FAQs
What type of cookware is needed for this induction hob?
You need cookware with a magnetic base. Cast iron, stainless steel (with a magnetic base), and specific induction-ready pots and pans are suitable. Aluminum or copper pans will not work unless they have a magnetic layer added to the base.
How do I activate the Boost function?
The Boost function is typically activated by pressing a specific icon or holding a button related to the cooking zone. Consult your user manual for precise instructions, as it varies by model.
What does the residual heat indicator mean?
The residual heat indicator shows that a cooking zone is still hot after it has been turned off. This is a safety feature to prevent burns.
Can I use any size pan on any zone?
While the hob has specific zone diameters, the 60cm width and four zones offer flexibility. It's best to match the pan size to the zone size for optimal efficiency and even heating. The bridge function allows combining zones for larger cookware.
How do I clean the glass surface?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent after the hob has cooled. For tougher stains, use a specialized glass ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
What is the connected load of this hob?
The connected load is 7200W. This is important to consider when planning your kitchen's electrical capacity.
Is this hob easy to install?
Installation requires a qualified electrician due to the electrical specifications. Ensure the unit fits within the specified built-in compartment dimensions for safe operation.
Troubleshooting
Hob does not turn on
Ensure the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check if the child lock is activated and deactivate it according to the manual.
Pan not detected
Verify that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base) and that its diameter is suitable for the selected cooking zone. Ensure the bottom of the pan is clean and flat.
Error code displayed
Refer to the product manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Common codes may relate to overheating or incorrect pan placement.
Reduced heating performance
Check if the boost function is being used appropriately. Ensure cookware is centered on the zone and is induction-compatible. Overheating protection may have activated; allow the hob to cool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation requires a qualified electrician to connect the hob to your home's electrical supply, ensuring it meets the 32A current requirement and the 7200W connected load. Ensure the installation compartment dimensions (56cm width, 47.8-48.2cm depth) are met for proper ventilation.
Compatibility:
This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. To test if your cookware is compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom; if it sticks, it will work on this hob. Pans should ideally have a flat bottom and be within the specified zone diameters (180mm for all zones).
Care:

- Spills: Clean up spills immediately, especially sugary substances, to prevent them from burning onto the surface.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specific glass ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth.
