3.3 How Induction Hobs Function

Induction hobs operate differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. Induction coils beneath the glass ceramic plate generate a rapidly changing magnetic field that directly heats the magnetic base of the cookware. The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the energy supply. Induction hobs are:

Cookware with a full-surface or full magnetic base is required for cooking with an induction hob.

3.4 Pan Detection

Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection, which identifies suitable induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base.

3.5 Flexible Cooking

In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones. Pans with different diameters can be placed on any cooking zone. The area must, however, be covered for pan detection.

3.6 Cookware

Suitable Cookware

Only cookware with a magnetic base (ø12.5–22 cm, centre ø18–28 cm) is suitable for use with the induction hob. This can be tested in the following ways:

Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like, as this can damage the hob.

Sandwich base[Good][Good][Good][Good][Good][Good][Good]
Capsule base[Good][Good][Good][Good][Good][Good][Good]

Key:

For even frying, the pan must be centred on the cooking zone. The diameter of the base of the pan should not be greater than the diameter of the cooking zone. If a large pan covers both circles, both heating zones can be switched on together with the bridging function.

General Notes on Cookware

Energy-Efficient Cooking

For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution, note the following:

Coated Cookware

Noise During Cooking

Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any malfunction, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way. Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturbance, changing the cookware can help.

3.7 OptiGlass

Hobs with OptiGlass have an additional coating on the glass surface. This coating makes the surface harder, tougher, and more scratch-resistant than non-coated glass surfaces. Follow care and maintenance instructions.

Under normal circumstances, significantly fewer scratches should occur on the glass surface during cooking. However, even a sharp grain of sand or particle of grit, for example, under a pan can cause scratches.

4 Operation

Illumination

Halogen or LED light bulbs are recommended for illuminating hobs with the OptiGlass coating. The use of fluorescent tube lighting to illuminate hobs with the OptiGlass coating causes the glass surface to shimmer.

4.1 Switching the Appliance On and Off

4.2 Selecting a Cooking Zone

Touch the [Slider] for the required cooking zone or swipe it to set the power level.

4.3 Switching a Cooking Zone Off

Touch the '0' power level on the slider or swipe '0'. If no other input is made and the other cooking zones are switched off, the appliance switches off after 10 seconds.

4.4 Residual Heat Indicator

After a cooking zone is switched off, the [H] indicator remains illuminated as long as there is a risk of burns. If the hob is switched on, the [H] and [Indicator] indicators alternate in the display if cookware is standing on a cooking zone that has residual heat. The [H] indicator illuminates if no cookware is standing on a cooking zone with residual heat.

8Flash fryingSteak
9Fast heatingBoiling water

4.6 Melting Function

With the [Melting] function, butter, chocolate, or honey, for instance, can be gently melted at approx. 40 °C.

4.7 Keep Warm Function

The [Keep warm] function keeps cooked food warm at approx. 65 °C.

4.8 Simmer Function

With the [Simmer] function, sausages, dumplings, and stuffed pasta, for instance, can be cooked in hot water, just below boiling point.

The precision of the simmer function depends on the cookware used. Water can start to boil. If this is the case, we recommend leaving the pan lid off when using the simmer function. For locations over 1,500 meters above sea level, it is generally recommended to leave the pan lid off when using the simmer function.

4.9 PowerPlus

All cooking zones are equipped with the [PowerPlus] booster. When [PowerPlus] is switched on, the selected cooking zone operates at extra high power for 10 minutes. [PowerPlus] can be used, for instance, to heat a large quantity of water quickly.

Power Management

PowerPlus cannot be used with both cooking zones of a group (A or B) simultaneously. If PowerPlus is activated with both cooking zones of a group, the power output is reduced for the cooking zone that was first selected. Cooking zone 5 can be operated with PowerPlus independently of groups A and B.

*Maximum available power level with cooking zones.

If the power level is increased above these levels, PowerPlus switches off.

4.10 Bridging Function

The bridging function allows two individual cooking zones lying one behind the other to be switched on together and adjusted together.

4.11 Automatic Boost

[Warning] Do not leave the hob unattended when using the automatic boost. Risk of food boiling over, burning on, and igniting!

All cooking zones are equipped with a selectable automatic boost. With this function, a cooking zone heats at power level 9 for a specific duration (see table), then automatically switches back to the set power level. The automatic boost function must be activated anew each time a cooking zone is switched on.

Power level12345678
Automatic boost in mins.:secs.0:4001:1502:0003:0004:1507:1502:0003:15

If a higher power level is selected during the automatic boost, the duration will change automatically.

4.12 Operating Time

[Warning] Do not leave the hob unattended during use. Risk of boiling over, burning on, and igniting!

With the operating time function, a cooking zone switches off automatically after a set time (1 min. – 1 hrs. 59 mins.).

4.13 Timer

The timer functions like an egg timer (1 min. – 9 hrs. 59 mins.). It can be used at any time and independently of all other functions.

4.14 Childproof Lock

The childproof lock prevents the appliance from being accidentally switched on. The timer can also be used when the childproof lock is activated.

4.15 Restore Function

If the appliance has been inadvertently switched off with the [Appliance ON/OFF] button, the settings that were being used can be restored within 6 seconds.

4.16 Pause Cooking

After pause cooking, operation can be resumed using the previous settings.

If the pause cooking function is not turned off within 10 minutes, the appliance switches off completely.

4.17 Wipe Protection

This function prevents the power level from being changed accidentally, for instance when wiping the control panel with a cloth.

5 OptiLink

5.1 Connecting the Hob to the Range Hood

The hob can only be connected to a range hood with the OptiLink function.

If a connection between the hob and the range hood was successfully established, it must be confirmed on the hob as follows: Hold the [OptiLink button] depressed for 2 seconds. The setting is saved and the user settings are closed. The appliances are connected and OptiLink is active.

5.2 Deactivating OptiLink

Terminating the connection between the range hood and the hob:

See the operating instructions for the range hood for terminating OptiLink.

With the appliance switched off, simultaneously hold the [Plus button] and [Minus button] depressed for 2 seconds. An acoustic signal is emitted. Touch both sliders left of display 3. An acoustic signal is emitted. The indexed user setting, e.g. P0, appears in display 3. The current user setting value is shown in display 2.

Use the [Plus button] to select the next highest and the [Minus button] the next lowest user setting. Touch the left or right side of the active slider 1 to select a higher or lower setting value.

7 Care and Maintenance

Ideally, clean the appliance when it has completely cooled down. [Warning] Burns Hazard!

Always clean the hob after use. This prevents food residue from burning on. Dried-on or burned-on food residue is harder to clean off. Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings or surface.

Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive cleaning agents, scouring pads, wire wool, etc., as they can damage the surface.

Cleaning

For good results, follow these cleaning instructions:

7.1 Cleaning Agent

Glass Ceramic with OptiGlass

[Warning] Unsuitable cleaning agents may attack and damage the coating.
