FAQs
Does this hob work with my aluminum pans?
Only if the aluminum pans have a magnetic stainless steel plate bonded to the bottom. If a magnet does not stick to the base, the hob will not heat the pan.
How do I activate the child lock?
Typically, you press and hold the designated lock symbol on the touch panel until the indicator light illuminates, confirming the controls are locked.
What should I do if the residual heat indicator stays on?
This is a safety feature. The light will remain on until the ceramic surface temperature has dropped to a safe level for touch.
Can I use the pause function while cooking?
Yes, the pause function allows you to temporarily suspend all heating zones at their current settings and resume them when you are ready.
How do I clean spills on the ceramic glass?
For light spills, use a damp cloth. For burnt-on food, use a dedicated ceramic hob scraper at a shallow angle once the surface has cooled completely.
Troubleshooting
The hob does not recognize the cookware
Verify that your cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base) and centered properly on the cooking zone.
Touch controls are unresponsive
Ensure the control panel is clean and dry. If the child lock is active, hold the lock button for three seconds to deactivate it.
Hob shuts off automatically
Check if the safety timer has expired or if the unit has triggered an overheat protection shutdown due to prolonged high-heat operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this hob must be performed by a qualified professional to ensure a secure integrated fit within your kitchen countertop. Because this unit relies on electromagnetic induction, ensure all your pots and pans have a magnetic base; if a magnet sticks to the bottom of your cookware, it is compatible. To maintain the ceramic surface, allow the unit to cool fully before cleaning. Use a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to prevent micro-scratches, and avoid sliding heavy cast-iron pans across the glass to maintain its pristine white finish.
