FAQs

What type of cookware is compatible?

Only use cookware that is induction-compatible. Look for the induction symbol on the bottom of your pots and pans. This typically includes cookware made of stainless steel or with a magnetic base.

How do I clean the hob?

Clean the hob after each use with a damp cloth or a hob cleaner specifically designed for induction cooktops. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

What should I do if the hob doesn't turn on?

Check the power supply. Ensure the hob is properly connected and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the issue persists, consult a qualified technician.

How do I use the Bridge function?

Select the two cooking zones you wish to bridge. Activate the bridge function in the control panel. The combined zone will now operate as one large cooking area.

What is the PowerBoost function?

PowerBoost provides a rapid heat burst for quick heating. It's ideal for boiling water or quickly searing food.

How does Hob2Hood work?

The hob communicates wirelessly with compatible cooker hoods. When you start cooking, the hood automatically turns on and adjusts the fan speed based on the heat level.

Is the surface scratch-resistant?

The SaphirMatt surface is designed to be scratch-resistant, but it's important to avoid dragging cookware across the surface and to clean up spills immediately.

What is the warranty?

Refer to the product documentation or contact the manufacturer for specific warranty information.
