Function and the Way the
Induction Cooking Zone
Works
A copper wire induction coil is beneath the ceramic
glass cooking surface. This generates electromag-
netic fields, which act directly on the base of the
pots and pans and not, as with other heating up
methods, first heating the ceramic glass. This means
that the base of the pan is immediately heated up,
which saves time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated di-
rectly in the base of the pan the cooking zone itself
hardly warms up. It only receives the reflected heat
from the pan base.
Note:
If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone there is
no energy transfer (heating up) and therefore gives
protection against the cooking zones being switched
on accidentally.

A cooling fan is an integral part of this hob and
comes on automatically depending on the
temperature of the induction cooking zone.
The cooling fan works in two speed levels de-
pending on usage. The cooling fan will contin-
ue to run for a short period after the cooking
zone has been switched off.

The Digital Displays

Digits 1 to 9 and four different letters can appear in
the display.
• The digits show the cooking stage set.
1 = Lowest capacity
9 = Highest capacity
p = Power level
• The following letters and functions are displayed
for the cooking zones:
1
H = Residual Heat Display
Danger! Cooking zone still hot; it extinguishes
when the cooking zone has cooled down. This
display appears only if the cooking zone is
switched off.
a = Automatic heating-up (possible for all cook-
ing zones)
is lit, if the cooking zone is set to automatic heating-
up; (remains lit until the automatic feature switches
over to the set continued cooking stage).
- = Lights up when the automatic switch-off function
has been activated (also see "What to do if ...?").
1
f = Error display
flashes if the cooking zone is activated and
– no pan is on the cooking zone or
– unsuitable pots and pans are used
P = Power function
lights up when the Power function is activated.
The Power function supplies extra-high heating ca-
pacity. It can be activated for the front two cooking
zones.

Cooking Zone Safety
Cut-out
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a
certain time or if the heat setting is not changed, the
corresponding cooking zone switches itself off auto-
matically.
h appears in the ring display for all rings that are
switched on, and _ after they have cooled down.
The rings are switched off at:
• Heat setting 1 - 2
• Heat setting 3 - 4
• Heat setting 5
• Heat setting 6 - 9

If one or more cooking zones switch off before
the times indicated see section "What to do
if ...".
Cancelling the Safety Cut-out
To cancel the activated safety cut-out the appliance
must be switched off and then on again using the
ON/OFF I sensor field. After this the cooking zones
are again ready for use.
Switching Off for Other Reasons
Liquid that boils over onto the control panel causes
all cooking zones to switch off immediately.
If you place a wet cloth on the control panel it has
the same effect. In both cases the appliance has to
be switched on again using the mains switch I after
removing the liquid or cloth.
