							• The function divides the powerbetween cooking zones.
• The function activates when the total electricity loading of the cooking
zones exceeds 3700 W.
• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between twolevels.5.  HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  CookwareFor induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct:  cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark
from a manufacturer).
• not correct:  aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically to some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a smaller diameter than
the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.Refer to “Technical
information” chapter.5.2  The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level. • clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.
5.3  Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The differencein the operation time depends on theheat setting level and the length of thecooking operation.
5.4  Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase

							the heat setting, it is not proportional to
the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power. It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.The data in the table is for
guidance only.Heat settingUse to:Time

Refer to Safety chapters.6.1  General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean
bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surfacehave no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.ENGLISH13     
						

							6.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately:  melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar. If not, the dirt can cause damage to
the hob. Take care to avoid burns. Put the special scraper on the glass
surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool:  limescale rings, water rings, fatstains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the hob with a moist cloth and
non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft
cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic
discoloration:  use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a moist cloth.7.  TROUBLESHOOTINGWARNING!
