ACCESSORIES
POTS AND PANS
OK
NO Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic
material which are suitable for use with induction hobs.
To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the
symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). A magnet may be used to check whether pots are magnetic. The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the diameter of the base do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.
MINIMUM DIAMETER OF POT/PAN BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING AREAS
100
EMPTY POTS OR POTS WITH A THIN BASE
Do not use empty pots or pans when the hob is on. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that constantly monitors the temperature, activating the "automatic off" function where high temperatures are detected. When used with empty pots or pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very quickly, and the "automatic off" function may be triggered with a slight delay, damaging the pot or pan. If this occurs, do not touch anything, and wait for all components to cool down. If any error messages appear, call the service centre.

FIRST TIME USE
POWER CONTROL
With the "Power control" function, you can set the maximum power level for the hob, based on your needs or on the capacity of your mains power supply. Once the maximum power has been set, the hob automatically adjusts the charge distribution to the different cooking zones and an acoustic signal will sound when the limit is reached. This setting can be used at any time and will remain until it is changed. At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power (nL). The maximum power level (nL) is printed on the identification plate on the bottom of the hob.
To set the hob power: Once the appliance is connected to the mains power, the power level can be set within 60 seconds. · Press and hold down the "+" control for 3 seconds. The display will read "PL".
OK
· Hold down the control until the last power setting is shown. · Use the "+" and " " controls to select the required power.
Available power settings are: 2.5 kW 4.0 kW 6.0 kW 7.4 kW.
OK
· Press to confirm.
DAILY USE
The selected power will remain in the memory, even in the case of a power outage. To vary power levels, disconnect the appliance from the mains power for at least 60 seconds, then reconnect it and repeat the steps above.
In case of error during the setting sequence, the display will show the "EE" symbol and an acoustic signal will be sounded. In this case, you will need to repeat the operation. If the error persists, contact the assistance service.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL ON/OFF
To switch the acoustic signal on/off: · Connect the hob to the power supply; · Wait for the switch-on sequence; · Hold down the "P" control on the first slider to the left, for 3 seconds. Any alarms set will remain active.

SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF To turn the hob on, press the power button for around 1 second, until the cooking zone display lights up. To turn the hob off, press the same button again, and all cooking zones will be deactivated. If no function is selected, the hob will automatically switch off after 10 seconds. If the hob is being used, switching it off will switch off all cooking zones, and the residual heat indicator, "H", will remain lit until all of the cooking zones have cooled.
POSITIONING 1. Locate the desired cooking zone, by referring to the position symbols at
the bottom of each slide touch screen. 2. Place the pan in the chosen area, making sure that it covers one or more of
the reference marks on the surface of the hob. 3. Do not cover the control panel symbols with the cooking pot.
Please note: In the cooking zones close to the control panel, it is advisable to keep pots and pans inside the markings (taking both the bottom of the pan and the upper edge into consideration, as this tends to be larger). This prevents excessive overheating of the touch pad. When grilling or frying, please use the rear cooking zones wherever possible.

MAX
The function automatically suggests an intermediate level by default. During use, if necessary, it is possible to move to a lower/higher level according to cooking progress, to optimise time and condition (e.g., boiling level of water).
IMPORTANT: Place the accessories as shown in the figure below, which shows how the accessory needs to be centred according to the points marked on the glass surface (the combination illustrated is just an example; accessories can also be used in different cooking zones).
PAN FRYING*
The ideal function for pre-heating a pan when empty or with a small amount of fat. The temperature reached is ideal for cooking foods with a thickness of over 2-3 cm and which ned to cook for longer, or using butter or lard.
The ideal function for pre-heating a pan when empty or with a small amount of fat. The temperature reached is ideal for cooking foods with a thickness of less than 3 cm and which need to cook for short periods.
The ideal function for pre-heating a pan with fat (oil) up to a maximum height of 1 cm.
OK
In all three cases, at the end of the heating stage for the pan or the oil, the control will switch on and an acoustic signal will be sounded. The hob stabilises the temperature and keeps it at a constant.
OK
Pressing the control will confirm that the food is going to be placed in the pan and the special function then passes to the cooking stage. We recommend preparing the food during heating and to place it in the pan as soon as the ok is given. The optimum condition is one that uses the function starting with the pan and fat at toom temperature.
MELTING This is a function to take the food to the ideal temperature for melting and to maintain this condition without the risk of burning. It is ideal because it does not damage delicate foods such as chocolate and also makes sure that they do not stick to the pan.
SLOW COOKING
A specific function to take foods to the ideal simmering and cooking temperature, and to maintain these conditions without the risk of burning the food. It is ideal because it does not damage food and also makes sure that it does not stick to the pan. The quality and type of cookware, like the position, may affect the results or the cooking time (always centre the pan on the activated cooking zone).
BOILING*
A function to heat water efficiently and to issue a sound or visual signal when it starts to boil. To start the boiling function, the pan needs to contain at least one litre of water. Only add salt, if necessary, after hearing the acoustic signal. The system will keep the water at a slow boil, which prevents any splashing and also any wasting of energy. During this function, an acoustic signal will inform you if the pan is empty or the water has evaporated.
GRILL*
Ideal grilling function. It is possible to choose between two types of grill function (1 or 2 dots) according to the required cooking level. For a thick food (>1 cm), we recommend using a lighter grill setting (1 dot) that cooks for longer. For thinner food or for a higher grill setting, we recommend using the the 2-dot setting.
OK
Once the ideal temperature for adding food has been reached, the control will switch on and an acoustic signal will be sounded. The hob stabilises the temperature and keeps it at a constant.
OK
Pressing the control will confirm that the food is going to be placed in the pan and the special function then passes to the cooking stage. We recommend preparing the food during heating and to place it in the pan as soon as the ok is given.
* For these functions, the use of dedicated accessories is recommended: · for boiling: WMF SKU: 07.7524.6380 · for Moka, Bialetti: MOKA INDUZIONE 3TZ ANTRACITE · for pan frying: WMF SKU: 05.7528.4021 · for grilling: WMF SKU: 05.7650.4291

SOUNDS PRODUCED DURING OPERATION
Induction hobs may whistle or creak during normal operation. These noises actually come from the cookware and are linked to the characteristics of the pan bottoms (for example, when the bottoms are made from different layers of material or are irregular).
These noises may vary according to the type of cookware used and to the amount of food it contains and are not the symptom of something wrong.
