4.2 Use of the touch control
The sensor buttons respond to touches, so you do not need to press them. Touch the sensors with the bottom side of your top phalanx but not with your
fingertip (see figure below).
68
You will hear a beep after each effective input. Always keep the touch control clean and dry. Cooking utensils and cloths should
not cover the touch control. A thin water film may already complicate operating the sensors.
4.2.1 Before initial use Clean the glass ceramic (look at chap. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE). NOTICE! Ensure that the complete packaging material has been removed before initial operation.
4.2.2 Suitable cookware Use induction-suitable cookware only. Check the induction symbol on the packaging or the base of the cookware. Check the suitability with a magnet. When the magnet is attracted by the base, the cookware is suitable. If you have not got a magnet: a. Pour some water into the cookware which is to be checked. b. Follow the steps described in chapter 4.4 HOW TO START COOKING. c. When does not flash on the display and the water is heated up, the cookware is suitable.
69
COOKWARE MADE OF THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS IS NOT SUITABLE:
pure stainless steel. aluminium and copper without a magnetic base.
glass, wood, china, ceramic und earthenware/pottery.
and earthenware.
Size of burner (diameter/mm) 160 180
The minimum cookware (diameter/mm) 120 140
70
Do not use cookware with sharp or serrated edges or a coarse and uneven base.
The base of your cookware should be flat, contact the glass ceramic completely and have the same diameter as the relevant cooking zone. Always centre the cookware on the cooking zone. Cookware with a diameter of less than 140 mm can be undetected by the appliance.
Always lift your cookware when you want to move it on the glass ceramic. Do not push cookware as you may scratch the glass ceramic.
4.3 How to start cooking
Caution! Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be needed to handle such utensils.
NOTICE! Only use cookware which is suitable to be used on an induction hob; otherwise, you will damage the appliance.
When the power is on, a beep sounds once; all indicators display « the appliance has entered STAND-BY MODE.
» Now
Each cooking zone has 9 power levels (1 – 9; setting « 0 »15 = cooking zone does
not heat). You can set the power levels of the cooking zones individually. Always set the appliance according to your respective cooking requirements.

71
HOW TO START A COOKING PROCESS
1. Touch the « ON / OFF » – SENSOR. All indicators display « ».
2. Place a cookware on the desired cooking zone. Always keep the bottom of the cookware as well as the cooking zone clean and dry.
3. Select a cooking zone using the sensors for the SELECTION OF THE COOKING ZONES: e.g., cooking zone 1.
4. The indicator next to the sensor flashes. The selected cooking zone is activated.
5. Select a heat setting by touching the `slider’ control .
·If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the induction hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 1. ·You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking.
6. The selected power level is displayed next to the
cooking zone indicator: e.g., « 5 ».
72
Only one cooking zone is activated: if you do not set a power level within 5 seconds after activating this cooking zone, the induction hob switches off automatically. You must start at step 1 again.
7. You can vary the power level at any time during cooking.
THE DISPLAY INDICATES THE SYMBOL AND THE INDICATOR OF THE POWER LEVEL ALTERNATELY:
a) you have not placed the cookware on the correct zone
OR
b) you use unsuitable cookware
OR
c) you use unsuitable cookware
OR
d) you use cookware which is too small or not centred on the cooking zone properly.
While using unsuitable cookware, the cooking zone does not heat up. The display goes off after 1 minute automatically even if you have not placed suitable cookware on the cooking zone. 4.3.1 « Boost »-function (accelerated heating) Your induction hob is equipped with a « BOOST » – FUNCTION (accelerated heating). The « BOOST » – FUNCTION enables one cooking zone to operate with higher power (9+) for 5 minutes. This allows a faster and more powerful cooking.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE « BOOST » – FUNCTION
1. Touch the « ON / OFF » – SENSOR.
73
2. Place a cookware on the desired cooking zone. Always keep the bottom of the cookware as well as the cooking zone clean and dry.

5. Environmental protection
Environmental protection: disposal
Appliances bearing this symbol « » must not be disposed of together with household waste throughout the EU. To prevent potential damage to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources, responsibly supply the appliance to a recycling centre.
81
Energy saving
Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to1/3 of electric energy. Remember
to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise, you will use four times as much energy! Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate. Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean. Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products, which will damage the environment, only. Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!). Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking temperature is reached. Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy. Minimise the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times. Select a high-power level when you start cooking. Reduce the power level when your food has been heated up. You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones18 for saving energy when starting a new cooking procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot. The level 9 can only last for 10 mintutes, after that the zone will go down automatically for saving energy .
5. Cooking guidelines
WARNING! Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up very fast especially when operating a high-power level. Extremely hot oil and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.
WARNING! NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water but switch off the appliance and then cover flame (e.g., with a lid or a fire blanket).
Caution! Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be needed to handle such utensils.
NOTICE! Only use cookware which is suitable to be used on an induction hob; otherwise, you will damage the appliance.
18 Depending on model.
82
SIMMERING / COOKING OF RICE
Simmering is cooking with a temperature of approx. 85 0C. At this temperature small bubbles ascend to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is a perfect way to cook delicious soups and stews as the flavours of the food unfold completely without being over-heated. You should also cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour in this way.
Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorptionmethod (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.
STEAKS
1. Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for approx. 20 minutes.
2. Heat up a pan with a heavy base. 3. Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot
pan and place the steak into the pan. 4. Turn the meat just once while cooking. The exact cooking time depends on the
size of your steak and your individual preferences (medium, medium rare etc.). So, the cooking time of each side may vary from 2 to 8 minutes. Press the steak to check the cooking result – a firm steak is well done. 5. Leave the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes; so it will become tender.
ASIAN-STYLE COOKING
1. Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan. 2. Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking
should work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide the food into several portions. 3. Preheat the wok/pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil. 4. Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm. 5. Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the power level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce. 6. Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot. 7. Serve immediately.
83
6.1 Power levels
The power levels given in the following table are guidelines only. They depend on the quality of food, the amount of food to be cooked, the used cookware, etc.
