• The function activates when the total electricity
load in the appliance is exceeded.
• The function reduces the power of the cooking
zones to prevent a circuit overload.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones
changes between two levels.
HOB - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
COOKWARE
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct
marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a
part of the power generated by the cooking zone.

THE NOISES DURING OPERATION
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a
high power level and the cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
ÖKO TIMER (ECO TIMER)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking zone
deactivates before the count down timer sounds.
The difference in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the cooking
operation.
EXAMPLES OF COOKING APPLICATIONS
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone
and its consumption of power is not linear. When
