YOUR INDUCTION HOB Introduction induction hob This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy, because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very low power level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring things to the boil very quickly.
SAFETY INDUCTION HOB What you should pay attention to • Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have been incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of precautions you should take.
Page 20
SAFETY INDUCTION HOB • The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking. • Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do not stand too close to the pan.
SAFETY INDUCTION HOB Temperature safety • A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that measures the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced automatically.
USING THE INDUCTION HOB Using the touch controls The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure. The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip.

USING THE INDUCTION HOB Clean The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn on. Safe The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any warmer than the pan.
Page 25
USING THE INDUCTION HOB Attention Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans: • the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry; • the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the use of too high a power level.
