• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between two levels.
  

HINTS AND TIPS

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.

Refer to "Technical data".

The noises during operation

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer to hob 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 you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.

Heat setting	Use to:	Time (min)	Hints
- 1	Keep cooked food warm.	as necessary	Put a lid on the cookware.
1 - 3	Hollandaise sauce, melt: butter, chocolate, gelatine.	5 - 25	Mix from time to time.
1 - 3	Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked eggs.	10 - 40	Cook with a lid on.
3 - 5	Simmer rice and milkbased dishes, heat up ready-cooked meals.	25 - 50	Add at least twice as much liquid as rice, mix milk dishes halfway through the procedure.
5 - 7	Steam vegetables, fish, meat.	20 - 45	Add a couple of tablespoons of liquid.
7 - 9	Steam potatoes.	20 - 60	Use max. ¼ l of water for 750 g of potatoes.
7 - 9	Cook larger quantities of food, stews and soups.	60 - 150	Up to 3 l of liquid plus ingredients.
9 - 12	Gentle fry: escalope, veal cordon bleu, cutlets, rissoles, sausages, liver, roux, eggs, pancakes, doughnuts.	as necessary	Turn halfway through.
12 - 13	Heavy fry, hash browns, loin steaks, steaks.	5 - 15	Turn halfway through.
14	Boil water, cook pasta, sear meat (goulash, pot roast), deep-fry chips.
	Boil large quantities of water. PowerBoost is activated.

CARE AND CLEANING

Refer to Safety chapters.

General information

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.

Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.
