If these conditions are satisfied, and if, in addition, non-metal cooking utensils and cookware with non-metal handles are used, it is safe to use this induction hob as intended.

1.3 Restriction on user group

This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by people who have reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate experience and/or knowledge, provided that they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting dangers.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance unless they are at least 15 years old and are being supervised.
• Keep children under the age of 8 years away from the appliance and power cable.

1.4 Safe use

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of suffocation!

• Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.
• Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material.

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of poisoning!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.

• Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as a room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.
• It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved whenever the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
• In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They are able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.
• Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating-air mode.

2 Avoiding material damage

When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating.

• The cooking container in the bain marie must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot.
• Only use heat-resistant cookware.

An appliance with a cracked or broken surface can cause cuts. Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked or broken surface.

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.

• Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
• Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate. Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.
• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
• Cover saucepans with suitable lids. Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.
• Lift lids as infrequently as possible. When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable. Refer to "Cookware test", Page 16 for more details.

Notes

• Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
• Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

5 Familiarising yourself with your appliance

5.1 Cooking with induction

In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly in the cookware.
