4 Hob operation
4.1 The induction hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode.
An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob
generates an electromagnetic alternating fi eld which
penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-
generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer
transferred from a heating element through the cooking
pot into the food being cooked; instead the necessary
heat is generated directly in the container by means of
induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
• Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer
of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of
magnetisable material are required).
• Increased safety as the energy is only transferred
when a pot is placed on the hob.
• Highly eff ective energy transfer between an induction
cooking zone and the base of a pot.
• Rapid heat-up.
• The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only
heated through the pan base; food which boils over
does not stick to the surface.
• Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
4.2 Pan recognition
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan
on the zone or if the pan is too small, there will be no
transmission of power. A blinking in the power level
indicator points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the power setting will switch on and the power setting
indicator will light up. The power supply will be cut off
when the pan is removed and the power setting indicator
will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of
smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches
on, less power will be supplied.

The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter;
if it is not, the induction heat will not be switched on.
Always place pots and pans in the middle of a cooking
zone in order to achieve the best effi ciency.
Important: The minimum diameter required to activate the
pan recognition device may vary according to the type of
pot or pan used!
4.3 Operation time limit
The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone
depends on the power level selected (see chart).
This requires that the setting of a respective cooking
zone is not adjusted during use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking
zone will switch off , a short signal will sound and an H will
appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation
time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when
the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has
expired (e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and
cooking level 9 is possible).

4.4 Other functions
If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time
(e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no
function will be activated.
An acoustic signal sounds and ER03 will appear. After a
few seconds the appliance will switch off . Please remove
the item located in front of the sensor keys.
4.5 Protection against overheating (induction)
If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will
not be possible to cool down the electronics system as
required at a high room temperature.
In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur
in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones
may be reduced automatically. Should E2 or ER21 be
displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and
at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is
not suffi cient. This may occur if kitchen units have no
openings.
The installation may have to be checked (see the section
on Ventilation).
