FAQs
What type of cookware is required for this induction hob?
This hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. You can test your cookware by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom. Common compatible materials include cast iron, enameled steel, and certain types of stainless steel.
Does the Hob2Hood feature work with any extractor hood?
No, the Hob2Hood feature only works with compatible AEG extractor hoods that are designed to communicate with the hob. Please check your hood's specifications or manual.
How do I clean the glass surface of the hob?
Wipe the cooled hob surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching.
What are the dimensions of the hob?
The dimensions of the hob are approximately H4.4 cm x W77.0 cm x D51.0 cm.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, as this hob is hard-wired, it must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.
What is the warranty period for this hob?
The AEG Induction Hob comes with a 2-year warranty covering parts and repair.
How quickly does induction cooking heat up?
Induction cooking is known for its speed. It heats cookware directly and very rapidly, often boiling water much faster than gas or ceramic hobs.
Troubleshooting
Hob not turning on
Check that the circuit breaker or fuse for the hob is switched on. Ensure the hob is correctly hard-wired and that the power supply is active. Refer to the installation manual for specific power requirements.
Cookware not heating
Verify that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the pan is centered on the cooking zone and that the correct zone is selected and activated. Check that the hob is powered on.
Hob2Hood not working
Confirm that both the hob and the extractor hood are powered on and that the Hob2Hood feature is enabled on both devices. Ensure the hood is compatible with Hob2Hood technology and that they are within communication range. Consult the manuals for both appliances.
Touch controls are unresponsive
Ensure the hob surface is dry and clean. Moisture or food debris can interfere with touch sensitivity. Try wiping the control panel with a dry, soft cloth. If the issue persists, a power cycle (turning the hob off and on at the breaker) may resolve it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This hob is designed for hard wiring and requires connection to a suitable power supply by a qualified electrician. Ensure the countertop has adequate space for the hob's dimensions (H4.4 x W77.0 x D51.0 cm) and that ventilation requirements are met as per the installation manual.
Compatibility: Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base. Test your existing pots and pans by checking if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom. Cookware made of cast iron, enameled steel, or stainless steel with a magnetic base are generally compatible. Aluminum, copper, and glass cookware will not work unless they have a specific induction-compatible layer.
Care: The smooth glass surface of the hob is easy to clean. After each use, once the hob has cooled down, wipe away any food residue or spills with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. Ensure the area around the hob is kept clear of obstructions.
