Safety instructions
Connection and operation
■ Küppersbusch app iances are constructed in accordance with the re evant
safety regu ations.
■ If the hob is operated with an oven insta ed underneath, this may on y be
a Küppersbusch oven with fan coo ing.
■ The app iances may on y be connected to the mains, maintained and
repaired by a qua ified e ectrician according to va id safety regu ations. Work
carried out incorrect y p aces your safety at risk.
■ Persons with cardiac pacemakers or imp anted insu in pumps must make
sure that their imp ants are not affected by the induction fie d (the frequency
range of the induction fie d is 25-50 kHz).
For the hob
■ Owing to the very fast reaction at the high power setting (power
level), do not use the induction hob without supervision!
■ When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the cooking zones.
Avoiding boi ing the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overheating!
■ Do not p ace empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been
switched on.
■ Immediate y switch off the cooking zone after using with the respective
minus key and not just by pot recognition.
■ Overheated fats and oi s may spontaneous y ignite. Food invo ving the use
of fats and oi s, e.g. chips, may on y be cooked under supervision. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oi s with water! Put the id on the pan and switch
off the cooking zone.
■ The g ass ceramic hob is extreme y robust. Avoid dropping hard objects onto
the the g ass ceramic hob. Pointed objects fa ing onto your hob might break
it.
■ If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your g ass ceramic hob,
immediate y switch off the app iance. Disconnect fuse immediate y and ca
the Customer service.
■ If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor contro
immediate y disconnect your app iance and ca the Customer service.
■ The g ass ceramic hob shou d not be used as a storage area.
■ Do not put kitchen foi or p astic onto the cooking zone.
■ Meta objects, e.g. kitchen utensi s, cut ery, must not be eft on the surface
of the induction hob as they can become hot.
■ Take care with meta objects which are worn on the body if they come into
the direct vicinity of the induction hob as they can become hot. Non-
magnetisab e objects (e.g. go d or si ver rings) are not affected.
■ Do not heat any unopened food cans or aminated packing on the hob.
There is a risk of bursting!
■ Be especia y carefu to keep the sensor keys c ean since soi ing cou d be
mistaken for finger contact by the app iance. Never put anything (pans, tea
towe s etc.) onto the sensor keys!
If food boi s over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the
emergency switch.
■ Hot pans shou d not cover the sensor keys, otherwise the app iance
switches itse f off automatica y. In this case the oven automatica y shuts
off.
■ If there are any pets in the apartment which cou d come near the hob,
activate the chi d-proof ock.
Before using the appliance for
the first time
Remove foreign matter and packaging.
Before first use the hob shou d be c eaned with a damp c oth and a itt e
washing-up iquid.
The hob is resistant against therma shocks (co dness and heat) and a so very
robust.
P ease observe the c eaning and servicing instructions.
The hob
The hob is provided with an induction cooking zone.
An induction coi underneath the g ass ceramic hob generates an
e ectromagnetic a ternating fie d which penetrates the g ass ceramic and
induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no onger transferred from a
heating e ement through the cooking pot into the food being cooked but the
necessary heat is generated direct y in the container by means of induction
currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
– Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot
(suitab e pots/pans made of magnetisab e materia are required).
– Increased safety as the energy is on y transferred when a pot is p aced on
the hob.
– Energy transfer between induction cooking zone and pot base with high
efficiency.
– High heat-up speed.
– The risk of burns is ow as the cooking area is on y heated through the pan
base, any food which boi s over does not stick to the surface.
– Rapid, sensitive contro of the energy supp y.
Some instructions on cookware
The cookware used for the induction cooking zone must be made of meta ,
have magnetic properties and a sufficient base area. Only use pots with a
base suitable for induction.
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
Conduct the magnet test described be ow or make sure that the pot bears the
symbo for suitabi ity for cooking with induction current.
Magnet test:
– Move the magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is attracted, you
can use the cookware on the induction hob.
Note:
When using pots suitab e for induction from some manufacturers, noises may
occur which are attributab e to the design of these pots.
