4 Operation

4.1 The induction hob

The hob is equipped with an induction coo-
king mode. An induction coil underneath the
glass ceramic hob generates an electromag-
netic alternating fi eld which penetrates the
glass ceramic and induces the heat-enerating
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 gene-
rated directly in the container by means of in-
ductionv 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 re-
quired).
- Increased safety as the energy is only trans-
ferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
- Highly eff ective 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.

4.2 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. A blin-
king in the power level indicator points this
out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the coo-
king zone, the power setting will switch on
and the power setting indicator will light up.
The power supply will be cut off when the pan
is removed and the power setting indicator
will indicate a blinking
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.

diameter
190 x 210 mm
The base of pots and pans must be of a
certain diameter;
if it is not, the induction heat will not be swit-
ched on. Always place pots and pans in the
middle of a cooking zone in order to achieve
the best efficiency.
Important: The minimum diameter required to
activate the pan recognition device may vary
according to the type of pot or pan used !

4.3 Operation time limit

The induction hob has an automatic time limit
function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking
zone depends on the power level selected (see
chart).
This requires that the setting of a respective coo-
king zone is
If the operation time limit has been activated, the
cooking zone will switch off , a short signal will
sound and an H will appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the
operation time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only
switched off when the period of time of the auto-
matic switch-off device has expired (e.g. automa-
tic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level
9 is possible).

4.4 Other functions

If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the sa-
me time (e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto
a sensor key) no function will be activated.
The symbol or Er03 will blink and a time-
¯
limited continuous signal will sound. After a few
seconds the appliance will switch off. Please re-
move the item located in front of the sensor
keys.
To delete the symbol
key or switch the hob off and on.

4.5 Protection against overheating (induction)

If the hob is used at full power for a longer peri-
od, it will not be possible to cool down the
electronics system as required at a high room
temperature.
In order to ensure that no excessive tempera-
tures occur in the electronics system the power
of the cooking zones may be reduced automati-
cally. Should E2 / ER21 be displayed frequently
during normal use of the hob and at normal room
temperature, it is likely that cooling is not suffi-
cient.This may occur if kitchen units have no o-
penings. The installation may have to be che-
cked.
