AEG Induction Hob - Black

This hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. You can test your existing pots and pans by seeing if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom. Cast iron, magnetic stainless steel, and some enamel steel cookware are typically compatible.

To activate PowerBoost, select a cooking zone and then touch the 'P' symbol or the maximum power setting button. The zone will heat up rapidly, and the boost will typically last for a set period before returning to a high power level.

Hob2Hood is a feature that wirelessly connects your hob to a compatible AEG extractor hood. It automatically adjusts the hood's fan speed and lighting based on the intensity of your cooking, providing optimal ventilation without manual intervention.

Yes, the hob includes a ChildLock feature that locks the control panel to prevent accidental activation or changes by young children. Induction hobs also cool down quickly once cookware is removed, reducing burn risks compared to traditional hobs.

After the hob has cooled, wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a hob scraper. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

No, the AEG 5000 Induction Hob requires hard-wired installation. For safety and proper function, it is essential that installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations.

Check the main power supply to the hob. Ensure it is correctly hard-wired and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the ChildLock is active, deactivate it by holding the lock symbol until it unlocks.

Verify that your cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the pot or pan is centered correctly on the cooking zone and its diameter matches or is within the recommended range for that zone.

Confirm that your extractor hood is Hob2Hood compatible and correctly paired with the hob. Check if the Hob2Hood function is enabled on your hob's control panel. Ensure there are no obstructions between the hob and the hood's sensor.

Consult your user manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Often, turning the hob off at the main power for a few minutes and then back on can resolve temporary errors.

Some low humming or buzzing can be normal for induction hobs, especially at higher power settings or with certain types of cookware. If the noise is excessively loud or unusual, ensure cookware is flat-bottomed and suitable for induction. If concerns persist, contact customer service.
