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 magne-
tisable 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-ceramics
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 magneti-
sable 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 cooking utensils; to
find out whether a pot or pan is suitable, i.e., magnetisable just
try the following:
Position the cookware. If several warning signals sound and if
the message "– – –" appears, the cookware is unsuitable.
NOTE:
For safety reasons, the appliance will switch to standby mode
after about 15 seconds.
Cooking utensils made of the following materials are not
suitable for induction hobs:
Clay, glass or aluminium.
Do not use the following types of pots :
Pots with bended Pots with a base
(convex/parabolic) diameter of less than
bases. 12 cm.

Electrical Connection

Connected load/wattage
The hob can take up an overall load of 2000 W. Because of
this high connected load it is recommended 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.
• The appliance has a fine sensor. A light touch of the control
panel with the finger is sufficient. Use the finger, not the tip
of the finger.
• Each registered touch is confirmed by a beep.
• In the event that the appliance does not react when you
press the buttons, clean the control panel with a soft, dry
cloth. Even a thin film of water can make the operation
difficult.
• Ensure that the control panel is always clean and dry and
that it is not covered by objects of any kind.
Standby mode
After you have connected the device's plug to the mains supply,
the hub is in standby mode. A signal will sound. The indica-
tor light above the
display will show "– L –" for "LOW" (low temperature).
• Put a suitable pot on the cooking zone.
