FAQs
What type of cookware do I need for this induction hob?
You need cookware with a magnetic base that is specifically designed for induction hobs. Cast iron, stainless steel, and some enamelware are typically suitable. Test your cookware by seeing if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom.
How do I clean the glass-ceramic surface?
Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized glass-ceramic cleaner. For tough stains, use a ceramic hob scraper carefully. Always wipe dry with a soft cloth.
What does the 'boost' function do?
The boost function temporarily increases the power output of a specific cooking zone, allowing for very rapid heating. This is useful for tasks like boiling water quickly.
Is this hob energy efficient?
Yes, induction hobs are generally very energy efficient because they heat the cookware directly, minimizing heat loss to the surrounding air.
How do I activate the child lock?
Typically, the child lock is activated by pressing and holding a specific button combination on the control panel. Please consult your product manual for the exact procedure.
Can I use my existing pots and pans?
You can use your existing pots and pans if they are induction-compatible. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your cookware, it should work on this induction hob.
Troubleshooting
Hob not turning on.
Ensure the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is active. Check if the hob is locked by a child lock feature and deactivate it if necessary.
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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a built-in induction hob designed for installation into standard European cabinetry. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper electrical connections and integration with your countertop.
Compatibility: The hob requires cookware specifically designed for induction use. Look for cookware with a magnetic base. Common materials like cast iron, stainless steel, and enamelware with an induction-compatible base will work.

- Daily Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent or a specialized glass-ceramic cleaner. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, use a ceramic hob scraper carefully at a low angle to lift residue. Avoid scratching the surface.
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass surface.
