As long as the indicator is on, there is a risk of burns from residual heat.
The induction cooking zones produce the heat necessary for the cooking process directly in the bottom of the cookware. The glass ceramic is heated by the heat of the cookware.
The indicators appear when a cooking zone is hot. They show the level of the residual heat for the cooking zones you are currently using:
- continue cooking,
- keep warm,
- residual heat.
The indicator may also appear:

• for the neighbouring cooking zones even if you are not using them,
• when hot cookware is placed on cold cooking zone,
• when the hob is deactivated but the cooking zone is still hot.

The indicator disappears when the cooking zone has cooled down.

Power management
If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones (connected to the same phase). The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.

• Cooking zones are grouped according to the location and number of the phases in the hob. Each phase has a maximum electricity loading (3700 W). If the hob reaches the limit of maximum available power within one phase, the power of the cooking zones will be automatically reduced.
• The heat setting of the cooking zone selected last is always prioritised. The remaining power will be divided between the previously activated cooking zones in reverse order of selection.

• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between the initially selected heat setting and the reduced heat setting.

• Wait until the display stops flashing or reduce the heat setting of the cooking zone selected last. The cooking zones will continue operating with the reduced heat setting. Change the heat settings of the cooking zones manually, if necessary.

Refer to the illustration for possible combinations in which power can be distributed among the cooking zones.

Hob²Hood
It is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infrared signal communicator. Speed of the fan is defined automatically on basis of mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.
For most of the hoods the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to hood user manual.

Operating the function automatically
To operate the function automatically set the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob. The hob recognizes temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.

Automatic modes

1. The hob detects the boiling process and activates fan speed in accordance with automatic mode.
2. The hob detects the frying process and activates fan speed in accordance with automatic mode.
3. This mode activates the fan and the light and does not rely on the temperature.

Changing the automatic mode

1. Deactivate the hob.
2. Press for 3 seconds. The display comes on and goes off.
3. Press for 3 seconds.
4. Press of the timer to select an automatic mode.

To operate the hood directly on the hood panel deactivate the automatic mode of the function.

Operating the fan speed manually
You can also operate the function manually.
To do that press when the hob is active. This deactivates automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually. When you press you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level and press again you will set fan speed to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with fan speed 1 press .
To activate automatic operation of the function, deactivate the hob and activate it again.

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.

• 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.

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.

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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in "Cooking zones specification". Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.

Refer to "Technical data".

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.

Simplified cooking guide
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.

Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the function:

The hood pictured below is for illustration purpose only.

Other remotely controlled appliances may block the signal. Do not use any such appliances near to the hob while Hob²Hood is on.
Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood function To find the full range of cooker hoods which work with this function refer to our consumer website. The Electrolux cooker hoods that work with this function must have the symbol .

CARE AND CLEANING

General information

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
