FAQs
Does this hob require special cookware?
Yes, induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base. Check if a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pots and pans. If it does, they are compatible.
How do I activate the PowerBoost function?
To activate PowerBoost, select a cooking zone, then press the PowerBoost icon (often indicated by a 'P' or similar symbol). The function automatically deactivates after a set period.
What is the Bridging function?
The Bridging function allows you to combine two adjacent cooking zones into one larger zone, providing more space and even heat distribution for larger pans or griddles.
Is Hob2Hood compatible with any cooker hood?
No, Hob2Hood technology is designed to work with specific compatible AEG cooker hoods. Please check the compatibility list in your hob's user manual or on the AEG website.
Can I install this hob myself?
This hob requires hardwiring and should be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper functioning.
How do I clean the induction hob surface?
Wipe the cooled surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a scraper designed for induction surfaces.
What are the dimensions of the hob?
The product dimensions are approximately 44mm (Height) x 590mm (Width) x 520mm (Depth).
Troubleshooting
Hob not turning on
Ensure the hob is properly connected to the power supply. Check your home's circuit breaker. Verify that the control lock is not activated.
Error code displayed
Refer to the user manual for a list of error codes and their specific meanings. Common codes may indicate a temporary issue or a need for professional service.
Cookware not heating
Confirm that the cookware has a magnetic base and is suitable for induction. Ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone and is of an appropriate size for the zone.
PowerBoost not working
PowerBoost has a limited activation time and may not be available on all zones simultaneously or continuously. Allow the zone to cool slightly if it has been used recently at high power.
Hob2Hood not connecting
Ensure both the hob and the cooker hood are powered on and within range. Check the user manuals for both appliances to confirm they are paired or set up correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, use a ceramic hob cleaner and a scraper designed for induction hobs (held at a low angle). Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
