Siemens iQ700 EX NY Series, iQ700 EX677NYV6E - Induction Hob Manual

Avoiding material damage

This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

Damage	Cause	Measure
Stains	Unsupervised cooking process.	Monitor the cooking process.
Stains, blisters	Spilled food, especially food with a high sugar content.	Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or fractures in the glass	Defective cookware, cookware with melted enamel or cookware with copper or aluminium base.	Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
Stains, discolouration	Unsuitable cleaning methods.	Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when it is cold.
Blisters or fractures in the glass	Knocks or falling cookware, cooking accessories or other hard or pointed objects.	When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolouration	Rough cookware bases or moving the cookware on the hob.	Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it.
Scratches	Salt, sugar or sand.	Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Damage to the appliance	Cooking with frozen cookware.	Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cookware or the appliance Glass damage	Cooking without contents.	Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone.
	Melted material on the hot cooking zone or hot pot lid on the glass.	Do not place greaseproof paper or aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob.
Overheating	Hot cookware on the control panel or on the frame.	Never place hot cookware on these areas.

ATTENTION
A fan is located on the underside of this hob.

• If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob, do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling.
• There must be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.

Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
  Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
• Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.

Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

• When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

Use a glass lid.

• You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.

Use pots and pans with flat bases.

• Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.

• Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.

Cook with only a little water.

• The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.

Turn down to a lower power level early on.

• If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.

Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found online on the product page for your appliance.

Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.
Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable. Refer to → "Cookware test" for more details.

Cookware	Materials	Properties
Recommended cookware	Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
	Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
Suitable	The base is not fully ferromagnetic.	If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
	Cookware bases that contain aluminium.	These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable	Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Notes

• Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
• Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Cooking with induction

In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly in the cookware.

Control panel

Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ from the figure.

Tip: Always keep the control panel clean and dry.

Note: Do not place any cookware near the displays or sensors. The electronics may overheat.

Selection sensors

When you switch on the hob, the symbols for the controls available at this time light up.
⁠
Depending on the status of the hob, the displays for the cooking zones and the various activated and available functions also light up.

Distribution of the cooking zones

The specified power has been measured with the standard pots, which are described in IEC/EN 60335-2-6. The power may vary depending on the size of the cookware or cookware material.

Cooking zone

Before you start cooking, check whether the size of the cookware fits the cooking zone that you want to use for cooking:

Area	Cooking zone type
	Single-circuit cooking zone
	Flex Zone → "flexInduction".
	Extended FlexZone → "flexInduction Plus".

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. Do not touch the cooking zone if the residual heat indicator is lit.

Display	Meaning
	The cooking zone is hot.
	The cooking zone is warm.

Before using for the first time

Observe the following recommendations.

Initial cleaning

Remove any leftover packaging from the hob surface and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You can find a list of recommended detergents on the official website siemens-home.bsh-group.com.

• To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after the other.
• Some items of cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. You should therefore use oven gloves.
• You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking under →"Saving energy".

Cooking recommendations

flexInduction

The flexible cooking zone allows you to position cookware of any shape or size any way you like. It consists of four inductors that work independently of each other. When the flexible cooking zone is in use, only the area that is covered by cookware is activated.

Positioning the cookware

The flexible cooking zone can be configured in two ways, depending on which cookware is used. In order to guarantee good thermal detection and heat distribution, we recommend positioning the cookware in the centre, as shown in the figures.

As a connected cooking zone

Recommended for cooking with just one item of cookware.

• Position the cookware depending on the size:
  
• Recommended oblong cookware
  

As two separate cooking zones

Recommended for cooking with two items of cookware.

You can use the front and rear zone independently of one another, and set a separate power level for each zone.

Do not place cookware in the middle between the right and left zones. The cooking zones are not activated correctly and you do not achieve a good cooking result.
