FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible with this hob?
You must use induction-compatible cookware. Look for cookware with a flat bottom and that a magnet will stick to. Typically, this includes cookware made from stainless steel or cast iron.
How do I set the timer?
Select the cooking zone, then use the touch controls to set the desired cooking time. The hob will automatically switch off the zone when the timer elapses.
How do I clean the hob?
Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
What is the child safety lock?
The child safety lock prevents children from accidentally turning on the hob or changing the settings. Activate it to ensure safe operation.
What is the PowerBoost function?
The PowerBoost function provides extra power to a cooking zone, allowing for faster heating. It is ideal for boiling water or quickly searing food.
What is the Hob²Hood function?
The Hob²Hood function allows the hob to automatically control compatible range hoods. This ensures optimal ventilation while you cook (if supported).
What should I do if my hob is not heating?
First, make sure the hob is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Check if your cookware is induction-compatible. Contact customer support if the problem persists.
Troubleshooting
Hob won't turn on.
Check the power connection and ensure the hob is plugged in securely. Check your circuit breaker.
Cooking zones are not heating.
Make sure you are using induction-compatible cookware and that the cookware is properly placed on the cooking zone. Ensure the child safety lock is not activated.
Hob is making unusual noises.
Some humming or buzzing is normal with induction hobs. If the noise is excessive, ensure the cookware is compatible and correctly sized for the zone.
Touch controls are unresponsive.
Make sure your fingers are dry when using the touch controls. If the problem persists, reset the hob by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes.
