Safety Information
⚠️ RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
- Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp when the appliance is in use. Route the cable so that it cannot be trapped or damaged in any way.
- Ensure that the mains plug is connected exclusively to a properly installed, easily accessible mains socket that has a voltage corresponding to the specifications on the rating plate. The mains socket must remain easily accessible even following connection.
- After use, always disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. When doing so, always take hold of the plug, not the mains cable.
- Just switching off the appliance is not sufficient, as the appliance is subject to mains voltage as long as the plug is connected to the mains power socket.
- Protect the hob from damage: Do not load it unevenly and do not allow objects to fall onto it. Do not continue to use the appliance if either the hob or the housing is damaged. If this is the case, immediately remove the plug from the mains power socket and arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
- Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.
- If the surface of the hob is cracked, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket to avoid receiving an electric shock.
- Ensure that the appliance, the power cable, and the power plug are never immersed in water or other fluids.
⚠️ WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
- Do not touch the area when a hot cooking pot has just been standing. Directly after cooking, this area can be very hot.
- This appliance may be used by children of the age of 8 years or more and by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are being supervised or have been instructed with regard to the safe use of the appliance and have understood the potential risks.
- Children must not play with the appliance.
- Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless they are older than 8 years of age and are supervised.
- Children younger than 8 years must be kept away from the appliance and the power cable.
- Do not heat sealed cans or other sealed containers.
? Caution! Hot surface!
This symbol warns you not to touch the hob directly after use. Risk of burns!
⚠️ HAZARD for and through livestock and pets
You should therefore keep animals generally away from electrical appliances.
⚠️ WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
- Overheated foodstuffs can start burning! Never leave the appliance unsupervised while it is in use.
- Additionally, never position the appliance below flammable objects, especially not below curtains.
- Never heat a securely closed container. Heat expansion can quickly cause an explosion.
- Do not place any metallic objects, such as kitchen utensils or cutlery, on the hob. They can become very hot in the induction field.
- Be careful when heating small amounts of oil! Do not use a high power or temperature level. Otherwise, the oil can burn and catch fire! Never use water to extinguish burning oil! Smother the flames by covering them with a suitable lid or plate.
- Never operate the appliance on a metal table or other metallic surface. This may heat up and thus cause a fire. Or the appliance could become irreparably damaged.
- Never operate the appliance on a textile surface such as a tablecloth.
- Do not operate the appliance using an external time switch or a separate remote control system.
- The appliance is fitted with a ventilation fan on the bottom. Always ensure that a free air intake is guaranteed. Leave at least 10 cm space free around the appliance and 60 cm above it.
⚠️ To avoid hazards caused by electromagnetic fields:
- Maintain a minimum distance of 1 m from appliances that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (e.g., screens, clocks, magnetic storage media, electronic appliances, etc.).
- Medical devices such as pacemakers, hearing aids, and other devices may need to be kept at a greater distance. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of the medical device!
Function
Whilst standard hotplates heat up themselves, in an induction hotplate the heat is created in the base of the cookware. The hob itself does not heat up – it becomes hot when food is heated up on it in a pan and the heat from the pan reflects onto the hob (reverse heating).
This is caused by an energy field that generates heat only in magnetically conductive materials, for example, pans made of iron. In other materials, such as porcelain, glass, or ceramic, the energy field cannot generate any heating effect.
Suitable Cookware
Only use cookware that is suitable for induction hobs:
- Suitable cookware consists of pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. You can identify these either by means of the markings on the pan or by ascertaining whether a magnet clings to the base of the pan.
- Unsuitable cookware is made from any kind of non-magnetic metals, such as aluminium, copper, and stainless steel, as well as non-metallic pots made of porcelain, glass, ceramic, plastics, etc. If unsuitable cookware is placed on the hob 1, "E0" is shown on the display.
- Thin pan bases are better suited to induction cooking than thick sandwich bases. The very short response times to modifications in the settings (short preheating period, rapid and controllable browning) cannot be kept when pans with thick bases are used.
Only use cookware that is suitable for the size of the hob 1. This is the only way to ensure the fault-free functioning of the induction hob. The base of the pan may not be uneven; rather, it must sit flat.
The diameter may not be less than 12 cm to ensure that the energy field has an effect. Do not use pans with a diameter larger than 26 cm.
Energy-Efficient Cooking
In order to use the energy that is needed for heating food in the most environmentally friendly way, we recommend using a pan with a wide diameter and low height instead of a deep pan with a small diameter. The food is heated more quickly since the surface area of the pan being heated is greater with a large diameter. Never use pans with a diameter greater than 26 cm.
- If you want to heat food quickly, place a lid on the pan. This ensures that less heat escapes.
Setting Up
The appliance requires unrestricted ventilation to prevent overheating. Therefore, set up the appliance so that:
- There is an all-round clearance of at least 10 cm, e.g., to the nearest wall.
- At least 60 cm clearance above, e.g., to a suspended wall cabinet.
For cooling purposes, the appliance draws in air through openings on the base. Do not place it on textiles or fleecy surfaces, such as tablecloths. Operate it only on smooth surfaces.
- Do not place it adjacent to curtains or other textiles which, due to the airflow, could cling to the appliance.
- Do not place it on surfaces which may contain ferric or steel materials. These may become very hot.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 1 m from appliances that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (e.g., screens, clocks, magnetic storage media, electronic appliances, etc.).
Wipe the hobs with a damp cloth to remove soiling sustained during transportation.

NOTES:
You may select between cooking with power levels or cooking with temperature settings:
- When you are cooking in the temperature mode, the appliance heats the cooking pot to the set temperature. If the temperature falls below the set temperature, the appliance heats up again. The temperature is thus maintained at the desired level.
By adjusting the "power level", the cooking pot is heated at varying speeds. The higher the selected power level, the faster the cooking pot is heated.
If you do not place a suitable cooking pot on the hob 1 within 30 seconds or if you make some settings, the appliance will switch itself off and emit a signal tone.
4. Press the "+" 6 or "-" 7 buttons repeatedly until the required power stage is shown on the display 10. The MODE indicator lamp 14 lights up.
NOTE: Press the MODE button 9 to switch between the temperature or power stage modes. The MODE indicator lamp button 14 lights up.
- In the temperature stage mode, the preset temperature of 120 ℃ appears on the display 10. The "C" indicator lamp 12 lights up.
- In the power stage mode, the preset power level of 1000 watts appears on the display 10. The "P" indicator lamp 11 lights up.
5. To switch the hob 1 off, press the On/Off button 4. The On/Off indicator lamp 3 goes out.
*Please do not use the temperature mode for boiling water.
NOTE: If no button is pressed within a 2-hour period, the appliance will switch itself off even if the hob 1 is still working. If you wish to cook a dish for more than two hours, or to keep food warm for more than two hours, adjust the desired time using the timer (see the "Timer" section). In this way, times of up to 4 hours can be set.
6. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket if you no longer wish to use the appliance.
CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Only pull the mains plug out of the mains socket once the fans have stopped working, as the appliance might be damaged otherwise.
Safety Cut-off
For safety reasons, the pan detection automatically switches the appliance off (into standby mode) if you remove the cooking pot from the hob 1 or fail to place a cooking pot on it.
- If you remove the cooking pot from the hob 1, a signal tone will sound for approx. one minute. The appliance will then switch off. If you place the cooking pot back on the hob 1 within 1 minute, the previously defined settings will be retained.
NOTE: As soon as you remove the cooking pot from the hob 1, "E0" will be shown on the display 10. After approx. one minute, the "E0" disappears and the appliance switches itself off.
Timer
You can preselect a time period between 1 and 240 min., after which the hob 1 will switch off.
- Begin the cooking procedure (in power or temperature mode) as explained above.
- Press the TIMER button 8. "0" appears on the display 10. The indicator lamp "Time" 13 and the TIMER indicator lamp button 15 light up.
- Set the desired time:
When you short press the "+" 6 or "-" 7 button, the time increases or decreases by 1 minute. When you long press the button "+" 6 or "-" 7, the time increases or decreases by 10 minutes. The timer will start if no entries are made within 5 seconds.
The display 10 now alternately shows the set power level/temperature and the time remaining until switch-off.
After the expiration of the time, the cooking area 1 switches off automatically. You will hear a beep.
Child Lock
To prevent unauthorized switching on or setting modification, for instance by children, this appliance is fitted with a child safety lock.
NOTE: You can also use the child safety lock as a safe-wipe function: Before you wipe the buttons with a damp cloth, activate the child safety lock. This helps avoid any inadvertent activation of buttons.
- Press the child lock button 5 to switch the child lock on. You will hear a signal tone and the child lock indicator lamp 2 will light up.
- To switch the child lock off, hold the child lock button 5 for 3 seconds, you will hear a signal tone and the child lock indicator lamp 2 will go out.
