- Causes of damage
- Caution!
- ■ Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
- ■ Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so may cause damage.
- ■ Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
- ■ Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.
- ■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

- Energy-saving advice
- ■ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
- ■ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.
- ■ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
- ■ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
- ■ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- ■ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
- f Induction cooking
- Induction cooking
- Advantages of induction cooking
- ■ Saves time when boiling and frying.
- ■ Saves energy.
- ■ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
- ■ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off...
- ■ Cookware made from enamelled steel
- ■ Cookware made from cast iron
- ■ Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.
- ■ If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking
- ■ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.

- ■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.
- ■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
- ■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.
- ■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be avoided.

Operating the appliance
This chapter explains how to set a hotplate. The table
shows heat settings and cooking times for various
meals.
Switching the hob on and off
The main switch is used to switch the hob on and off.
To switch on: Touch the # symbol. An audible signal
sounds. The indicator next to the main switch and the
hotplate indicators ‹ light up. The hob is ready to use.
To switch off: Touch the # symbol until the indicator
goes out. All hotplates are switched off. The residual
heat indicator remains lit until the hotplates have cooled
down sufficiently.
Notes
■ The hob switches off automatically if all hotplates
have been switched off for more than 20 seconds.
■ The selected settings are stored for four seconds
after the hob has been switched off. If you switch it
on again during this time, the hob will operate using
the previously stored settings.
Setting a hotplate
Set the required heat setting using symbols ò to ê.
Heat setting ò = lowest setting.
Heat setting ê = highest setting.
Every heat setting has an intermediate setting. This
intermediate setting is marked in the control panel with
the Øsymbol.
Selecting a hotplate and heat setting
The hob must be switched on.
1. Touch the ø symbol for the required hotplate.
The ‹ symbol lights up and the ¬ symbol
underneath.
2. Then select the required heat setting from the
settings range.
The heat setting is set.
Changing the heat setting
Select the hotplate and then set the required heat
setting in the control panel.
Switch off the hotplate
Select the hotplate and set it to ‹ in the programming
panel. The hotplate turns off and the residual heat
indicator appears.
Notes
■ If no pan has been placed on the hotplate, the
selected power level flashes. After a certain time has
elapsed, the hotplate switches off.
■ If a pan has been placed on the hotplate before
switching on the hob, it will be detected within
20 seconds of pressing the main switch and the
hotplate will be selected automatically. Once
detected, select the power level within the next
20 seconds or the hotplate will switch off.
If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one
will be detected when switching it on.
