IMPORTANT SAFET Y I NS T RU CT I ONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been

designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions

carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the

risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions

must be followed, including those in the following pages.

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of

transport damage, do not plug it in.

Fire Safety

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to

come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or

grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be

certain that flammable materials such as window

coverings do not blow over or near the burners or

elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may

ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

a.

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries

Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c.

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,

drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,

highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN

THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

a.

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie

sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE

CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not

go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

b.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

c.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d.

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and

you already know how to operate it.

- The fire is small and contained in the area where it

started.

- The fire department is being called.

- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system

during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire

to turn it off.

Cooking Safety

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable

materials contact surface units or areas near units until

they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas

are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up

of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause

injury.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when

necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil

slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is

capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.

Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie

long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear

loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,

scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop.

Never set down metallic objects such as knives, forks,

spoons and lids on the cooktop.

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

The pan detection shut-off feature may not turn off the

cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed on

the cooktop.

If the display does not work when a cooking area is

heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the

electrical panel. Contact an authorized servicer.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance,

it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to

ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by

qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming

drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the

appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing

severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach

items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot

surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from

steam.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.

This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of

the heating element or burner to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.

This appliance is equipped with one or more surface

units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to

heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops

may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only

pans that are appropriate for ceramic induction

cooktops.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not

extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of

the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and

burns.

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY

When cooking with a double-boiler, the cooktop and

cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The

cooking vessel in the double-boiler must not come in

direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water.

Use only heat-resistant cookware.

WARNING

DANGER OF INJURY

Cookware may jump upward due to fluid trapped

between the cookware bottom and cooking zone. Always

keep cooking zone and cookware bottom dry.

Electromagnetic interference

WARNING

This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM

frequency energy that heats cookware by using an

electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies

with Part 18of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This

induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to

minimize interference with other devices in residential

installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference

with television or radio reception. If interference occurs,

the user should try to correct the interference by:

▯ Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or

television.

▯ Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the

receiver.

▯ Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the

cooktop.

It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.

CAUTION

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device

should exercise caution when standing near an induction

cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the

manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device

for additional information about its effects with

electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.

Cooling fan

The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan on its

underside. Should the cooktop lie above a drawer, there

must be no objects or paper in it. They may be sucked in

and compromise the cooling of the appliance or damage

the fan.

There must be a minimum distance of ¾" (20mm)

between the content of the drawer and the fan input.

Causes of damage

NOTICES

▯ Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with

rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.

▯ Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will

scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the

cooktop as a working surface or for setting things

down.

▯ Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans

that are empty.

▯ Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on

the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.

▯ Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling

on the cooktop may damage it.

▯ Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing

sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate

spills of these products with a glass scraper.

▯ Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt

on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't

suitable for your cooktop.

▯ Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic

discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from

the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion

from cookware.

Protecting the Environment

Energy-saving Advice

▯ Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered

pan will result in a considerable increase in energy

use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid

having to lift the lid.

▯ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.

Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.

▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of

the element. Note: The manufacturer normally

indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally

greater than the diameter of the pan's base.

▯ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of

food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only

half full will use a lot of energy.

▯ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This

saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger

percentage of their vitamins and minerals.

▯ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If

the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Cooking with Induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional

cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of

cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

▯ Saves time when boiling and frying.

▯ Saves energy.

▯ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not

burn on as quickly.

▯ Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or

decreases the heat supply as soon as the user

changes the setting. The induction element stops the

heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from

the element, without having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,

such as:

▯ Cookware made from enameled steel

▯ Cookware made from cast iron

▯ Special induction-compatible cookware made from

stainless steel.

To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction

cooking, refer to the section on ~ "Suitability test of

cookware".

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area

on the base of the pan should match the size of the

element. If an element does not detect an item of

cookware, try placing it on another element with a

smaller diameter.

Some induction cookware does not have a fully

ferromagnetic base:

▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially

ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will

heat up. This may mean that heat will not be

distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may

not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

▯ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the

material of which the base of the cookware is made

contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that

the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even

that it will not be detected.

A cookware set specifically suited for use with induction

cooktops can be purchased as an optional accessory

from specialist retailers, online at the Bosch e-Shop or

from Customer Support.

Order the relevant reference number: HEZ390042

The set contains the following pieces:

▯ Saucepan 6¼" (16 cm)

▯ Pot 6¼" (16 cm)

▯ Pot 8¾" (22 cm)

▯ Pot 9½" (24 cm)

Unsuitable cookware

Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware

made of:

▯ Traditional stainless steel

▯ Glass

▯ Clay

▯ Copper

▯ Aluminum

Properties of the base of the cookware

The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is

made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans

made from materials that distribute heat evenly through

them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer

base, saves time and energy.

Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the

cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

No pan or improper size

If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is

made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the

power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.

Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.

If you take longer than 90seconds to place a suitable

pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.

Empty pans or pans with a thin base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.

The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.

However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the

"automatic shut-off" function may not have time to react,

and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan

base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this

case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If

the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please

contact Customer Support.

Pan detection

Each element has a lower limit for pan detection. This

depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the

cookware and the material of which its base is made. For

this reason, you should always use the element that best

matches the diameter of the base of the pan.

10

Getting familiar with the appliance

indicator is lit up.

The following indicators are shown depending on the

amount of residual heat:

▯ Display •: High temperature

▯ Display œ: Low temperature

If you remove the cookware from the cooking zone

during cooking, the residual heat indicator and the

selected heat setting will flash alternately.

When the cooking zone is switched off, the residual heat

indicator will light up. Even after the cooktop has been

switched off, the residual heat indicator will stay lit for as

long as the cooking zone is still warm.

9 CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while

the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper.

The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your

health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack

and damage the surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool, with the

following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,

tomato products and milk immediately with the razor

blade scraper (see cleaning chart).

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper

towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge

remains; rinse.

Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel

or cloth.

Stainless steel side trim

Wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/heavy

soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach).

Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

Cleaning guidelines

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to

a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and

buff with a clean dry towel.

using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in

the scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element. Wear-

ing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30° angle, using care

not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the

heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the

residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Frequently-asked questions and answers

(FAQ)

Metal marks: Iridescent stain Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may

leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled

with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not

remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft

Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse

and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to

remove metal marks before the next heating makes

removal very difficult.

Hard water spots:

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the sur-

face and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse

and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop

again.

Surface scratches:

Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking.

They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use

of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to

remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and sea-

soning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with

bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use

recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.

NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.

Noises

Why can I hear noises while I'm cooking?

Noises may be generated while using the cooktop depending on the base material of the cookware. These

noises are a normal part of induction technology. They do not indicate a problem.

Possible noises:

A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:

Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat set-

ting is reduced.

Low whistling noise:

Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.

Fixing Malfunctions

Malfunctions are usually due to something minor. Before

calling Customer Support, you should consider the

following advice and warnings.

9 CAUTION

Repairs should only be done by an authorized

servicer.

Improper repair of your appliance may result in risk

of severe physical injury or death.

Crackling:

Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different

sizes and different materials at the same time. The volume of the noise can vary depending on the quantity

of food being cooked or the cooking method.

High-pitched whistling noises:

Can occur when two elements are used on the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises

disappear or become quieter when the heat setting is reduced.

Fan noise:

The cooktop is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may con-

tinue to run even after you have switched off the cooktop if the temperature detected is still too high.
