FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible with this hob?
Only cookware that is designed for induction hobs is compatible. This includes cookware made of steel, cast iron, or stainless steel that is induction-ready. A magnet should stick to the bottom of the pan.
How do I clean the hob surface?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge after each use. For stubborn stains, use a hob scraper or a specialized hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
How often should I clean the grease filter?
The grease filter should be cleaned regularly, ideally after every 1-2 months, depending on your cooking frequency. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.
What happens if I spill something on the hob?
Wipe spills immediately to prevent them from burning onto the surface. Use a hob scraper for stubborn stains, but be careful not to scratch the surface.
Can I use the boost function on all cooking zones simultaneously?
The boost function can be used on multiple zones, but the overall power consumption is limited. Consult the manual for more details.
What should I do if the hob displays an error code?
Consult the user manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. If the problem persists, contact customer support or a qualified technician.
Is it possible to recirculate the air instead of ducting it outside?
Some models support recirculating the air with the use of carbon filters. Check your specific model specifications to confirm this feature and how to install and maintain the filters.
Troubleshooting
Hob won't turn on.
Check the power supply, circuit breaker, and ensure the hob is correctly connected. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.
Poor ventilation performance.
Check and clean the grease filter. Ensure the ducting system is not blocked. Inspect the ventilation fan for any obstructions.
Cookware not recognized.

Ensure your fingers are dry when operating the touch controls. Clean the control panel. If the problem continues, consult the manual for troubleshooting.
