[. . . ] Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs. Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch Check pans. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off. ■ ■ Characteristics of the pan base The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy. 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. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically. Empty pans or those with a thin base Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. 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. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service. Pan detection Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan. ■ Cookware Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking; these may be made from: ■ ■ ■ enamelled steel cast iron special stainless steel induction pans. To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to its base. If more than one pan is placed on the hob, only one will be detected when switching it on. Cooking guidelines table The table below contains some examples. Power level Melting Chocolate, chocolate coating Butter, honey, gelatin Heating and keeping warm Stew (e. g. , lentils) Milk** Sausages heated in water** Defrosting and heating Frozen spinach Frozen goulash * Uncovered cooking ** Uncovered *** Turn frequently 3-4 3-4 1-2 1. -2. 1-2 12 Power level Slow cooking, simmering Potato dumplings* Fish* White sauces (e. g. , bechamel) Whipped sauces (e. g. , Bearnaise, Hollandaise) Boiling, steaming, sautéing Rice (with a double amount of water) Rice pudding Potatoes Pasta* Soups Vegetables Greens, frozen foods Cooked in a pressure cooker Stewing Meat roll Stew Goulash Bake / Fry with a little oil** Steaks, chops (plain or breaded) Beefsteak (3 cm thick) Chicken breast (2 cm thick)*** Hamburgers, meatballs (3 cm thick)*** Plain fish and fish fillet Breaded fish and fish fillet Prawns and shrimps Frozen meals (e. g. , stir-fries) Pancakes Omelette Frying** (150-200 g per serving with 1-2 l. of oil) Frozen foods (e. g. , French fries, chicken nuggets) Frozen croquettes Meat (e. g. , chicken pieces) Fish, vegetables or mushrooms, breaded or battered, e. g. , baby mushrooms Confectionery products (e. g. , fritters, fruit in batter) * Uncovered cooking ** Uncovered *** Turn frequently 8-9 7-8 6-7 6-7 4-5 6-7 7-8 5-6 4. -5. 4-5 1-2 3-4 Childproof lock The hob can be protected against being accidentally turned on, to ensure that children do not switch on the hotplates. Childproof lock With this function, the childproof lock automatically activates when a hob is switched off. Activating and deactivating All of the relevant information on the automatic childproof lock connection can be found in the Basic settings chapter. Activating and deactivating the childproof lock The hob should be turned off. The lock is now deactivated. 13 Powerboost function The Powerboost function can be used to heat large amounts of water more quickly than the power level Š. Note: If any hotplate is switched on when the Powerboost function is working, › and Š will flash on the hotplate display; the power level Š will then be set Š. The Powerboost function will be deactivated. To activate The hob must be switched on, but no hotplate should be working. 1. Press the symbol boostG. The › indicator lights up The function should be activated. The › indicator will no longer appear and the hotplate will return to the power level Š. Note: In certain circumstances, the Powerboost function may turn off automatically in order to protect the electronic components inside the hob. Time programming function This function may be used in two different ways: ■ ■ Once the time has elapsed The hotplate switches off. [. . . ] It is caused by the amount of energy transferred from the hob to the pan. The noise disappears or becomes faint when the power level is lowered. A crackling sound This noise occurs in pans which are made from different materials superimposed on one another. It is caused by the vibrations that occur in the adjoining surfaces of the different superimposed materials. [. . . ]
