Distribution of the cooking zones

The specified power has been measured with the standard pots which are described in IEC/EN 60335-2-6. The power may vary depending on the size of the cookware or cookware material.

Area	Highest setting
21 cm diameter	Power level 9 powerBoost	2500 W 3700 W
21 x 38 cm	Power level 9	3600 W

At power level 9, the hob reaches the power indicated in the table in order to reduce the preheating times and keeps them running for a certain time, provided the other cooking zone on the same side is not in use.

Cooking zone

Before you start cooking, check whether the size of the cookware fits the cooking zone that you want to use for cooking:

Area	Cooking zone type
	Single-circuit cooking zone
	Combi cooking zone

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. Do not touch the cooking zone if the residual heat indicator is lit.

Display	Meaning
	The cooking zone is hot.
	The cooking zone is warm.

Saturation indicator

The hob is equipped with a saturation indicator. When the anti-odour filters are saturated, lights up and the filter must be replaced.
→ "Odour filter or acoustics filter".

Software update

Operating modes

You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or circulating-air mode.

Air extraction mode

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.

The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

• If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
• If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external wall, a telescopic duct should be used.

Air recirculation

The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the room.

To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you must install an odour filter. The different options for operating the appliance in air circulation mode can be found in our catalogue. Alternatively, ask your dealer. The required accessories are available from specialist retailers, from our after-sales service or from the online shop.
Note: When cooking intensively and for a long time, moisture is released into the air in the room. When using the appliance in air recirculation mode, we recommend ventilating the kitchen adequately, e.g. by briefly opening a window to remove excessive moisture.

Before using for the first time

Observe the following recommendations.

Initial cleaning

Remove any leftover packaging from the hob surface and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You can find a list of recommended detergents on the official website siemens-home.bsh-group.com.
More information on care and cleaning.

Preparing the appliance

To ensure correct operation, you must arrange the components in this order:

1. Insert the filter.
2. Insert the metal grease filter.
   Note: Never operate the appliance without the metal grease filter and the overflow container.

Cooking with induction

In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly in the cookware.

Cookware
