general information
how it works
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced
in the pan base. This induced current generates heat in the
base of the pan.
easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the
lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for
example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in
a bain-marie.
fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing
food to the boil is very quick.
Cooking food through takes just as long as for other types of
cooking.
The coil (1) in the hob
(2) generates a
magnetic field (3). By
placing a pan with an
iron base (4) on the
coil, a current is
induced in the base
of the pan.

protective devices
extra security
overheating protection
Three protective devices are fitted in the appliance to protect
against overheating.
The first protective device protects the electronics.
If the temperature of the electronics becomes too high, this
protective device comes into operation.
The appliance is switched off.
The fan continues to run, in order to cool the appliance
down.
Error message F7 appears in the display
(see page 15, "faults").
1 Press any button and the message disappears.
2 Switch the appliance on again.
3 Select a lower power level.
The second protective device protects your pans.
This protective device monitors the temperature of the glass
top. It is important that the bases of the pans are flat for this
protective device to work.
If the temperature of the glass top becomes too high, the
appliance automatically switches down to a lower power
level.
If this protective device is defective, there appear in the
display error messages F1 and F2 (for the front zones) or
F3 and F4 (for the rear and the double cooking zones).
Phone the service department if error messages F1, F2, F3,
F4, F5, F6, F8 or F9 appear in the display.
The third protective device protects against ‘catching fire’.
If you put an empty pan on, or one containing just a little oil,
the hob will measure that the heating process is going too
quickly.
The appliance automatically switches down to a lower
power level.
This lower power level cannot be seen in the display.
As soon as the top reaches the maximum temperature,
the appliance is switched off.
