Siemens iQ700 EX8 HVC Series, iQ700 EX851HVC1E - Induction Hob Manual

Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable. Refer to → "Cookware test" for more details.

Cookware	Materials	Properties
Recommended cookware	Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
	Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
Suitable	The base is not fully ferromagnetic.	If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
	Cookware bases that contain aluminium.	These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable	Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes

• Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
• Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

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
A 18 cm diameter	Power level 9 powerBoost	2000 W 3100 W
B Ø 14.5 cm	Power level 9 powerBoost	1600 W 2200 W
C 24 cm diameter	Power level 9 powerBoost	2500 W 3700 W
D	Power level 9 powerBoost	2200 W 3700 W
D	Power level 9 powerBoost	3300 W 3700 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
	Flex Zone → "flexInduction"

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.

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.

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.

Cooking tips

• When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.
• To preheat, set the power level 8-9.
• When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power level as soon as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not affected by the steam escaping.
• After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you serve the dish.
• To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the optimal cooking time.
• Ensure that the oil does not smoke.
• To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after the other.
• Some items of cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. You should therefore use oven gloves.
• You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking under →"Saving energy"

flexInduction

The flexible cooking zone allows you to position cookware of any shape or size any way you like. It consists of four inductors that work independently of each other. When the flexible cooking zone is in use, only the area that is covered by cookware is activated.

Positioning the cookware

The flexible cooking zone can be configured in two ways, depending on which cookware is used. In order to guarantee good thermal detection and heat distribution, we recommend positioning the cookware in the centre, as shown in the figures.

As a connected cooking zone
Recommended for cooking with just one item of cookware.

• Position the cookware depending on the size:
  
• Recommended oblong cookware
  

As two separate cooking zones
Recommended for cooking with two items of cookware.
You can use the front and rear zone independently of one another, and set a separate power level for each zone.

Switching on flexInduction

1. Place the cookware on the cooking zone.
2. The appliance detects the cookware and selects the cooking zone.
   The cooking zones split or connect automatically depending on the size and position of the cookware.
   If the flexible zone is separated, lights up more brightly.
