Operation

The hob

Operation
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking hob. An induction
coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromag-
netic 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
and the power setting display will blink.
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 blink. 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.

Operation time limit

The appliance has an automatic time limit function. It prevents
the appliance from being in operation for a longer period of time.
The timer of the time limit function depends on the setting of the
cooking level: The higher the setting of the cooking level the
faster it switches off. The time limit function operates for each
cooking zone seperately.
Important! After switching off the cooking zone, a
in the display. The letter will remain. In order to acknowledge,
press any key of the respective cooking zone. This will be con-
firmed when a double signal sounds.

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. After 10 seconds the entire electronic system will
switch off and dashes will
device.
If you continue to press a sensor key after having set the highest
cooking setting, the electronics switch off automatically after
10 seconds.
The appliance does not automatically switch on again after a
power failure.
The hob is switched off if the electronics become overheated.
A row of dashes or "F7" will appear.

Protection against overheating

If the hob is used at full power for a lengthy period, the power
electronics may no longer be cooled to the necessary extent at
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.
If, during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature,
a row of dashes or "F7" will appear in the cooking setting display,
the cooling is probably 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.
