5  Familiarising yourself with your appliance

5.1 Cooking with induction

In comparison to conventional hobs, induction techno-
logy 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 clean-
ing and care. It also offers improved heat control as the
heat is generated directly in the cookware.

5.2 Control panel

Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ
from the figure.

Notes

¡

Always keep the control panel clean and dry.

¡

Do not place any cookware near the displays or
sensors. The electronics may overheat.
