CAUTION! The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then cover the flames with, for example, a lid or a fire blanket.
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials. Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
This appliance is only designed for household use.
The appliance is not designed for heating rooms.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.
Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning the appliance. Only clean the appliance when switched off. The steam of a steam cleaner could reach the conducting parts and cause an electrical short.
The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable. For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it to break.
The hob is fitted with a Wi-Fi module that allows the appliance to connect to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. It offers to monitor the cooking hob status via the mobile device. For safety reasons, it is not possible to remotely control, turn on or turn off the hob. The monitoring function via mobile device shall not be used to replace the personal supervision of the cooking process directly at the hob.
If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a fault, we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s waste disposal site.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Ceramic glass plate broke
-
Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
-
Do not touch the appliance surface.
-
Do not use the appliance.
The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.
Gas burners
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
The burner components are hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant materials.
The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In the case of smaller distances, the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.
Induction cooking zones and cooking areas
Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the surface of the cooking hob; they may become hot.
When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
Safe use
-
Never use aluminium foil for cooking, and never place products packaged in aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt and irreparably damage your device.
-
Remember that if the hob is used in a high setting, the heating time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone in a high setting.
-
As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching on the appliance.
After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t rely only on the pan detector.
-
Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the appliance.
-
The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.
-
Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
-
Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or scalded.
-
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
-
Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects could melt, become hot or catch fire.
-
Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
-
The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
-
When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.
-
The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable. For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it to break.
-
Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water. Rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
-
Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
-
Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.
-
Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can burn into the burner caps and pan supports.
-
The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
-
Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
-
Do not use griddle plates or baking plates.
-
Clean the burner parts regularly for the safe and correct operation of the burners.
-
Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber feet are missing, please contact our service department.
Temperature safety induction zones
-
The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking. The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
-
The cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice, the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
|
The cooking zone or wok burner switches off automatically after: |
---|---|
1 and 2 |
9 hours |
3, 4 and 5 |
6 hours |
6, 7 and 8 |
4 hours |
9 |
3 hours |
10 |
2 hours |
11 and 12 |
1 hour |
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time in the table has elapsed.
Cooking settings |
The cooking zone switches to setting 12 automatically after: |
---|---|
boost |
10 minutes |
-
The Cooking-time limiter for the specific cooking zone is reset after the user has changed the cooking level of the specific cooking zone.
-
Cooking zone related timers take priority over the cooking-time limiter.
Power management
The induction part of this hob is equipped with a smart power management system. This system ensures a maximum permissible power cannot be exceeded for safety reasons.
-
The smart power management system will arrange the power distribution across the zones automatically. This means the hob could automatically decrease the power on one zone when the power level of another zone is increased. The level of activity of the power management system depends on the available power per electrical phase, the setting of the current limiter and the connected load.
-
The power level of one zone can affect the power of another zone as the maximum available power is distributed among the zones. If the combined zones reach the maximum available power when a new power level is set, the power levels of one or more zones are automatically reduced within the power limit. This is indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element.
-
Intervention by the smart power management system is more likely when the current limiter is set to a lower level.
-
The current limiter setting must be set according to your connection and circuit breakers by a registered and qualified installer (see '' for the details on currents and electrical installation).

Induction use
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and the handles stay cool.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a large zone, the zone will adjust the power to the pan's diameter. The power will thus be lower, and it will take longer before the food comes to a boil.
-
Grains of sand may cause scratches that you cannot remove. Therefore, only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always pick pans up to move them.
-
Do not use the hob as a worktop.
-
Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy loss.
Operation of the touch keys and sliders
-
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to achieve the best results.
-
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with any other objects.
-
The cooking hob is operated by a slider. You can either touch the selected part of the slider or slide in a circular motion clockwise to increase or anti-clockwise to decrease the power level and temperature.
-
To set the cooking zone power level, touch the desired spot on the slider. As you touch the slider, the selected power level will appear on the cooking zone display unit.
-
The selected part of the slider will be fully lit.
-
Do not use any objects to operate the slider.
How induction works
The coil (1) in the hob (2) generates a magnetic field (3). By placing a pan with an iron base (4) on the coil, a current is induced in the base of the pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food takes just as long as other types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn into the glass.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
Depending on the hob model, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several cooking zones are switched on simultaneously, the available capacity is shared automatically between them.
When the maximum capacity of the combination of cooking levels is reached during setting, one or more zones are automatically reduced to the highest possible setting at that moment. This is indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element.
Induction sounds
Ticking sound
A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones. A soft ticking sound can also occur at lower settings.
Pan makes sounds
The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the pan. This is normal for certain pans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.
Ventilator makes sounds
The appliance is fitted with a ventilator in order to increase the lifespan of electronic components. If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound. The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.
-
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
-
Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
-
a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
-
a flat base.
-
You can use a magnet to check whether your pans are suitable. A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable |
Unsuitable |
---|---|
Special stainless steel pans |
Earthenware |
Class Induction |
Stainless steel |
Solid enamelled pans |
Porcelain |
Enamelled cast-iron pans |
Copper |
Plastic |
|
Aluminium |
Please note!
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet steel pans:
-
the enamel may come loose from the steel at high settings if the pan boils dry;
-
high power level settings may cause the base of the pan to warp.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pan diameter
The minimum diameter for the pan base is 12 cm. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops cooking immediately.
Pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking zone display lights up.
Integrated pan recognition
If a certain power level is set for a cooking zone and there is no (suitable) pan on the cooking zone, the cooking zone will not deliver any power. After a certain period, the cooking zone will switch off automatically.
Grill plates
The hob has a Grill function (depending on the model) for using a grill plate. The function keeps the grill plate at an ideal temperature for grilling.
Cooking settings
Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the pan and its contents, the table below is intended as a guideline only.

Wok burner use
Pans
Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. A lot of energy is lost when flames burn around the outside of the pan. The handles could also become too hot.
Suitable cookware
Only use cookware with a suitable diameter. The cookware must not protrude over the edge of the hob. Never use small cookware on large burners. The flames must not touch the sides of the cookware. Refer to the table.

Grill
This function is exclusively for connected Bridge Induction cooking zones that are combined to form a larger cooking zone.
Grilling is optimized for ASKO induction accessories: the grill plate and the teppanyaki. It will also work with different cookware, but perhaps less accurate.
Some functions are indicating the heat up time, counting down. In the heating-up stage, the slider and the set temperature will flash. When the set temperature is reached, a short beep will be emitted, and the slider will be constantly lit. You may then start cooking.
The sensor which measures the temperature while cooking within the PLUS menu programs is located in the glass below the cookware. Because of this, there is always an offset between the setpoint and the actual temperature of the content inside the cookware. The temperature of the content inside the cookware is therefore also dependent on factors such as the type of pan, the volume of liquid and whether a lid is placed on the pan.
Up to a temperature of 94 °C, the programs allow the hob to reach and maintain the set temperature automatically by measuring the glass surface temperature. This will avoid liquids overflowing and burning on the bottom of the pan.
From 100 °C on these programs will heat cookware with different timed power steps. The set temperature serves as an indication of the approximately to be reached temperature range. Someone must always be present to supervise the cooking process.
Starting these menu functions at the beginning of the cooking process will give the best results. An already hot surface will influence the performance.

Replace the battery cover. Do not overtighten.
Insert the Celsius°Cooking™ Probe into a cooking pan
The Celsius°Cooking™ Probe can be used with different types and sizes of pans. Due to the use of a suspension bracket with different holes, the Probe can be suspended in different ways.
-
Slide the suspension bracket over the pan edge.
-
Insert the probe into the suspension bracket from above.
-
Leave a minimum distance of 1 cm between the pan base and the measuring point of the probe!
-
In case the connectivity between cookware and the hob is unstable, this could be due to a low battery. In those cases, we recommend changing the battery.
Celsius°Cooking™ Cookware
-
Insert an AAA battery in the panhandle (negative (-) end goes in first).
-
Insert the handle end into the panhandle and turn it a quarter to secure.
Do not exchange the handle cap of a chef's pot (31620) with that of a frying pan (31619) or vice versa.
Assigning the cookware to the cooking zone
Switch on the hob and wait until the end of the start-up animation.
Place the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware or a regular pan fitted with the Celsius°Cooking™ probe on the desired cooking zone. After it has been detected, quickly tap twice with your fingertip on the sensor in the end cap or the probe housing to activate it. Then the Celsius°Cooking™ mode key will immediately light up. To assign the probe, the Celsius°Cooking™ mode key will light upon every possible cooking zone. Press the Celsius°Cooking™ mode key of the desired cooking zone. The Celsius°Cooking™ menu will be opened. With a short press again, it can be closed.
Cooking with the embedded Celsius°Cooking™ programs
The hob comes along with integrated Celsius°Cooking™ programs, optimized for Celsius°Cooking™ cookware. With the opened menu, 3 different cooking methods can be chosen, with different temperature ranges. If the probe is used, only two suitable Celsius°Cooking™ methods are shown. Use the one that fits the desired purpose:
Heating up and frying
This program is to reach high temperatures rapidly. High pan bottom temperatures can be reached. Always add oil or butter before starting it. For healthy cooking don’t exceed the smoke point of the used oil.
Boiling or cooking with water
With this program, the water gets to boil quickly. Always add water before starting.
Slow cooking or sous vide
This program is to control low to medium temperatures, preventing high bottom temperatures. Larger quantities and thicker dishes need to be stirred occasionally to ensure a homogeneous heat distribution.
Using the probe as a cooking thermometer
When a Celsius°Cooking™ probe is used it can also be used as a thermometer to just monitor e.g. the core temperature of a certain dish. This can be done on normal level cooking or PLUS menu programs. To use the probe as thermometer, lift up the pan you want to use for a few seconds, place it back on the zone and activate the probe by tapping. When the Celsius°Cooking™ symbol appears on the display, touch it.
Please make sure that the appliance is already switched on before placing the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware so that the system can clearly identify its position.
When the Celsius°Cooking™ Probe is recognized on a cooking zone, it can also be used as a thermometer. The display then shows the temperature instead of the power level. As the power level changes, it is temporarily displayed in place of the actual temperature.
Probe removal detection
If the probe is moved out during cooking, the hob will detect that and stop heating. When placed back, the user can confirm that by touching the now blinking Celsius°Cooking™ mode button, or it might get re-detected automatically.
E.g. adding cold water to the pot might trigger this detection too!

Switching off the cooking zone
Switching off a Celsius°Cooking™ controlled zone is possible by setting the temperature to zero (0). The display will show a dash. Alternatively, touch the Slider or the Celsius°Cooking™ key from the zone to be switched off for at least 3 seconds to deactivate the Celsius°Cooking™ mode completely.
While the Celsius°Cooking™ probe is used to control the temperature of the content inside a pan (e.g. water or soup) the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware is controlled on the pan bottom temperature. Due to this, there is always an offset between the set-point and actual temperature of the content INSIDE the cookware. When, e.g. trying to boil a liquid on the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware may be necessary to set a higher temperature to reach the boiling point. Reaching the boiling point is also further dependent on the volume of the liquid and whether a lid is placed on top of the cookware. Furthermore, regular stirring improves this behaviour, even when cooking with the probe.
Bridge Induction zone
The Bridge Induction zones can be linked together. This creates one large zone that can be used, for example, for a large fish pan or various pans at the same power.
-
Pan position recognition is activated automatically after the appliance is switched on. When a pan is placed on the hob, the pan recognition function recognizes its position and automatically bridges the cooking zones depending on the size of the pan (only if the hob was already switched on).
-
If the Bridge Induction zones are linked, they cannot be set to boost and, the menu functions cannot be used.
-

Connection diagram
Consult the wiring diagrams on the bottom of the appliance.
-
Open the cover of the connection terminal box.
-
Run the power cord through a cord strain relief (clamp) which protects the cable from being pulled out.
Connect the wires according to your type of appliance.
-
Make the necessary connections between the terminals using the supplied terminal bridges .
The terminal bridges are provided seperately.
Current limiter
See chapter '', under parameter Con - Current limiter to set the parameter. This parameter must be set before any pan is placed on the hob or cooking zone activated.
Con - Current limiter
If your electrical wiring or circuit breakers do not meet the specified current draw on the rating plate, the current limiter can be activated by reducing the value of this setting. Doing so will cause a reduced performance of the induction hob.
The following numbering format of the setting is available: X.XX. The number left of the dot represents the number of connected phases, while the number right of the dot represents the electrical current per phase in Ampere.
While no pans are on any zone, touch any slider with two fingers and keep it pressed for 3 seconds. Different settings can now be toggled by using the slider. Select 'Con' and touch the slider for 3 seconds. Select the correct current limit value and touch the slider again for 3 seconds to confirm the setting.
To prevent unintentional adjustment of the 'Con - connected power', Con setting must be confirmed when changed by touching the slider for 3 seconds. A change without confirmation will not be implemented!
Current limiter setting must be set according to your connection and circuit breakers by a registered and qualified installer. Please read the safety regulations and the installation instructions carefully.
Setting a lower value of the Current limiter parameter will cause a reduced performance of the induction hob.
See the connection diagrams for the voltage between the phase and neutral conductors and voltage between the phase conductors.
Power cord core cross sectional area should be at least 1,5 mm² for the following current limiter settings which should be adjusted to your circuit breakers:
