Safe Use
WARNING Risk of suffocation! Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing suffocation. 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 and discharge exhaust gases into the open. With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Without adequate air supply, air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure, and toxic gases from the chimney or extraction shaft can be sucked back into the living space.
- Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is operated in exhaust air mode simultaneously with a room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance.
- Safe operation is only possible if the room pressure does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This is achieved when air for combustion can enter through unsealable openings (e.g., in doors, windows, wall boxes) or by other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient.
- Consult your chimney sweep to assess the house's ventilation setup and suggest suitable measures.
- Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is used exclusively in circulating-air mode.
WARNING Risk of fire! Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires.
- Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
- Never attempt to extinguish a fire using water; instead, switch off the appliance and cover with a lid or fire blanket.
- The cooking surface becomes very hot. Never place flammable objects on or near the cooking surface. Never place objects on the cooking surface.
- The appliance will become hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.
- Hob covers can cause accidents (overheating, fire, shattering). Do not use hob covers.
- After every use, switch off the hob using the main switch. Do not wait for automatic switch-off if no cookware is present.
- Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire. Never operate the appliance without a grease filter. Clean the grease filters regularly.
- Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g., flambéing).
WARNING Risk of burns! The appliance and its touchable parts become hot during use, particularly the hob surround. Exercise caution to avoid touching heating elements. Young children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance. Hob protective grilles may cause accidents. Never use hob protective grilles.
- Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (knives, forks, spoons, lids) on the hob.
- The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
- If hot liquids penetrate the appliance, remove the grease filter or overflow container only after the appliance has cooled down.
WARNING Risk of electric shock! Improper repairs are dangerous.
- Repairs should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
- Only use genuine spare parts.
- If the power cord or appliance power cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord or cable from the manufacturer or Customer Service.
- Never operate a damaged appliance. Never operate an appliance with a cracked or fractured surface.
- Never pull on the power cord to unplug. Always unplug at the mains.
- If the appliance or power cable is damaged, immediately switch off the fuse in the fuse box and call customer services.
- Ingress of moisture can cause electric shock. Do not use steam- or high-pressure cleaners.
- The insulation on cables of electrical appliances may melt if it touches hot parts. Never bring electrical appliance cables into contact with hot parts.
WARNING Risk of injury! Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the base and the hotplate. Always keep hotplates and saucepan bases dry. Never use icy-cold cookware from the freezer. When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating. The cooking container 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.
Avoiding Material Damage
This section details common causes of damage and how to avoid them.
| Damage | Cause | Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Stains | Unsupervised cooking process. Spilled food, especially high-sugar content. | Monitor the cooking process. Remove immediately with a glass scraper. |
| Stains, blisters | Defective cookware, cookware with melted enamel, or cookware with copper or aluminium base. | Use suitable cookware that is in good condition. |
| Stains, discolouration | Unsuitable cleaning methods. | Only use cleaning agents suitable for glass ceramic and clean the hob when cold. |
| Blisters or fractures in the glass | Knocks or falling cookware, cooking accessories, or other hard or pointed objects. | Do not hit the glass or let objects fall onto the hob. Check the cookware. Lift cookware when moving it. |
| Scratches, discolouration | Rough cookware bases or moving cookware on the hob. | Lift cookware when moving it. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. |
| Scratches | Salt, sugar, or sand. | Ensure cookware bases are clean. |
| Damage to the appliance | Cooking with frozen cookware. | Never use frozen cookware. |
| Damage to the cookware or the appliance | Cooking without contents. | Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. |
| Glass damage | Melted material on the hot cooking zone or hot pot lid on the glass. | Do not place greaseproof paper, aluminium foil, plastic containers, or pot lids on the hob. |

Environmental Protection and Saving Energy
Disposing of Packaging
Packaging materials are environmentally compatible and recyclable. Sort components by type and dispose of them separately.
Saving 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 as the hotplate. (Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter, which 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.
- Use a glass lid. You can see into the pan through a glass lid without lifting it.
- Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
- Use cookware suitable for the quantity of food. Large items of cookware with little food need more energy to heat up.
- Cook with only a little water. The more water, the more energy is required.
- Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suitable ongoing power level. Using too high a level wastes energy.
- Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam. Lower fan speed consumes less energy. If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time to reduce odour distribution.
- Switch the appliance off when not in use.
- Ensure sufficient ventilation when cooking. The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer operating noises. Clean or replace filters regularly to maintain effectiveness.
Product Information according to (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the appliance pass and online on the product page.
Suitable Cookware
Cookware suitable for induction must have a ferromagnetic base (attracted by a magnet) and the base must match the cooking zone size. If cookware is not detected, place it on the zone with the next smallest diameter.
Size and Characteristics of Cookware
Correct detection depends on size and material. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. Use the "Cookware test" function to check suitability (see Page 14).
| Cookware | Materials | Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended | Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes heat well. Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron, or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. | Distributes heat evenly, heats up quickly, and is easily detected. Heats up quickly and is easily detected. |
| Suitable | The base is not fully ferromagnetic. Cookware bases with aluminium content. | If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base, only that area heats up, leading to uneven heat distribution. These reduce the ferromagnetic area, emitting less power. This cookware may not be detected or may not heat sufficiently. |
| Not suitable | Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper, or aluminium. |
Notes
- Do not use adapter plates between the hob and cookware.
- Do not heat empty cookware or use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

Operating Modes
The appliance can be used in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.
Air Extraction Mode
Air is cleaned by grease filters and conveyed to the exterior via a pipe system. Air must not be discharged into a flue used for appliances burning gas or other fuels (unless they only discharge air back into the room). Obtain consent from the heating engineer if conveying exhaust air into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue. Use a telescopic duct for conveying exhaust air through an external wall.
Air Recirculation
Air is cleaned by grease filters and an odour filter, then conveyed back into the room. An odour filter must be installed to bind odours. For intensive or long cooking, adequate kitchen ventilation (e.g., opening a window) is recommended to remove excess moisture.
Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Remove packaging, wipe the hob surface with a damp cloth. Recommended detergents are listed on the official website.
Preparing the Appliance
Ensure correct operation by arranging components: 1. Insert the filter. 2. Insert the metal grease filter. Never operate without the metal grease filter and overflow container.
Cooking with Induction
Induction technology offers benefits like time/energy savings, easier cleaning, and improved heat control as heat is generated directly in the cookware.
