hob.
For most of the hoods the remote system
is originally deactivated. Activate it
before you use the function. For more
information refer to the hood user
manual.
The function operates automatically
between H2 and H6. The hob is originally
set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you
operate the hob. The hob recognizes the
temperature of the cookware
automatically and adjusts the speed of
the fan. You can set the hob to activate
only the light by selecting H1.

If you change the fan speed
on the hood, the default
connection with the hob is
deactivated. To reactivate
the function, turn both
appliances OFF and ON
again.
Changing the modes
The modes change and adjust
automatically. If you are not satisfied with
the noise level / fan speed, you can also
switch between modes manually.

8. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking
zones with suitable
cookware.
Cookware material
•
correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, multi-layer
bottom (with a correct marking from a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction
hob if:
•
•
water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
ENGLISH
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean
and dry before placing on
the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than
the minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
8.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
•
•
crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
17
•
•
humming: you use a high power level.
clicking: electric switching occurs, the
pot is detected after you place it on
the hob.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
8.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the
cooking operation.
8.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting
of a zone and its consumption of power
is not linear. When you increase the heat
setting, it is not proportional to the
increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.

8.5 Hints and Tips for
Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the
function:
•
Protect the hood panel from direct
sunlight.
• Do not spot halogen light on the hood
panel.
• Do not cover the hob control panel.
• Do not interrupt the signal between
the hob and the hood (e.g. with the
hand, a cookware handle or a tall
pot). See the picture.
The hood in the picture is only
exemplary.
Keep the window of the
Hob²Hood infrared signal
communicator clean.
Other remotely controlled
appliances may block the
signal. Do not use any such
appliances near to the hob
while Hob²Hood is on.
