Energy-saving advice
■
■
■
■
■
■
Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Induction cooking

Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■
Saves time when boiling and frying.
Saves energy.
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
Heat control and safety – the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:
■
■
■
Cookware made from enamelled steel
Cookware made from cast iron
Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, refer to the section on
~ "Cookware check" .
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.
FP FP FP
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can find information on positioning cookware in the section on
~ "Flex Zone" .
Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:
■
If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■
The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.
Induction cooking en
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material from which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan.
■
■
■
■
■
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from: common thin steel glass earthenware copper aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a threelayer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.

When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.
Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.
For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be avoided.
To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.

Flex Zone
Flex Zone
You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the four positions that can be seen in the illustration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the three positions that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than one hotplate, place it starting on the upper or lower edge of the flexible cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two inductors and can be used independently of each other.
Select the required heat setting for each of the hotplates. Use only one item of cookware on each hotplate.
Recommendations
If the hob has more than one flexible cooking zone, place the cookware on top so that it covers only one of the flexible cooking zones.
Otherwise, the hotplates will not be activated as intended and the cooking result will not be satisfactory.
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent hotplates.

FlexPlus Zone
FlexPlus Zone
The hob has two FlexPlus cooking zones which are located between the two flexible cooking zones and which switch on in conjunction with the right- or lefthand flexible cooking zone. This means that larger cooking vessels can be used and better cooking results can be achieved.
Each FlexPlus cooking zone always switches on in conjunction with the right- or left-hand flexible cooking zone. It is not possible to switch them on independently of one another.
Notes regarding cookware
The cookware should be positioned centrally for good thermal detection and distribution.
The cookware should cover the side hotplate and the
FlexPlus cooking zone.
Depending on the size of the cookware, the flexible cooking zone can be activated as two independent hotplates or as one hotplate:

Frying Sensor
Frying Sensor
This function can be used to fry food while maintaining the suitable frying pan temperature.
The cooking zones that have this function are identified by the roasting function symbol.
Advantages when frying
■
■
The hotplate only heats up if this is required to maintain the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
The frying function reports when the empty frying pan has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
■
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
■ function does not activate correctly. You can use a splash guard to prevent splashes of grease.
Use suitable oil or fat for frying. If butter, margarine, extra virgin olive oil or lard is used, set heat setting
■
■
1 or 2.
Never leave a frying pan, with or without food, unattended when it is being heated.
If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be activated correctly.
■
■
■
■
Frying pans for the frying sensor
Frying pans specifically suited for use with the frying sensor are available. These optional accessories can be purchased from specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales service. Always quote the relevant reference number.

FlexPlus cooking zone only.
Z9417X2 teppan yaki. Recommended for the flexible cooking zone only.
Z9416X2 griddle plate. Recommended for the flexible cooking zone only.
These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you can fry food with only a small amount of oil.
Notes
■
The frying sensor has been configured specifically
■ for this type of frying pan.
Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Put the frying pan in the centre of the hotplate.
■
■
Using a frying pan of a different size or one that is poorly positioned on the flexible cooking zones may result in the frying sensor not being activated. See the section on

Teppan Yaki and Grill for the Flex Zone
¬
Grill
The Grill adapts to the Flex Zone. You can cook large and small quantities of meat, fish, fresh vegetables and bread with very little oil, healthily and easily. The grooved shape ensures that food absorbs less fat. The ease of operation makes it possible to grill dishes that look and taste like they have been cooked on a traditional grill. Add a little oil to the grill or the surface of the food to facilitate heat transfer.
«
Teppan Yaki
The Teppan Yaki enables you to cook meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, desserts and bread with very little oil, easily and healthily. The Teppan Yaki adapts perfectly to the Flex Zone. Direct contact with the plate and uniform heat transfer make it possible to retain the consistency, colour and succulence of the food when searing and browning.
The following table shows a selection of dishes and is arranged by food type. The temperature and the cooking time depend on the amount, the condition and the quality of the food.
Note: Set up the Flex Zone as a single cooking zone to ensure the function is activated correctly.

Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
