HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Operating the fan speed manually
You can also operate the function manually. To do
that touch when the hob is active. This deactivates
automatic operation of the function and allows you
to change the fan speed manually. When you press
you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an
intensive level and press again you will set fan speed
to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan
again with fan speed 1 touch .
IMPORTANT!
To activate automatic operation of the function,
deactivate the hob and activate it again.
Activating the light
You can set the hob to activate the light automatically
whenever you activate the hob. To do so set the
automatic mode to H1 – H6.
IMPORTANT!
The light on the hood deactivates 2 minutes after
deactivating the hob.
IMPORTANT
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
WARNING!
Use the induction cooking zones with correct
cookware.
Cookware material:
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel,
the bottom made of multi-layer (with ‘induction-ready’
mark from the manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic,
porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
IMPORTANT
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick
and flat as possible.
Use of the cooking zones
IMPORTANT
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface
that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must be 125mm minimum.
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook with
the large cookware on two cooking zones at the same
time.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you are using one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the cookware is
made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you are using high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching is occuring.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan is operating.
The noises are normal and do not refer to any defects.
If unfamiliar with induction units please first compare the
operating sounds of a demonstration model at your retailer
before calling service. If a service call is placed and the
sounds are normal you will be charged for the visit.
Energy saving
ENVIRONMENT
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or
to melt it.
IMPORTANT
THE COOKING ZONE EFFICIENCY
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of
the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter than
the minimum receives only a part of the power generated
by the cooking zone. For the minimum diameters see the
Technical data chapter.
