FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible with this induction hob?
This hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. Pots and pans made of cast iron or magnetic stainless steel are generally compatible. Test your cookware by checking if a magnet adheres to its base.
How does the Hob2Hood® feature work?
Hob2Hood® automatically communicates with a compatible AEG cooker hood. It senses the heat and cooking activity on the hob and adjusts the hood's fan speed and lighting accordingly, allowing for hands-free ventilation control.
What is the benefit of the SaphirMatt® SE surface?
The SaphirMatt® SE surface provides a stylish, matt black finish that is highly resistant to scratches (up to 3x more than standard surfaces) and is designed to look new for longer, while also being easy to clean.
How do I use the PowerBoost function?
The PowerBoost function is activated via the touch controls and provides an immediate surge of maximum heat. It's ideal for tasks requiring rapid heating, such as boiling large pots of water quickly. It will automatically revert to a standard setting after a set period.
Can I set exact temperatures with the Direct Touch Controls?
Yes, the Direct Touch Controls feature intuitive numerical settings from 1 to 14, allowing you to set and adjust temperatures precisely and instantly without cycling through plus and minus buttons.

Troubleshooting
Hob does not turn on.
Ensure the main power switch is on and check the circuit breaker. Verify that the hob is correctly connected to the power supply.
Cookware is not heating.
Confirm that the cookware is induction-compatible (a magnet should stick to the base). Ensure the cookware is centered on the correct cooking zone and is of a suitable size for the zone.
Error codes displayed on the control panel.
Refer to the appliance's full user manual for a specific breakdown of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Common codes may indicate cookware issues or overheating.
Hob zones heating unevenly or slowly.
Check that the cookware base is flat and clean. Ensure the cookware is appropriate for the zone size and that the PowerBoost function is not continuously engaged without need.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of this induction hob should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure it meets electrical safety standards and is correctly integrated into your countertop. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility:
This hob operates using magnetic induction, meaning it requires cookware with a magnetic base. Test your existing pots and pans by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom. If it does, they are likely compatible. Common compatible materials include cast iron and most stainless steel cookware.
Care:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the SaphirMatt® SE surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use once the hob has cooled down. Mild detergent can be used for tougher spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, use a hob scraper designed for induction surfaces at a shallow angle, followed by cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the SaphirMatt® finish.
- Control Panel: Clean the touch controls gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the panel is dry before use.
- Vents: Periodically check and clean any ventilation grilles or areas to ensure optimal performance.
