General information

Cooking with induction technology
When cooking with induction technology, heat is
only generated by means of magnetic power, if a
pot or pan with a magnetisable base is placed on
a switched-on cooking zone. The induction cooker
heats only the base of the cooking utensils used,
not the cooking zone itself. Under the glass-ceram-
ics surface, the induction coil is located. If the coil
is supplied with electrical power a magnetic field
develops generating whirls in the pot's base. This
results in the heating of the base material. The
induction process saves energy as heat is solely
produced where it is needed.
What cooking utensils may I use?
For induction cooking plates cookware made from
magnetisable material is needed. Today, cooking
utensils appropriate for induction cooking usually
bear a note saying ‚Suitable for induction hob' or
similar.
But principally you may use any iron-based cook-
ing utensils; to find out whether a pot or pan is suit-
able, i.e., magnetisable just try the following:
Place the relevant cookware on the cooking plate.
The cookware is not suitable if a beep tone sounds
after selecting the cooking function and switching
the appliance on.
NOTE:
For safety reasons the appliance returns with
unsuitable cookware after approx. 1 minute to
standby mode.

Cooking utensils made of the following materi-
als are not suitable for induction hobs:
Clay, glass or aluminium.
Do not use the following types of pots:

vex/parabolic) than 12 cm.
bases.

Electrical Connection

Connected load/wattage
The hob can take up an overall load of 2000 W.
Because of this high connected load it is recom-
mended to use a separate connection protected
over a 16 A safety switch.
CAUTION: Overload!
Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets
as the power consumption of this device is too
high for these.
Connection
• Before inserting the mains plug into the socket
check whether the voltage which you intend to
use corresponds to that of the machine. Please
see the label on the machine for details.
• Only connect the machine to a correctly
installed safety socket, 220 – 240 V~ 50 Hz.

Operation

Standby mode:
After you have connected the device's plug to the
mains supply, the hub is in standby mode. A signal
sounds and the indicator lamp on the ON/STAND-
BY button (6) flashes. "S" for standby flashes on
the display.
Pots standing
