Overheating Hot cookware on the control panel or on the frame. Measure Monitor the cooking process. Remove immediately with a glass scraper. Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when it is cold. When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects fall onto the hob. Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Never use frozen cookware. Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. Do not place greaseproof paper or aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob. Never place hot cookware on these areas. ATTENTION A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob, do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling. There must be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point. 3Environmental protection and saving energy Environmental protection and saving energy 3.1Disposing of packaging The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately. 4 3.2Saving 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. Suitable cookwareen Lift lids as infrequently as possible. When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes. Using a glass lid You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption. Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. The more water there is in the cookware, the more energy that is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level early on. If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy. 4Suitable cookware 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 cook- ing zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter. 4.1Size 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. Cookware Recommended cookware Suitable Not suitable Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well. Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. The base is not fully ferromagnetic. Cookware bases that contain aluminium. Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium. Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently. 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 enFamiliarising yourself with your appliance 5Familiarising yourself with your appliance Familiarising yourself with your appliance 5.1Cooking with induction In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a series of changes and has a num- ber 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. 5.2Control panel Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ from the figure.
