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

hob. A hot hob can cause foil, plastic  
or paper to melt or burn.  
Put out flames with a lid, and  
never use water.  
Installation  
The product may only be installed  
by an authorised electrician or a per-  
son authorised by the manufacturer.  
Check that the hob is turned off  
when not in use.  
Persons with pacemakers should  
keep their upper body at a minimum  
distance of 30 cm from the zones  
when turned on.  
Never place any magnetically  
charged objects (e.g. credit cards,  
cassettes etc.) on the vitroceramic  
Work performed by unqualified  
persons could lead to injuries or  
damage to property, and spoil the  
hob itself. During installation  
make sure the electricity cable is  
not pinched.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Example:  
A hob of 720 mm + a downdraft of 180 mm + a gas hob of 360 mm.  
1. 720+180+360= 1260 mm  
2. Width of the hole: 1260-20=1240 mm  
Distance to Wall:  
Min. 150 mm to flammable material.  
Min. 50 mm to non-flammable material  
32  
 
Mounting:  
When mounting several hobs together you must use a reinforcement beam  
between each hob as well as the silicone supplied with the hobs (see fig.)  
1. Cut a hole of the calculated size in the table top  
2. Place the individual hobs upside down on a mat. Take care that the top side is  
not scratched.  
3. Mount the clamping fittings in the holes in the side of the base panels (see  
fig.)  
4. Place the first hob in the hole.  
5. Apply silicone to the two corners joining the next hob (see fig.)  
Use only the silicone supplied with the hobs as this is intended to tolerate the  
high temperatures of the appliance.  
6. Push a reinforcement beam up against the hob. Apply silicone on the rein-  
forcement beam (see fig.)  
7. Tighten the clamping fittings to the table top using a screwdriver.  
8. Repeat the process for the other hobs.  
Silicone  
33  
 
To optimise joints between the installed hobs, the gap between the ceramic hob  
may be grouted with silicone:  
1. Remove the aluminium panels from the hobs.  
2. Apply a stripe of silicone to the gap between the two ceramic hob. Use only  
the silicone supplied, as it is designed to tolerate the appliance’s high temper-  
ature. (Fig. 1)  
3. Splash a little soapy water (washing-up liquid) on the silicone stripe  
4. Press the rubber block hard against the ceramic hob and pull it slowly from  
back to front (Fig. 2)  
5. Leave the silicone to harden until the next day.  
6. Remove surplus silicone coating from the ceramic hob with the razorblade  
supplied. Be careful not to damage the silicone in the gap. Run tools only  
along the joint, never across it.  
7. Polish the ceramic hob with the supplied cleaning product for ceramic hobs.

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.

Check that the pans are suitable for  
induction. See the section: “How to  
use...Suitable pans” If “F” still flash-  
es, contact service. See section  
“Service and spare parts”.  
If the rear zone is set to levels 8  
or 9 while the front zone is set to  
Power, the front zone will revert  
to level 9.

ed. If you wish to use setting 8 or 9  
on the rear zone, the front zone cannot  
be set higher than level 9. Power will  
automatically be turned off.
