FAQs
How do I clean the ceramic hob?
Allow the hob to cool completely. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a ceramic hob cleaner. For stubborn stains, use a ceramic hob scraper.
What kind of cookware can I use?
Use flat-bottomed cookware that is compatible with ceramic hobs. The base diameter of the cookware should match the size of the cooking zone.
How does the Hob2Hood function work?
The Hob2Hood feature automatically controls compatible cooker hoods. When you start cooking, the hood turns on and adjusts the fan speed based on the hob's heat settings.
What does the residual heat indicator mean?
The residual heat indicator shows when the hob's surface is still hot after cooking, preventing accidental burns. It is a safety feature.
Can I use the pause function while cooking?
Yes, the pause function allows you to temporarily halt cooking without losing your settings. Press the pause button to activate and again to resume.
What is the PowerBoost function?
The PowerBoost function provides rapid heating for a specific cooking zone, allowing you to quickly boil water or heat up food.
What is the child lock?
The child lock is a safety feature that prevents accidental operation of the hob. Activate it to prevent children from turning on the appliance.
Troubleshooting
Hob won't turn on.
Check the power supply. Ensure the hob is correctly wired and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Cooking zones not heating.
Make sure the zones are activated via the touch controls. Check the power level settings. If only one zone fails, there might be a component issue; contact customer service.
Touch controls are unresponsive.
Clean the control panel to remove any grease or debris. Ensure your fingers are dry when touching the controls. If the problem persists, reset the hob by turning off the circuit breaker for a few minutes.
Hob2Hood not working.
Ensure your cooker hood is Hob2Hood compatible and within range. Make sure both devices are powered on. Consult the cooker hood's manual for pairing instructions.
Surface scratched.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Use a ceramic hob scraper for stubborn stains, holding the scraper at a 45-degree angle. Be careful to prevent scratching the surface.
