Hob
Glass ceramic cooking surface
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob, the
hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or only after
a while.
• If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut off the power supply to the appliance.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
• Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone. The cooking zone may be damaged if you
place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry
to allow conduction of heat.
Cooking power levels
Cooking zone heating power can be set to 10 different levels (depending on the model). The table
lists some examples of use for each level.

Energy saving tips
• When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the
upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
• If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sufficient
liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat
which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the amount
of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more energy.
Induction cooking zone operating principle
• The cooking hob is fitted with highly efficient induction cooking zones.
The heat is generated directly in the bottom of the pan where it is
needed the most. This avoids any losses through the glass ceramic
surface. Power consumption is considerably lower than in
conventional cooking zones with radiation heaters.
• The glass ceramic cooking zone is not heated directly, but only
indirectly with the heat radiated back by the pan. After the cooking
zone is switched off, this residual heat is indicated by "H".
