Operation
4.1 Appropriate cookware
Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate pot is used.
• The pot should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate pot is the one which enables induction, for example steel,
enamel or steel alloy. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or
aluminium bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure pot, keep it under close surveillance until proper
pressure is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power,
then follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”
Note:
When Bridge function is selected, you can use the created zone in different ways, with one
or two pots. If you use larger pots than the recommended maximum size, the heating time
will be longer, because the heating will propagate from center to edges of the pot by
conduction, in this case also the temperature will be very inhomogeneous.
Magnet test
Use small magnet A to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where magnet sticks
to the bottom are suitable.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition.
If you place the dish over that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish
and turns on to the pre-set power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place smaller dish upon
the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy required to heat the dish
according to its size.
Hotplate may be damaged if:
• empty hop are heated up.
• you don’t use the appropriate pots.
• you use clay dishes which leave scratches on the glass surface.
• you don’t wipe the pot bottom.
The use of bad quality cookware or any adapter for non-magnetic cookware invalidates
product warranty. In this case, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage
caused to the appliance and / or objects closed to the same.

5 Cleaning and care
x Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you clean it.
x Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!
x When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be
accidentally switched on.
x Observe all safety and warning information.
x Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures long service life of the appliance and opt
imal function.
Component Cleaning cycle
Operating panel Immediately after every soiling
Glass ceramic hob
Clean with conventional glass ceramic detergents immediately
after soiling and on a weekly basis
Air inlet glass
After cooking very greasy dishes; at least once a week. Clean
by hand (Do not put this part in the dishwasher!)
Grease filters
Clean when the fan power level indicator shows F. (Do not put
this part in the dishwasher!)
Condensation filter Every time you clean the grease filters (do not put this part in
the dishwasher!).
Water collector When some water overflows and flows in the air inlet opening.
Carbon filters (only in C - version)
Regenerate if odours have built up, extraction power is
dwindling or the fan power level indicator shows C. Every 2
years the carbon filters must be replaced.
5.1 Glass ceramic hob
Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust
and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
x Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time the hob
is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth
to ensure that there is no de
tergent left on the surface of the hob.
Weekly cleaning
x Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass cerami
c cleaning agents. Please follow
the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective
film which is resistant to water and dirt. All the dirt will remain on the film and can then easily be removed.
Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make sure th
at no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob
since this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surf
ace.
5.2 Specific soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (lime scaling and shiny, mother-of-pearl-type stains) can best be
removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with
a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under chapter
5.1.
