Using an induction hob
The ceramic hob is scratch resistant, but:
■ do not use the cooking surface as a cutting
board;
■ never slide pans across the cooking
surface.
A grain of sand left behind could cause a
scratch that would be impossible to remove.
Lift up pans if you want to move them.
A tip: slide the bottom of the pan across a
damp cloth, before you put the pan on the
cooking surface. This will prevent grains of
sand or the like being transferred to the hob
surface.
Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate
that is switched on. While the hotplate is
protected and will switch itself off, the pan
will be extremely hot. The pan could be
damaged.
To learn the technique consult the cooking
tables on pages 26 and 27.
Settings and powers
The power can be set from 50 W to 2,8 kW.
See power setting table.

Setting 11 is for grilling. This setting is suitable
for frying meat. This would be far too fast at
setting 12, the milk based ingredients in the
margarine would burn before the margarine
melts.
The display shows the selected setting.
The settings you should select are shown in
the tables on pages 26 and 27.

USING YOUR HOB
Precautions you must take
■ Aluminium foil should never be used as a
container for the preparation of dishes (for
example aluminium deep freeze
containers). Aluminium foil will melt and
stick to your hob and can never be
removed.
■ The cooking surface must not be used for
storage.
■ Do not place any metal objects such as
knives and forks on the cooking area. They
could become hot.
■ Do not use the appliance below 5 °C.
■ Ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2.5 cm between the pan and the control
panel. If the pan is too close to the control
panel, this can affect the operation of the
appliance.
Two zones
Two zones, one behind the other, are
controlled by a single generator.
The advantage is that a high power can be
achieved for each zone. This is ideal when
bringing a dish quickly to the boil or for
sealing meat.
Fig. 4: Zones positioned one behind each other influence
each other
When both of two zones, one behind the other,
are switched on at the same time the power
will be shared between them automatically.
Up to setting 10 this has no effect.
If, however, you set a cooking zone at setting
11 or 12, you cannot set the other cooking
zone higher than setting 6 or 7.
Fig. 5: Zones positioned adjacent to one another can be
simultaneously set to level 12
Two zones next to each other will not
influence each other. Thus you can switch
them both to setting 12 at the same time.
You will hear a ticking noise if two zones, one
behind the other, are switched on at the same
time. This is caused by the hob switching
between the back and front zone.
