AEG IDE84241IB (01) PDF Document

When using your AEG IDE84241IB, please adhere to the following safety instructions:

• The device and its accessible parts heat up during use. Be careful not to touch the heating elements.

• Ensure that children do not play with the device; keep children away and supervise them, as accessible parts may become very hot.

• For individuals with pacemakers and active implants, it is important to verify that their pacemaker is compatible with the induction hob before use.

• Do not touch the heating elements of the device during and after use.

• Avoid contact with cloths or other flammable materials until all components have sufficiently cooled.

• Do not place flammable materials on or near the device.

• Overheated fats and oils can easily catch fire. Supervise the cooking of foods rich in fat and oil.

• If the surface is cracked, switch off the device to prevent electric shock.

• The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer or a separate remote control system.

• Unattended cooking with oil or fat can be dangerous and may cause a fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish fires with water. Instead, turn off the device and smother the flames with a lid or a fire blanket.

• Do not rest objects on the cooking surfaces.

• Do not use steam cleaners.

• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the hob surface as they may overheat.

• The room must be properly ventilated when the cooker hood is used at the same time as other combustion devices (gas or otherwise).

• The hood must be cleaned regularly, both internally and externally (at least once per month).

• It is strictly prohibited to flame food. The use of an open flame may damage filters and cause a fire hazard.

• Take extra care when frying to prevent oil from overheating and catching fire.

• CAUTION: When the hob is on, the accessible parts of the hood may become hot.

For your AEG IDE84241IB hob, use only pots bearing the induction symbol. To avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:

• Containers with less than perfectly flat bottoms.

• Metal containers with enamelled bottoms.

• Containers with a rough base, which can scratch the hob surface.

Also, never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob’s control panel.

Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat, so containers must contain iron. You can check if your pot material is magnetic by using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically detectable.

IMPORTANT: If the pots are not correctly sized, the cooking zones will not turn on. For details of the minimum pot diameter for each zone, see the illustrated part of the manual provided with your AEG IDE84241IB.

To achieve the best results and save energy with your AEG IDE84241IB, follow these recommendations:

• Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of the cooking zone.

• Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms.

• Where possible, keep the lid on pots during cooking.

• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc., with a small amount of water to reduce cooking time.

• Use a pressure cooker, as it further reduces energy consumption and cooking time.

• Place the pot in the centre of the cooking zone drawn on the hob.

The extraction system on the AEG IDE84241IB can be used in two versions: external extraction (Extraction version) or as a filter with internal recirculation (Filtration version).

Extraction version

The fumes are evacuated outside through a series of pipes (bought separately) fastened to the supplied connecting flange. The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the diameter of the connecting ring. To connect the product to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes, the diameter must be equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange). Using pipes and holes with a smaller diameter may reduce extraction efficiency and drastically increase noise levels.

Filtration version

The extracted air is filtered through special grease and odour filters before being sent back into the room. The product is supplied with all necessary parts for standard installation, with the air outlet positioned in the front part of the cabinet plinth. It comes with four high-performance ceramic activated carbon filter packs which are regenerating.

The following table combines experience and cooking habits for the AEG IDE84241IB:

Hob maintenance:

Clean the hob after each use. Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Do not use chemical irritants like oven sprays or stain removers. Sugar or food with high sugar content must be removed immediately. Salt, sugar, and sand can scratch the glass. If liquids accidentally leak, the drain valve on the lower part of the product can be opened to remove residue for maximum hygiene. For a more complete clean, the lower tray can be removed.

Extractor fan maintenance:

• Cleaning: Use ONLY a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents. DO NOT USE CLEANING UTENSILS OR TOOLS! Avoid abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

• Grease filter: Traps grease particles. Clean once per month (or when the filter saturation indicator shows the need) with non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a low temperature, short cycle.

• Activated carbon filters (Filtration Version only): Traps unpleasant odours. The product has four filter packs with activated carbons. These ceramic activated carbon filters become saturated over time. They can be thermally regenerated every 2/3 months in an oven preheated to 200°C for 45 minutes. Regeneration allows a maximum filter lifespan of 5 years.
