. Long, pointed metallic objects should not be stored in drawers below the hob to prevent electric shock from contact with the fan.
Saucepans may jump due to liquid between the base and hotplate, so hotplates and saucepan bases should be kept dry. Icy-cold cookware from the freezer should not be used. When cooking in a bain marie, the cooking container should not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot, and only heat-resistant cookware should be used. Packaging material should be kept away from children to prevent suffocation. Small parts should also be kept away from children to avoid choking hazards.
Packaging materials are environmentally compatible and recyclable. Users should sort individual components by type for separate disposal. To save energy, select a cooking zone that matches the size of the pan, centering the cookware on the hob. Cookware with a base diameter equal to the hotplate's diameter is ideal. Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume more energy. Covering saucepans with suitable lids significantly reduces energy consumption. Lids should be lifted as infrequently as possible, and glass lids are recommended to allow visibility into the pan without lifting. Pots and pans with flat bases are more energy-efficient. Use cookware appropriate for the quantity of food, as large items with little food require more energy. Cook with minimal water, and turn down the power level early to avoid wasting energy.
Cookware suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base that is attracted by a magnet and matches the cooking zone size. If cookware is not detected, try a smaller cooking zone. All cookware bases should be perfectly flat and smooth. A "Cookware test" function is available to check suitability. Recommended cookware includes stainless steel in a sandwich design, enamelled steel, cast iron, or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. Cookware with partially ferromagnetic bases or aluminium content may not heat evenly or sufficiently. Cookware made from thin steel, glass, clay, copper, or aluminium is not suitable. Adapter plates between the hob and cookware should not be used. Empty cookware or thin-based cookware should not be heated, as it can become very hot.
The control panel features touch buttons for various functions. The main switch (①) turns the hob on/off. Other symbols include wipe protection ( ), childproof lock (8), settings range (0123...), PowerBoost/PanBoost (boost), Timer (ن), Switch-off timer ( ), Count-up timer ( ), Keep-warm function (75555), PerfectFry Sensor (เ), and Select a cooking zone (+). Displays for cooking zones and activated functions light up depending on the hob's status. The control panel should be kept clean and dry, and cookware should not be placed near displays or sensors to prevent overheating.
The manual provides a diagram of cooking zones (A, B, C, D) with their diameters and highest power levels, including PowerBoost values. For example, a Ø 18 cm zone (A) has a power level 9 of 1,800 W and a PowerBoost of 3,100 W. Some zones are single-circuit, while others are tri-circuit, automatically adjusting to cookware size.
Each cooking zone has a residual heat indicator. 'H' indicates the zone is hot, and 'h' indicates it is warm. Users should not touch a cooking zone if its residual heat indicator is lit.
Before initial use, remove any leftover packaging and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Recommended detergents can be found on the official website.
To switch on the hob, touch the main switch (①). An audible signal sounds, symbols for cooking zones and functions light up, and "0.0" appears next to cooking zones. The hob is then ready for use. The ReStart function allows the hob to operate with previously set settings if switched on within four seconds of being switched off. To switch off, touch the main switch (①) until displays go out. If all cooking zones are off for more than 20 seconds, the hob automatically switches off.
Cooking zones have 17 power levels (1 to 9 with intermediate values). To set a power level, touch the symbol for the desired cooking zone, then select the power level in the settings area. If no cookware is present or suitable, the selected power level flashes, and the cooking zone switches off after a period. The QuickStart function automatically detects cookware placed on the hob before it's switched on, selecting the corresponding cooking zone. Users then select the power level within 20 seconds, or the hob switches off.
Stir puree, cream soups, or thick sauces occasionally. Preheat at power level 8-9. When cooking with a lid, reduce power once steam escapes. Keep a lid on cookware after cooking until serving. Follow manufacturer instructions for pressure cookers. Avoid overcooking to preserve nutrients; use the kitchen timer for optimal cooking times. Ensure oil does not smoke. Brown food in small portions. Use oven gloves if cookware reaches high temperatures. Energy-efficient cooking recommendations are provided in the "Saving energy" section. A table provides recommended power levels and cooking times for various foods, noting that times may vary based on food type, weight, thickness, and quality.
The hob offers a Switch-off timer, Timer, and Count-up timer.
