The induction principle An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.
Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed. – On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.
Pans Suitable pans include: – stainless steel pans with a magnetic base – enamelled steel pans – cast iron pans Unsuitable pans: – stainless steel pans without a magnetic base – aluminium an.
How the hob is operated The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds. In order to set or alter a power level or the time, the cooking zones and the timer must be "active".
Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. To switch the hob on ^ Touch the s sensor. 0 will appear in each of the cooking zone displays. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.
Power level range The appliance is delivered with 9 power levels programmed in. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range (see "Programming"). The intermediate setting will be represented by an illuminated dot next to the number.
Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest power setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart).
Continued cooking setting* Heat-up time in minutes and seconds (approx.) 1 0:1 5 1 . 0:1 5 2 0:1 5 2 . 0:1 5 3 0:2 5 3 . 0:2 5 4 0:5 0 4 . 0:5 0 5 2:0 0 5 .
Booster function The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance"). When activated, the power is boosted for 15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta.
To switch on the Booster ^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want. ^ Select a power level if you wish. ^ Touch the B I/II sensor. The indicator lamp for the Booster lights up, and h starts to flash in the cooking zone display. After a few seconds, h will light up constantly and the indicator lamp will go out.
Keeping warm function Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function ("h"). The "h" function is in between the "0" setting and the "1" setting. If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.
Switching off and residual heat indicators Switching off a cooking zone ^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want twice. A 0 will flash in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will then appear in the display.
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered covered – Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it. – Cook with as little water as possible. – Once food has come to the boil or the pan is hot for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.
The hob must be switched on to use the timer. The timer can be used for two different functions: – to set the minute minder – to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically. You can select a time from 1 minute ( 01 ) to 9 hours ( 9^ ). A time of up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes.
Minute minder To set the minute minder time Minutes Example: You want to set 15 minutes. ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Touch the m sensor. 00 will appear in the timer display. The 0 on the right will flash. Enter the tens first and then the units. ^ Touch the number on the numerical keypad which corresponds to the tens position (1 in this case).
Hours Whole hours are set by touching the relevant number on the numerical keypad. Half hours are set by touching the area between the relevant two numbers. Example: You want to set 2 hours 30 minutes. ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Touch the m sensor. 00 will appear in the timer display.
To change the minute minder time ^ Touch the m sensor. ^ Set the time you want, as described above. To delete the minute minder time ^ Touch the m sensor until 00 appears in the timer display.

Stop and Go Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all cooking zones in use to power level 1 . When Stop and Go activated, the cooking zone power levels and the setting of the timer cannot be altered and the hob can only be switched off.
Safety switch-off Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) and the power level is not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the relevant residual heat indicator will light up.
Overheating protection All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too .

With the help of the following notes, minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation can be put right without contacting the Service Department.
Problem Possible cause Remedy There is a strange smell or vapours when a new appliance is being used. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time. They are not harmful and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. The ß symbol flashes alternating with the power setting selected in the display of one of the cooking zones.
Problem Possible cause Remedy Power level 9 is automatically reduced if you select power level 9 on two linked cooking zones or extended zones at the same time. Operating both zones at power level 9 would exceed the permitted maximum power level for the two zones.
Problem Possible cause Remedy The sensors are over-sensitive or do not react at all. The sensitivity level of the sensors has changed. Make sure that there is no direct light (from the sun or from an artificial source) falling onto the hob and that the surrounding area is not too dark.
