To activate the powerBoost function, select the cooking zone and then press the powerBoost button on the control panel. This will temporarily increase the power output for faster heating.
First, check the circuit breaker to ensure power is being supplied. If the hob still doesn't turn on, ensure it is properly plugged in and that the control panel is not locked. If issues persist, contact Siemens customer support.
Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water for regular cleaning. For stubborn stains, use a ceramic hob scraper and a specialized hob cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
The hob is designed for induction-compatible cookware. Ensure your pots and pans have a ferrous base. You can check compatibility using a magnet; if it sticks to the base, it is suitable for induction cooking.
To lock the control panel, press and hold the key lock button until the indicator light turns on. This will prevent any changes to the settings until it is unlocked by holding the button again.
The "E" error code indicates specific issues such as overheating or sensor faults. Refer to the user manual for detailed explanations of each code, or contact Siemens support for assistance.
Select the desired cooking zone and press the timer button. Use the + and - buttons to set the desired cooking duration. The hob will automatically turn off the zone once the timer ends.
The humming noise is normal and is caused by the magnetic field generated by the induction process. It is more noticeable at higher power settings and with specific types of cookware.
To reset the hob, turn off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes, then turn it back on. This can resolve minor software issues and restore default settings.
Uneven heating can occur if the cookware is not centered properly or if the base is not flat. Ensure the cookware is of good quality and induction-compatible for optimal performance.
