Before you install the hob, write down the information (Serial number) from the rating plate. The rating plate is on the bottom of the hob.
Only use the built-in hobs after you assemble the hob into correct built-in units and work surfaces that align to the standards.
If you install the hob under a hood, please see the installation instructions of the hood for the minimum distance between the appliances.
If the appliance is installed above a drawer, the hob ventilation can warm up the items stored in the drawer during the cooking process.

If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones. The hob controls heat settings to protect the fuses of the house installation.
Refer to the illustration for possible combinations in which power can be distributed among the cooking zones.
It is an advanced automatic function which connects the hob to a special hood. Both the hob and the hood have an infrared signal communicator. Speed of the fan is defined automatically on basis of mode setting and temperature of the hottest cookware on the hob. You can also operate the fan from the hob manually.
For most of the hoods the remote system is originally deactivated. Activate it before you use the function. For more information refer to hood user manual.
To operate the function automatically set the automatic mode to H1 – H6. The hob is originally set to H5. The hood reacts whenever you operate the hob. The hob recognizes temperature of the cookware automatically and adjusts the speed of the fan.

1) The hob detects the boiling process and activates fan speed in accordance with automatic mode.
2) The hob detects the frying process and activates fan speed in accordance with automatic mode.
3) This mode activates the fan and the light and does not rely on the temperature.
To operate the hood directly on the hood panel deactivate the automatic mode of the function.
When you finish cooking and deactivate the hob, the hood fan may still operate for a certain period of time. After that time the system deactivates the fan automatically and prevents you from accidental activation of the fan for the next 30 seconds.
You can also operate the function manually.
To do that touch when the hob is active. This deactivates automatic operation of the function and allows you to change the fan speed manually. When you press you raise the fan speed by one. When you reach an intensive level and press again you will set fan speed to 0 which deactivates the hood fan. To start the fan again with fan speed 1 touch .
To activate automatic operation of the function, deactivate the hob and activate it again.
You can set the hob to activate the light automatically whenever you activate the hob. To do so set the automatic mode to H1 – H6.
The light on the hood deactivates 2 minutes after deactivating the hob.
Refer to Safety chapters.
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.
Refer to "Technical data".
If you can hear:
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
