FAQs
What type of cookware can I use?
You must use induction-compatible cookware. Look for the induction symbol on the bottom of your pans, or test with a magnet – if the magnet sticks, it's compatible.
How do I clean the hob?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface after each use. For stubborn stains, use a ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the CombiZone?
The CombiZone feature allows you to combine two cooking zones into one larger zone, perfect for oversized cookware.
What is the PowerBoost function?
PowerBoost provides a short burst of extra power to a cooking zone for faster heating, ideal for boiling water or quickly heating up food.
What happens if there's a power outage while the hob is in use?
The hob will shut down. Once power is restored, the hob will restart, and the ReStart function will allow you to resume your previous settings.
How do I use the ChildLock?
Press and hold the ChildLock button to lock the control panel and prevent children from accidentally changing the settings. Repeat to unlock.
What is the ReStart function?
If you turn off the cooktop, it saves the last selected setting for a short time. If the cooktop is switched off within a short time again the former settings are still available.
Where can I find the model number?
The model number, PWP611BB5B, is located on a label on the underside of the hob and on the product packaging.
Troubleshooting
Hob won't turn on.
Check the power supply. Ensure the hob is properly plugged into the socket and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the hob has power, but does not turn on, it may have an internal fault.
Cooking zones are not heating.
Make sure you are using induction-compatible cookware. Check that the cookware is properly placed on the cooking zone. Verify that the power level is set correctly.
Hob displays an error code.
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. In many cases, turning off and on the hob will reset the error. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
Cookware is not heating up quickly.
Make sure the cookware base is completely flat and making full contact with the hob's surface. Use the PowerBoost function for faster heating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Electrical Connection: Ensure that the power outlet is properly grounded and meets local electrical safety standards.
Compatibility
- Cookware: This hob is compatible with induction-ready cookware only. Check the bottom of your pots and pans for the induction symbol (a coil). If a magnet sticks to the bottom, the cookware is induction-compatible.
- Power Supply: This hob operates on 220-240V and requires a 50-60 Hz power supply.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the hob with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent them from burning onto the surface. Use a scraper specifically designed for ceramic hobs to remove any burnt-on food particles.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the hob for any signs of damage. Avoid dropping heavy objects on the surface.
