FAQs
What is SaphirMatt® SE?
SaphirMatt® SE is a special smooth, matt black surface finish developed by AEG. It offers enhanced durability, providing up to three times more scratch resistance than standard hob surfaces, while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
How does Hob2Hood® work?
Hob2Hood® is a wireless communication system that connects your hob to a compatible AEG cooker hood. The hob automatically controls the hood's fan speed and lighting based on the cooking intensity, allowing you to focus on cooking without manual adjustments.
What type of cookware do I need for this hob?
You need cookware with a magnetic base. You can test your existing pans by seeing if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom. Cast iron, enameled iron, and many stainless steel pans are suitable.
How do I use the Direct Touch Controls?
The Direct Touch Controls feature intuitive numbered settings from 1 to 14. Simply touch the desired number corresponding to the heat level you require for instant and precise temperature adjustment.
What is the PowerBoost function for?
The PowerBoost function provides an instant, high output of heat to a specific cooking zone. It's ideal for quickly bringing large volumes of water to a boil or rapidly searing food.
Is the hob difficult to clean?
No, the smooth SaphirMatt® SE surface is designed for easy cleaning. Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners and tools that could scratch the surface.
What are the dimensions of the hob?
The dimensions are approximately 44mm in height, 580mm in width, and 510mm in depth (H44 x W580 x D510 mm).
Troubleshooting
Hob does not turn on.
Ensure the main power switch is on and that the hob is properly connected to the electricity supply. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Cookware not heating.
Verify that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone and is of an appropriate size for the zone.
Error code displayed on the control panel.
Refer to the user manual for a specific breakdown of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Often, simply turning the hob off and on again can resolve minor errors.
Surface shows scratches.
While SaphirMatt® SE is highly scratch-resistant, avoid dragging rough-bottomed cookware or abrasive cleaning tools across the surface. Minor surface marks may be normal wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation should be performed by a qualified professional, adhering to local electrical and building codes. Ensure the hob is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation. Connect the appliance to a suitable power supply as specified in the user manual.
Compatibility:
This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. Test compatibility by holding a magnet to the bottom of your pots and pans; if it sticks, they are suitable for induction use. Common compatible materials include cast iron, enameled iron, and most stainless steel cookware.
Care:
- Daily Cleaning: After the hob has cooled, wipe the SaphirMatt® SE surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or glass hobs.
- Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent them from baking onto the surface. Use a glass scraper for burnt-on food, holding it at a shallow angle.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the SaphirMatt® SE finish.
- Control Panel: Clean the touch controls gently with a soft, damp cloth.
