i For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly.

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:

• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a diameter smaller than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.

For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than indicated in “Cooking zones specification”. Avoid keeping cookware close to the control panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel or accidentally activate hob functions.

The grid covering the hood is made of aluminium and stainless steel. You can put pots on it while the hood is not operating. It will not cause any damage.

When AUTO mode operates, the fan starts at a low speed at the beginning of each cooking session. The speed increases gradually. You can also adjust the speed of the fan manually.

In case of exhaust installation you have to install a window switch. You need to buy it separately as it is not supplied with the hood. The window switch has to be installed by an authorised technician. Refer to the installation booklet.

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.

Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.

Use a special hob scraper on the glass surface at an acute angle and move the blade on the surface.

Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.

Remove shiny metallic discoloration: use a solution of water with vinegar and clean the glass surface with a cloth.

Grid

The grid drives the air into the hood. Additionally, it protects the hood system and prevents foreign objects from falling inside by accident. You can wash the grid manually or in a dishwasher.

Water tank

There is a water tank located under the hood. It collects the condensation created during each cooking process. Remember to empty the water tank regularly. To open the water tank, slide the latches out and open them one by one.

WARNING! Make sure you do not let water get inside the hood.

If water or other liquids spill inside the hood system:

• switch off the hood in the first place, lift the grid and clean the hood area carefully with a moist cloth or sponge and a mild cleaning agent,
• wipe away the excess liquid gathered on the bottom of the hood cavity using a sponge or a dry cloth,
• switch on the hood, set the fan speed level to 2 or higher and let it run for some time to get rid of the remaining moisture.

The filter prevents grease particles from getting into the hood system. The hob has a built-in counter that reminds you about cleaning the filter. After 100 hours of use the filter indicator starts blinking to signal that it is time to clean the filter. The notification stays on for 30 seconds after you deactivate the hood and the hob. The notification does not block the use of the hob.

It is recommended to clean the filter before the indicator appears.

1. Remove the filter and filter housing carefully. They are located right under the grid in the centre of the hob.

2. Clean the hood cavity with a cleaning foam.

3. Wash the filter and filter housing manually in warm water without using detergents or abrasive sponges. You can also wash them in a dishwasher with the maximum temperature of 65-70 °C, without detergents and without dishes in the same load. Only the plastic parts can be cleaned using detergents.

4. Dry the filter for 7 minutes in an oven with the maximum temperature of 60°C or in an ambient temperature.

5. Fix the filter and filter housing back in place when they are fully dried.

6. Reset the counter.

Resetting the counter when the filter indicator is on:

1. Clean the filter first and place it back inside the hood.
2. Press briefly. The counter restarts.

Resetting the counter before the filter indicator appears:

1. Make sure the hob is switched off and Child Safety Device does not operate.
2. Clean the filter and place it back inside the hood.
3. Press twice. The indicator appears and the signal sounds. The counter restarts.

The counter starts automatically when you turn on the hood for the first time. The maximum number of cleaning cycles is 8. After that time, the filter needs to be replaced with a new one.
