YOUR INDUCTION HOB Introduction 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 it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring dishes to the boil very quickly.
Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons The operation of the hob by means of the touch-sensitive buttons takes a while getting used to when you’re used to a different operation. For the best effect, place your finger tips flat on the buttons. You don't have to press hard.
How induction works A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the pan base. This induced current generates heat in the base of the pan. Easy The coil (1) in the hob (2) The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set.
The fan makes a noise The appliance is equipped with a fan in order to increase the service life of the electronic components. If you use the appliance intensively, the fan will be switched on and you will hear a buzzing noise. The fan may still make a noise after you have switched the appliance off.

Note Be careful with enamelled thin 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.
OPERATION Switching on and power setting 1. Press the key button. A single audio signal sounds. 2. Place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone. The APd registers a pan and a flashing ‘-’ appears in the display. If you don’t do anything else, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after 10 seconds.
OPERATION Residual heat indicator After a cooking zone has been used it may still remain hot for a while. As long as the cooking zone is still hot an “H” will be visible in the display. Boost You can use the ‘boost’ function to cook at the highest power level during a short period of time (max.10 minutes).
The Bridge induction zones can be linked to each other. This creates one large zone that can be used, for example, for the ASKO grill plate, the ASKO teppanyaki, a large fish pan or various pans on the same power.
OPERATION Switching off all cooking zones Press key button to switch off all the cooking zones at the same time. A single beep will be heard. The red childproof lock indicator next to the button will blink very slowly. • The induction hob is now in eco stand-by mode (see also ‘eco stand-by mode’).
OPERATION Did you know that After 30 minutes in the stand-by mode the hob will automatically switch to the eco stand-by mode to prevent unnecessary energy consumption. Child lock Your induction hob is equipped with a childproof lock that lets you lock the appliance.
