AEG IDE84242IB (01) PDF Document

For your safety when using the AEG IDE84242IB, please strictly observe the following instructions:

General Safety

• The device must be disconnected from the electrical network before performing any installation work.

• Installation and maintenance must be performed by a qualified technician.

• Earthing the device is compulsory.

• Once installation is complete, the electrical components must no longer be accessible by the user.

• 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 during use.

• For people with pacemakers and active implants, it is important to check that their pacemaker is compatible with the device before using the induction hob.

Fire Prevention

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

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

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

• Unattended cooking on a hob with oil or fat may be dangerous and may cause a fire.

• NEVER attempt to put fires out using water. Instead, turn off the device and smother the flames, for example with a lid or a fire blanket. Fire hazard: do not rest objects on the cooking surfaces.

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

Usage Precautions

• If the surface is cracked, switch off the device to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.

• 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.

• After use, switch off the hob from its control device and do not rely on the pot detector.

• Avoid spills; when boiling or heating liquids, lower the heat supply.

• Do not leave the heating elements on with pots and pans empty or without containers.

• Never use aluminum foil to cook with, and never directly place products packaged with aluminum on top of the cooking surface. The aluminum would melt and irreparably damage your device.

• Never heat a tin or a can containing foods without first opening it: it might explode!

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

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the product from the electrical network.

• The hood must be regularly cleaned both internally and externally (AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH). Failure to follow the rules for hood cleaning and filter replacement shall result in a fire hazard.

For best results and to avoid damage to your AEG IDE84242IB, follow these guidelines for cooking containers:

Suitable Containers

• Use only pots bearing the induction symbol.

• Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat. Containers must therefore contain iron. Check if the pot material is magnetic using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically detectable.

Unsuitable Containers

To avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:

• containers with less than perfectly flat bottoms.

• metal containers with enameled bottoms.

• containers with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob surface.

Recommended Pan Diameters

IMPORTANT: if the pots are not correctly sized, the cooking zones will not turn on. For details of the minimum pot diameter that needs to be used on each zone, see the illustrated part of the manual.

To achieve the best results and save energy with your AEG IDE84242IB, 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; it further reduces energy consumption and cooking time.

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

The extraction system on the AEG IDE84242IB 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 towards the 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. For proper function:

• Use ducting with the minimal indispensable length.

• Use ducting with the least possible number of curves (maximum angle: 90°).

• Avoid drastic changes in the ducting diameter.

Filtration version

The extracted air will be filtered in special grease filters and odour filters before being sent back into the room. The product is supplied with all parts necessary for standard installation, with the air outlet positioned in the front part of the cabinet plinth. Four high-performance ceramic activated carbon filter packs are already supplied with the product. These ceramic filters are innovative modular carbon filters that are regenerating.

The following table provides guidance on power levels for various cooking tasks on your AEG IDE84242IB:

Hob Maintenance

Caution! Before any cleaning, ensure cooking zones are off and the heat indicator has turned off. The hob must be cleaned after each use.

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as they may ruin the glass over time.

• Do not use chemical irritants like oven sprays or stain removers.

• After use, let the hob cool and clean it to remove food residue deposits and stains.

• Sugar or food with high sugar content must be removed immediately as it can damage the hob.

• Salt, sugar, and sand can scratch the glass surface.

• Use a soft cloth, paper towel, or specific hob cleaning products.

• DO NOT USE STEAM JET CLEANERS!

• If liquids leak excessively, the drain valve on the lower part of the product can be opened to remove residue and clean hygienically.

Extractor Fan Maintenance

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

• Grease filter: This traps grease particles and must be cleaned once per month (or when the filter saturation indicator shows the need). Use non-aggressive detergents, either manually or in the dishwasher on a low temperature, short cycle. The filter may discolour in the dishwasher, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.

• Activated carbon filters (Filtration Version Only): These trap unpleasant odours. The 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.
