- 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.

- Environmental protection
- 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.

- 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"

Questions (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Using the appliance
Why can't I switch on the hob and why is the childproof lock symbol lit?
The childproof lock is activated.
You can find information on this function in the section on ~ "Childproof lock"
Why are the displays flashing and why can I hear an audible signal?
Remove any liquid or food remains from the control panel. Remove any objects from the control panel.
You can find instructions on how to deactivate the audible signal in the section on ~ "Basic settings"
Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induc-
tion technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at
the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter
when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have
switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
Cookware
Which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob?
You can find information on which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob in the section on ~ "Induction cooking"
Why is the hotplate not heating up and why is the heat setting flashing?
The hotplate on which the cookware is standing is not switched on.
Check that you have switched on the correct hotplate.
The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking.
Check that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking and that it is placed on the hotplate that best corresponds to its size. You can find
information on the type, size and positioning of the cookware in the sections on ~ "Induction cooking", ~ "CombiZone function" and
~ "Move function"
Why is it taking so long for the cookware to heat up or why is it not heating up sufficiently despite being on a high heat setting?
The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking.
Check that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking and that it is placed on the hotplate that best corresponds to its size. You can find
information on the type, size and positioning of the cookware in the sections on ~ "Induction cooking", ~ "CombiZone function" and
