FAQs
What type of cookware is needed for this induction hob?
You need cookware with a flat, ferromagnetic base. This includes most cast iron and stainless steel pans. You can test compatibility by checking if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of the pan.
Does the Hob2Hood feature work with any cooker hood?
No, the Hob2Hood feature is specifically designed to work with compatible AEG cooker hoods that are equipped with this technology. Please check your cooker hood's specifications.
Can I install this hob myself?

How do I activate the PowerBoost function?
To activate PowerBoost, select a cooking zone, then press and hold the PowerBoost button associated with that zone. It provides maximum power for a limited time before reverting to a high setting.
What happens if I lift the pan during cooking?
If you lift the pan, the hob will automatically stop heating that zone and will resume heating once the pan is replaced. This is part of the pan detection safety feature.
How do I clean the hob surface?
After the hob has cooled, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a non-abrasive pad. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scourers.
