Environmental protection and energy-saving

Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.

Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.

Tip: For frying pans, cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the pan base is usually smaller.

• The energy is targeted at the cookware.
  If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

• Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

• If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

• If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

• Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.

• Large cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

• More water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.

• For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is fundamentally different from traditional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the 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.
• Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction cooking zone stops the heat supply when you remove the cookware from the cooking zone without you having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example:

• Enameled steel cookware
• Cast iron cookware
• Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for induction cooking

You can find additional information on which items of cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter.

If you use the FlexZone as a single cooking zone, you can use larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone. You can find additional information about the positioning of the appliances under.

The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully ferromagnetic:

If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for cooking.

Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferromagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently.

Unsuitable cookware

Never use heat diffuser plates or cookware made of the following:

• Thin-walled normal steel
• Glass
• Clay
• Copper
• Aluminum

Composition of the cookware base

The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy.
You should preferably use cookware with a flat base because uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.

No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size

If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off.

Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base

Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not respond quickly enough and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, contact Customer Service.

Cookware detection

Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diameter of the pan base.

Automatic detection in the case of dual or triple cooking zones

These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of the cookware, the cooking zone automatically adapts to the single, double or triple cooking zone in such a way that the corresponding power level is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result.

Type of soil	Recommendation
Dry sugar Sugar syrup Milk Tomato spills Melted plastic film or foil	REMOVE IMMEDIATELY. Failure to remove these substances immediately can permanently damage the ceramic cooktop surface. Remove the soil with the glass scraper while the cooktop surface is still hot. Use a new, sharp razor in the glass scraper. Remove the cookware and turn off the cooking zone. Put on an oven mitt. Hold the glass scraper at 30° angle and scrape off the soil. Be careful not to gouge or scratch the glass ceramic surface. Push the soil off the heated area. Let the surface cool. Remove the residue and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Burned-on food soil Dark streaks Dark specks	Lay a damp paper towel or sponge on top of the soil for 30 minutes to soften the soil. Remove the soil with a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop cleaner or with the glass scraper. Rinse the cooktop surface and dry it.
Greasy spatters	Remove grease with a soapy sponge or cloth. Rinse the cooktop surface thoroughly and dry it. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: iridescent stain	Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave marks. Treat metal marks immediately after the cooktop surface has cooled off. Failure to do so makes removal very difficult. Clean the cooktop surface with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, clean the cooktop surface with a damp paper towel and a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®1, Soft Scrub®1 without bleach). Rinse the cooktop surface and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Hard water spots	Hot cooking liquids may drip or spill on the cooktop surface. The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains.
