BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Use of the touch buttons and slide control
Place the tip of your finger flat on a button or the slide control to achieve the best results. You do
not have to apply any pressure. The touch buttons only respond light pressure from a fingertip.
Do not operate the controls with any other objects.
Induction noises
A ticking sound
This is caused by the power limiter on the cooking zones. You may also hear a ticking sound at
lower cooking levels.
Pans make noise
Pans can make noise while cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the
pan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. This does not harm the pans or the
hob.
The fan makes noise
The appliance is equipped with a fan to extend the life of the electronics. If you use the appliance
intensively, the fan turns on to cool the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan
continues to operate for a few minutes after the hob is switched off.
Suitable pans
For induction cooking, a pan should have a thick flat bottom (at least 2.25 mm). Use pans made
of ferrous (magnetic) material or pans with a sandwich bottom. Other pans will not work as well.
Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic material are unsuitable.
Only use pans with a flat bottom. A hollow or convex bottom may impede the operation
of the boil-dry protection; the appliance may overheat. This can lead to damage. Damage
caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is not covered by the warranty.
Pans used on a gas hob are no longer suitable for induction cooking.
Be careful when using enamelled pans made of thin sheet steel! The enamel can be
damaged on a high setting if the pan is too dry. Excessively high power levels can easily
warp the bottom of the pan.
