Control Panel
How do I turn off the child lock on my Siemens hob?
You can use the childproof lock to prevent children from switching on the hob.
Activating and deactivating the childproof lock
The hob must be off.
To activate:
- Switch on the hob using the main switch.
- Touch and hold the ”lock control panel” symbol for approx. 4 seconds. The ”childproof lock” indicator lights up for 10 seconds. The hob is locked.
To deactivate:
- Switch on the hob using the main switch.
- Touch and hold the ”lock control panel” symbol for approx. 4 seconds. The lock is released.
With this function, the childproof lock automatically activates when a hob is switched off.
Cleaning
Cleaning Suitable maintenance and cleaning products can be purchased from the after-sales service or in our e-Shop.
Always clean the hob after cooking. This will prevent food deposits from becoming burned on. Only clean the hob after the residual heat indicator has gone out. Clean the hob with a damp dish cloth and dry it with a cloth or towel to prevent limescale build-up. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of hob. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the product packaging.
Never use:
- Undiluted washing-up liquid
- Cleaning agents designed for diswashers
- Abrasive cleaners
- Harsh cleaning agents, such as oven spray and limescale remover
- Scouring pads
- High-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
Stubborn dirt is best removed with a glass scraper, available from retailers. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions. You can obtain a suitable glass scraper from customer services or through our online shop. Using a special sponge for cleaning glass-ceramic hobs achieves a great cleaning result.
Potential marks
- Limescale and water marks. Clean the hob as soon as it has cooled down. You can use a cleaning agent suitable for glass-ceramic hobs.
- Sugar, rice starch or plastic Clean immediately. Use a glass scraper. Caution: Risk of burns.
Note: Do not use any cleaning agents while the hob is still hot. This may mark the surface. Make sure that any residue left by cleaning agents is removed.
How do I clean the hob?
Using a special glass-ceramic cleaning agent produces the best results. We advise against using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, dishwater detergent (concentrated) or scouring pads.
Troubleshooting
| Trouble | Cause |
|---|---|
| Why can't I switch on the hob and why is the childproof lock symbol lit? | The childproof lock is activated. |
| Why are the displays flashing and why can I hear an audible signal? | Remove any liquid or food remains from the control panel. Remove any objects from the control panel. |
| Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking? | Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are a normal part of induction technology. They do not indicate a defect. |
| Possible noises | A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes: Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced. |
| Low whistling noise: Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware. | |
| Crackling: Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at the same time. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method. | |
| Why is the hotplate not heating up and why is the heat setting flashing? | The hotplate on which the cookware is standing is not switched on. Check that you have switched on the correct hotplate. |
| The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking. Check that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking and that it is placed on the hotplate that best corresponds to its size. | |
| Why is it taking so long for the cookware to heat up or why is it not heating up sufficiently despite being on a high heat setting? | The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking. Check that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking and that it is placed on the hotplate that best corresponds to its size. |
