- f Induction cooking
  - Induction cooking
  - 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:
    - Cookware
  - Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:
  - To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, refer to the section on ~ "Cookware check".
  - To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.
  - If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can find information on positioning cookware in the section on ~ "Flex Zone".
  - Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:
    - Unsuitable pans
  - Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
    - Properties of the base of the cookware
  - The material(s) from 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.
    - Absence of pan or unsuitable size
  - If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes...
    - Empty pans or those with a thin base
  - Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very hig...
    - Pan detection
  - Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material from which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the hotplate that best matches the diameter...

To activate the powerBoost function, select the cooking zone you wish to use, and then press the powerBoost button. This feature temporarily increases the power output to speed up the cooking process.

What should I do if my Siemens iQ700 hob is not responding to touch controls?

First, make sure the hob is connected to the power supply. If it is, try restarting the hob by turning it off and on again. Ensure your fingers and the surface are clean and dry. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact Siemens customer support.

How can I lock the controls on the Siemens iQ700 EX651FEC1E to prevent accidental use?

To lock the controls, press and hold the key symbol button until the lock icon appears on the display. This feature prevents any accidental changes to the hob settings. To unlock, press and hold the key symbol again.

What is the best way to clean the Siemens iQ700 EX651FEC1E Hob after use?

After the hob has cooled down, use a soft damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can scratch the surface. For stubborn stains, specialized ceramic hob cleaners are recommended.

How do I set a timer for a cooking zone on my Siemens iQ700 hob?

Select the desired cooking zone, then press the timer button. Use the plus or minus buttons to set the desired cooking time. The hob will automatically turn off the cooking zone when the timer runs out.

What does the "E" error code mean on the Siemens iQ700 EX651FEC1E Hob?

Can I use any type of cookware on the Siemens iQ700 induction hob?

The Siemens iQ700 induction hob requires cookware with a ferrous base. You can test this by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. Suitable materials include cast iron and some stainless steels.

How can I increase the energy efficiency when using the Siemens iQ700 EX651FEC1E Hob?

To increase energy efficiency, use cookware that matches the size of the cooking zone, keep lids on pots to retain heat, and utilize the residual heat indicator to finish cooking with remaining heat.

Why does my Siemens iQ700 hob make a buzzing noise?

The buzzing noise is normal and occurs due to the induction process. It can be more pronounced with certain types of cookware or at higher power settings. If the noise is excessive, ensure the cookware base is flat and matches the size of the cooking zone.

How do I reset the Siemens iQ700 EX651FEC1E Hob to its factory settings?
