This document describes the features, usage, and maintenance of a Siemens induction hob.
The induction hob is designed for preparing meals and drinks in private households and enclosed domestic environments, under supervision. It should not be used with external timers or separate remote controls unless specifically designed for such operation (EN 50615). Users with active implantable medical devices should consult their doctor to ensure compatibility. The appliance is safe for use by children aged 8 and over, and individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, provided they are supervised and instructed on safe use. Children under 8 should be kept away from the appliance and its power cable.
Fire Hazard: Leaving fat or oil unattended on the hob can lead to fires. Never attempt to extinguish a fire with water; instead, switch off the appliance and cover it with a lid or fire blanket. Flammable objects, aerosol cans, or hob covers should never be placed on or near the hot cooking surface. After each use, switch off the hob using the main switch.
Burn Hazard: The appliance and its parts, especially the hob surround, become hot during use. Exercise caution to avoid touching heating elements. Young children under 8 should be kept away. Metal objects (knives, forks, spoons, lids) placed on the hob can become very hot. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
Electric Shock Hazard: Improper repairs are dangerous and should only be carried out by trained specialist staff using genuine spare parts. If the power cord or appliance power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or Customer Service. Do not operate a damaged appliance. If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance at the fuse box to prevent electric shock. Do not use steam or high-pressure cleaners.
Injury Hazard: Saucepans may jump due to liquid between the base and hotplate; always keep them dry. Avoid using icy-cold cookware from the freezer. Long, pointed metallic objects should not be stored in drawers directly underneath the hob, as they could contact the fan and cause electric shock.
Suffocation Hazard: Keep packaging materials and small parts away from children.
To prevent damage, monitor cooking processes, especially with high-sugar foods, and immediately remove spills with a glass scraper. Use suitable cookware in good condition; defective cookware or cookware with melted enamel, copper, or aluminum bases can cause stains or blisters. Only use cleaning agents suitable for glass ceramic and clean the hob when cold. Avoid dropping hard or pointed objects on the glass, and lift cookware when moving it to prevent scratches. Do not use the hob as a work or storage surface. Never use frozen or empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. Do not place greaseproof paper, aluminum foil, plastic containers, or hot pot lids on the hob. Avoid placing hot cookware on the control panel or frame.
When cooking in a bain marie, ensure the cooking container does not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot, and only use heat-resistant cookware.
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable. To save energy, select a cooking zone that matches the size of your pan and center the cookware. Use cookware with a base diameter equal to the hotplate's diameter. Covering saucepans with suitable lids reduces energy consumption. Lift lids infrequently, and use glass lids to monitor cooking without lifting. Use pots and pans with flat bases. Match cookware size to food quantity, and use minimal water. Turn down the power level early to avoid wasting energy.
Induction-suitable cookware must have a ferromagnetic base that is attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the cooking zone size. If cookware isn't 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 for even heat distribution and quick heating. Ferromagnetic cookware (enamelled steel, cast iron, special induction stainless steel) also works well. Cookware with a base that is not fully ferromagnetic will only heat the ferromagnetic area, leading to uneven heat distribution. Cookware bases containing aluminum reduce the ferromagnetic area, resulting in less power emission and potentially insufficient heating. Cookware made from thin steel, glass, clay, copper, or aluminum is not suitable. Do not use adapter plates or heat empty, thin-based cookware, as it can become very hot.
The control panel includes a main switch, cooking zone selectors, and a settings area. Keep the control panel clean and dry, and avoid placing cookware near displays or buttons to prevent overheating. Touch fields illuminate when the hob is switched on, indicating available functions such as powerBoost, timer functions, pause, childproof lock, favourite button, and connectivity. Indicators show switch-off timer, power levels, and childproof lock status.
For Home Connect functionality, buttons and displays become available once connected. The "▷" sensor allows accepting settings from another appliance.
The hob features various cooking zones, with specified power measured using standard pots (IEC/EN 60335-2-6). Power may vary based on cookware size and material. A residual heat indicator (H for hot, h for warm) is present for each cooking zone; do not touch a zone if its indicator is lit.
Before first use, remove packaging and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. A list of recommended detergents is available on the Siemens website.
Induction technology offers benefits over conventional hobs, including time and energy savings, easier cleaning, and improved heat control due to direct heat generation in the cookware.
If the appliance is connected to Home Connect, some functions may be available via software updates, with more information on the Siemens website.
Switching on/off: Touch the main switch to turn on the hob. A signal sounds, and cooking zone symbols light up. The hob is ready when "0" appears in the cooking zone displays. If switched on within four seconds of being switched off, the hob restarts with previous settings. Touch the main switch again until displays go out to switch off. If all zones are off for over 59 seconds, the hob automatically switches off.
Setting Power Level: Each cooking zone has 17 power levels (1 to 5 with intermediate values). Select the desired cooking zone, then the power level in the settings area. If no cookware is present or suitable, the selected power level flashes, and the zone switches off after a period.
quickStart: If cookware is placed on a zone before switching on, the hob detects it and automatically selects the zone. Select the power level within 59 seconds, or the hob switches off.
Changing Power Level/Switching Off Zone: Select the cooking zone, then adjust the power level or set it to "0" to switch it off.
Cooking Tips: Stir puree, cream soups, or thick sauces occasionally. Preheat at power level 8-9. Reduce power when cooking with a lid once steam escapes. Place a lid on cookware after cooking. Follow pressure cooker instructions. 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 for hot cookware. Refer to "Saving energy" for energy-efficient cooking.
Cooking recommendations tables provide suitable power levels and approximate cooking times for various foods, including poaching, simmering, boiling, steaming, braising, melting, heating/keeping warm, defrosting/heating, and braising/frying with a small amount of fat.
