Operation

The hob

The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.

With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food being cooked; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.

Advantages of the induction hob

–Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are required).

–Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.

–Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pot.

–Rapid heat-up.

–The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to the surface.

–Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

Pan recognition

If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone or if the pan is too small, there will be no transmission of power. A blinking in the cooking level display points this out.

If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power setting will switch on and the power setting display will light up. The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the power setting display will indicate a blinking .

If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power will be supplied.

Operating time limit

The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.

The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use.

If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the display.

The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g. auto- matic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 9 is possible).

Other functions

If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will be activated.

The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please remove the item located in front of the sensor keys.

To delete the symbol press the same key or switch the hob off and on.

Protection against overheating (induction)

If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be possible to cool down the electronics system as required at a high room temperature.

In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically.

Should E2 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not sufficient.

The reason may be that there are no openings for cooling purposes in the kitchen units or that there is no insulation. It may be necessary to check the installation of the hob.
