- 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.

- Switching the hob on and off
- Setting a hotplate
- Chef's recommendations
- ■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.
- ■ Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
- ■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.
- ■ 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.
- ■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
- ■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.
- ■ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in section ~ "Environmental protection"

The kitchen timer
You can use the kitchen timer to set a time of up to 99
minutes.
This functions independently from the hotplates and
from other settings. This function does not automatically
switch off a hotplate.
Setting
1. Touch the 0 symbol repeatedly until the V
indicator lights up. ‹‹ lights up on the timer display.
2. Set the desired time in the settings area.
After a few seconds, the time begins to elapse.
Changing or deleting the time
Touch the 0 symbol repeatedly until the V indicator
lights up.
Change the time in the settings area or set ‹‹ in order
to delete the programmed time.
When the time has elapsed
An audible signal sounds. ‹‹ appears on the timer
display and the V indicator lights up. The displays go
out after 10 seconds.
When the 0 symbol is touched, the displays go out
and the audible signal ceases.
vPowerBoost function
PowerBoost function
The PowerBoost function enables you to heat up large
quantities of water faster than when using heat setting
Š.
This function can always be activated for a hotplate,
provided the other hotplate in the same group is not in
use (see illustration). Otherwise,
› and Š will flash in
the display for the selected hotplate; the
Š heat setting
will then be set automatically without activating the
function.
Note: In the combi zone, the PowerBoost function can
only be activated if the two hotplates are used
independently of each other.
Activation
1. Select a hotplate.
2. Touch the á symbol.
› lights up on the display.
The function is activated.
Deactivation
1. Select the hotplate.
2. Touch the á symbol.
The › display goes out and the hotplate switches
back to the Š heat setting.
The function is deactivated.
Note: In certain circumstances, the PowerBoost
function can switch itself off automatically in order to
protect the electronic elements inside the hob.
