Before the first use Read the section on the "Data plate" and attach the plate, which is included with the appliance documents, in the location specified in "Technical Service". First cleaning Remove any protective foil and stickers. Before the first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Do NOT use dish liquid to clean the glass ceramic cooktop, because this can cause permanent blue discolorations.
Before the first use Calibrating the sensors Automatic calibration To ensure continuing trouble-free operation, the sensors – are recalibrated after the appliance is connected and after every power interruption, such as an electricity outage. The safety lock indicator light comes on during automatic calibration and the cooktop cannot be switched on. – continuously adjust to changing environmental conditions during operation.
Induction How induction works Under each induction cooking zone, there is an induction coil. When the cooking zone is switched on, the coil generates a magnetic field that acts directly on the bottom of the pot/pan to heat it up. The cooking zone heats up indirectly, only from the heat given off by the pot/pan. Cooking zones with induction only work with cookware that has a magnetizable bottom (see "Cookware"). The induction process automatically takes into account the size of the cookware being used.
Induction Noise When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the the type and shape of the cookware bottom: – The zone may hum at the higher power settings. The humming will become quieter or disappear if you lower the power setting. To extend the life of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a cooling fan. If the appliance is under heavy use, the fan will start, and you will hear it whirring.
Induction Cookware Type of cookware Suitable cookware is made of: – Stainless steel with a magnetizable bottom – enamel-coated steel – Cast iron Unsuitable cookware is made of: – Stainless steel with a non-magnetizable bottom – Aluminum, copper – Glass/ceramic/earthenware/ stoneware If you are not sure whether a pot or pan is suitable for induction, you can test it using a magnet against the bottom. If the magnet sticks, the cookware can be used.
Operation Sensor switches Switching on The control panel on your ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor switches. They respond to finger contact. To operate the cooking zones, simply touch the corresponding sensor switches. Every response of the sensor switches is acknowledged with an acoustic signal. Begin by switching on the cooktop, then the desired cooking zone. Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation! Switching on the cooktop ^ Tap the ON/OFF sensors.
