FAQs

How do I clean the hob?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after it has cooled down. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

What type of cookware can I use?

Use cookware with a flat bottom and a magnetic base. You can test it with a magnet.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the grease filter regularly, as per the manufacturer's instructions, usually after every few uses. The frequency depends on your cooking habits.

Where can I get a replacement carbon filter?

Replacement carbon filters can be purchased from the manufacturer or a reputable appliance retailer.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is one year.

Can I use the hob if the ventilation system is not connected to ducting?

Yes, but it will recirculate the air back into the kitchen, which may not be ideal for removing cooking odors and fumes as effectively. You may need to purchase a carbon filter.

What do the residual heat indicators mean?

The residual heat indicators light up to show that the cooking zone is still hot after use, to prevent accidental burns. Do not touch the cooking zone until the indicator turns off.

Troubleshooting

Hob not turning on.

Check the power connection and ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Poor ventilation performance.

Check and clean the grease filter. Ensure the ducting (if installed) is not blocked.

Cookware not recognized.

Ensure your cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base).
