Safety Information
hob while the zones are turned on.
The hob is intended for domestic use
only. If it is used in any other way
there is a risk of accidents.
Never place metal objects (spoons,
pan lids etc.) on an induction zone.
Children
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep an eye on children when the
hob is in use. Pans get very hot
when used and remain warm for
some time after the hob has been
turned off. Never let children touch
or play with the controls.
For reasons of hygiene and safety
the cooking zones must be kept
clean. Grease and spilt food liberate
smoke when heated and could
cause a fire.
Service
Use
Service and repair must be per-
formed by our service organisation
or an organisation approved by us.
Only spare parts supplied by our
service organisation may be used.
Never leave the hob unattended
when deep fat frying, or heating fat
and oils. In the event of fire turn off
all controls and if you have a cooker
hood this must be turned off as well.
Never leave paper, dish cloths, alu-
minium foil or any other easily ignit-
ed materials close to the
Unpacking
Make sure the packaging is disposed
of in such a manner that children
cannot access the used packaging.

Ceramic hob
Ceramic glass is insensitive to tem-
perature shock and very robust:
however it is not unbreakable.
Especially sharp and hard
objects that fall on the cooking sur-
face can damage it.
Induction
When you switch on a zone, a high-
frequency magnetic field is formed
between the induction coil and the
magnetic base of the pan. This mag-
netic field contains induction cur-
rents. The base of the pan slows
down the induction currents, thus
forming heat which first heats the
pan base and then the food in the
pan.
Saucepan base
Ceramic surface
Induction coil
Magnetic field
Quicker cooking
With induction, your pans become
hot immediately. This means you
save time and energy when cooking
by induction. As the necessary heat
for cooking the food is formed in the
base of the pan, the hob hardly gets
hot. However, it does absorb the sur-
plus heat from the pan base.
8
High safety levels
Power
The individual zones will only get
hot when a pan with a magnetic base
is placed on them. It is impossible to
turn on an empty zone. When you
remove the pan from a lighted zone,
the zone will turn off even if you do
not switch it off. Remember that
there will still be residual heat in the
ceramic hob. The zone will
The front zone has a facility for
switching in extra heat to give an
even quicker boiling time. When
using Power on the front zone the
rear zone cannot be set at the highest
setting. Information on how to use
Power is given in the Section “How
to use....Power”.
remember the last setting for about
20 seconds.
Cooling fan
A fan protects the electronics from
overheating. When you have fin-
ished using the zones, the fan will
continue to run until the electronics
have cooled down.
Overheating protection
When a pan is placed on a zone, the
pan will heat up. A sensor under
each zone measures the temperature
of the zone and the pan. If the tem-
perature gets too high, the zone will
automatically switch off.
Electronic control system
The hob has an electronic control
system to ensure precise heat control
of the zones. The electronics have
the following functions:
Quick adjustment
When you turn on a zone, the pan
will become hot very quickly. When
you turn the heat down, the heat
quickly dissipates.
- Power, extra heat
- AUTOMAX, automatic boiling
- Safety switch-off
- Autostop. Automatic turning off
of zones
- Child safety
Easy cleaning
- Minute minder and timer
Any spills will not burn onto the
ceramic hob as the area to the side
of the pan is not hot. This makes cleaning
the hob much easier.
9
Before Use
Protect the ceramic hob
Before using the hob for the first
time, clean off any manufacturing
residues such as dust, dirt etc.
Apply a protective coating on the
ceramic hob before you use it. This
way it becomes easier to clean the
glass and you prevent any spillage
from burning.
This is what you do:
1. Pour a few drops of the cleaning
agent supplied with the hob on
paper towel and rub it on to the
entire surface.
2. Polish the surface with a clean
cloth until it is dry.
10
How to use
Ceramic hob
Make sure there is no sand, sugar or
salt on the base of the pan. Sand can
cause scratches and sugar and salt
can damage the hob.
Always dry pans before placing
them on the hob. The coloured deco-
ration on the hob may wear away or
suffer scratches depending on use.
Never use a cracked vitroce-
ramic hob.
Water could boil over and/or
cleaning agents penetrate
into the live electrical parts.
Switch off the power to the
appliance and contact
Service.
Do not use the ceramic hob without
the aluminium strip in place.
Never place aluminium foil,
paper, plastic or similar on
the hob. A hot heating zone
could cause foil, plastic or
paper to melt or burn.
Do not use the ceramic hob as a
work surface as this could damage
the hob.
Never leave the hob unat-
tended when deep frying or
melting fat, paraffin wax or
other easily ignited sub-
stances. In case of fire, turn
off all knobs and switch off
any cooker hood.
Put out the fire with a lid,
and never use water.
Scrape any spills from the
hob straight away with a
razor. Spills of sugar and
sugar-rich foods (jam, fruit
syrup etc.), melted plastic
and aluminium foil may
damage the hob. Never
place wet saucepans on the
hob.

22
Size of pans
Suitable pans
The zones automatically adapt their
size to the base of the cooking uten-
sil, within certain limits. The pans
must have a definite minimum size,
which will depend on the diameter
of the zone, otherwise the zone will
not turn on.
When using non-stick pans,
do not use level 9 or Power,
as the non-stick coating may
be damaged by the high
induction heat.
·
The induction hob can only be
turned on when a cooking utensil
with a magnetic base is placed on
one of the zones. You can use the
following utensils:
Small zone: Ø 14 cm.
Base of cooking utensil min: Ø 10
cm.
·
·
Pans marked as suitable for
induction.
Cast iron pans. Make sure the
base is smooth. A rough base
could scratch the ceramic
hob.
Enamelled steel pans. Make sure
the enamel is suitable for use on
ceramic surfaces. Some
enamels can scratch the ceramic
hob.
Large zone: Ø 21 cm.
Base of cooking utensil min: Ø 18
cm.
Check the base diameter
when buying, as pan manu-
facturers often give the
diameter of the top edge of
the pan.
·
You can test whether your pans are
suitable by placing a magnet on their
base. If the magnet sticks, the pan is
suitable.
Unsuitable pans
Pans made of aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, porcelain and steel and
which do not have a magnetic base.
23
Advise and Tips for Using the Cooking Zones
By using the advise below you
can save energy and ease
cleaning.
Turn down immediately the
!
pan starts to boil. Choose the
correct heat setting. Start at the
highest setting and turn down as
far as possible without the food
going off the boil.
Use close-fitting lids on the
pans.
!
!
Failure to use a lid on a pan uses
over three times as much electric-
ity.
Use the hot zone for the next pan.
Defrost food in the refrigerator.
!
!
!
Save water: Boil in as little
water as possible. Cook potatoes
and vegetables in 1, 2 or 3 dl
water.
It saves energy to cook in a pan
on a zone rather than in the oven.
Use 1 dl water for the 14 cm
zone.
Use 3 dl water for the 21 cm
zone.
Cover the pan with a close-fitting
lid. Bring to the boil at the high-
est heat and then turn down to the
lowest possible heat when steam
starts emerging strongly from the
lid. Calculate the cooking time
from when you turn down the
heat. Avoid looking at
potatoes/vegetables until the
cooking time is complete.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Aluminium
3. Wipe the hob with a damp cloth
or kitchen paper. Stubborn stains
are removed by rubbing hard on
the stain with a cleaning liquid on
paper towel.
Carry out daily cleaning with a well
wrung-out cloth. For more stubborn
soiling, use a cloth or a soft plastic
sponge together with washing-up
liquid or all-purpose cleaner.
4. Using a damp cloth wipe off any
excess cleaning liquid
Never use metal cleaning pads,
metal wool, hard plastic sponges,
scouring powder, soft soap or other
abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
5. Wipe with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the ceramic hob is
dry when heated. A damp surface
can develop rainbow-like stripes
when heated.
Ceramic hob
Immediately scrape off any sugar or
sugary food stains (jam, juice etc.),
melted plastic and aluminium foil
from the hot hob. If the hob cools
before these materials have been
removed it may become damaged. A
stained hob reduces the heat trans-
fer between cooking zone and pan.
Dry off cooking zones with a damp
cloth with washing-up liquid. When
heavily stained you can do the fol-
lowing:
1. Remove stains etc. using the
ceramic hob scraper.
2. Make sure the ceramic hob has
cooled down. Use the cleaning
liquid supplied with the hob.
Follow the instructions on the
cleaning liquid.

What to do if...
If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks
before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.
IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the aookuabce is under guarantee.
Remedy
Problems
Check that the hob is switched on.
Check the HPFI/HFI relay in the
main fuse box. Check the fuses for
the hob.
The hob doesn’t work.............
The hob may get as hot as 60°C.
The hob gets hot.................
Possibly, you have too many electri-
cal appliance in use at one go. If
your hob is connected to a 10 Amp
fuse group, there is a high risk of
overload.
The fuses are constantly blow-
ing.....
During use there will be noise from
the induction coil and the fan. This is
completely normal and has no effect
on cooking performance.
The zones make clicking and
other noises
However, some pans can increase the
noise. If the noise becomes a nui-
sance, one option could be to use a
different pan.
At the low heat settings, clicks will
be heard. These occur when the heat
is being switched on and off. This is
completely normal and has no effect
on cooking performance.
