function
• Cooking zones are grouped according to the location and number
of the phases in the hob. See the
illustration.
www.aeg.com12                                  
						

							• Each phase has a maximum electricityload.
• The function divides the power between cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• The function activates when the total electricity loading of the cooking
zones connected to a single phase is exceeded.
• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between two
levels.6.  HOB - HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.6.1  CookwareFor induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct:  cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark
from a manufacturer).
• not correct:  aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically to some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a smaller diameter than
the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.6.2  Minimum cookware

eter (mm)Left rear125 - 140Right rear145 - 180Right front145 - 180Left front180 - 2106.3  The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level. • clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.

							6.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional tothe increase of the cooking zoneconsumption of power. It means that the
cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.The data in the table is for
guidance only.Heat settingUse to:Time

Refer to Safety chapters.7.1  General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean
bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the surface of the hob.www.aeg.com14     
						

							• Use a special scraper for the glass.7.2 Cleaning the hob
•Remove immediately:  melted plastic,
plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not,
the dirt can cause damage to the hob.
Put the special scraper on the glass
surface at an acute angle and move
the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool:  limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the hob with a moist cloth and
non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft
cloth.8.  OVEN - DAILY USEWARNING!

							8.3 Activating and
deactivating the top / main
ovenIt depends on the model if
your appliance has knob
symbols, indicators or
lamps:
• The indicator comes on when the oven heats up.
• The lamp comes on when the oven operates.
• The symbol shows whether the knob
controls one of the
cooking zones, the oven
functions or the
temperature.
1. Turn the knob for the top / main
oven functions to select an oven

Wire shelf and the deep pan together:
Push the deep pan between the guide
bars of the shelf support and the wireshelf on the guide bars above.• All accessories have small indentations at the top of
the right and left side to
increase safety. The
indentations are also anti-
tip devices.
• The high rim around the shelf is a device which
prevents cookware from
slipping.8.6  Trivet and Grill- / Roasting
panWARNING!
Be careful when you remove
the accessories from a hot
appliance. There is a risk of
burns.
You can use the trivet to roast larger pieces of meat or poultry on one shelf
position.

that the supports of the wire shelf
point up.
2. Put the deep pan into the oven on
the necessary shelf position.

Refer to Safety chapters.The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
Always preheat an empty
oven at the temperature
required for the food for 20
minutes before you start
cooking.10.1  Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants
or quiche.
10.2  Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.3  Baking
• Your oven may bake or roast
differently to the appliance you had
before. Adapt your usual settings
(temperature, cooking times) and
shelf positions to the values in the
tables.
• The manufacturer recommends that you use the lower temperature the
first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is
almost the same.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally
at first. If this occurs, do not change
the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can deactivate the oven approximately 10
minutes before the end of the baking time and then use the residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in
the oven can twist during baking. When
the trays become cold again, the
distortions are gone.10.4  Tips on bakingBaking resultsPossible causeRemedyThe bottom of the cake is
not browned sufficiently.The shelf position is incor-
