FAQs

What type of cookware is suitable for this hob?

This hob is compatible with all types of flat cookware, including stainless steel, cast iron (enamel-coated recommended), and glass cookware with a flat base.

How do I activate and deactivate the child safety lock?

Refer to your product manual for the specific button combination to activate and deactivate the child safety lock. Typically, it involves pressing and holding a specific button for a few seconds.

Can I use more than one zone at high power simultaneously?

The hob has a total power of 8500 W. While multiple zones can be used, running all zones at maximum power simultaneously may depend on your home's electrical capacity and fuse rating. It's advisable to distribute high-power cooking across different zones or use them sequentially if experiencing power issues.

How does the residual heat indicator work?

The indicator lights up when a cooking zone is still hot after use. It will remain illuminated until the zone has cooled down to a safe temperature, warning you not to touch it.

What is the maximum time I can set on the individual timer?

The individual timer can be set for a maximum of 99 minutes.

Does this hob require special installation?

Yes, it is an electric hob that requires connection to a power supply. We recommend installation by a qualified electrician and advise using it with a separately grouped fusebox/meter cupboard for safety.

What does the 'pause function' do?

The pause function allows you to temporarily stop all active cooking zones without losing your selected heat settings and timer durations. Pressing the pause button again resumes cooking.

Troubleshooting

Hob does not turn on

Ensure the hob is correctly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is in the 'on' position. Check if the child safety lock is engaged; if so, disengage it according to the manual.

Error code displayed

Refer to the product manual for a specific list of error codes and their meanings. Common solutions involve checking for obstructions on touch controls or ensuring proper ventilation.

Uneven heating or slow to heat

Verify that the cookware is flat and appropriate for ceramic hobs. Ensure the correct cooking zone is selected for the cookware size and that no debris is obstructing the heat transfer.

Touch controls not responding

Wipe the control panel with a dry, soft cloth to remove any moisture or residue. Ensure your hands are dry when operating the controls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires professional electrical work. It is recommended to use the product with a separately grouped fusebox/meter cupboard. Ensure the cut-out dimensions (870 x 490 mm) are adhered to for proper fitting.

Compatibility: This hob is compatible with all types of flat cookware. However, for optimal performance and to prevent damage, avoid using cookware with warped or uneven bases.

Care: Clean the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth after it has cooled down. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects, as these can scratch the glass. For stubborn spills, a ceramic hob cleaner can be used sparingly, following the product's instructions.
