Children’s safety

•Small children must be kept away from the appliance.

•Only let bigger children work on the appliance under supervision.

•To avoid small children and pets unintentionally switching the appliance on, we recommend activation of the child safety device.

General safety

•The appliance may only be installed and connected by trained, registered service engineers.

•Built-in appliances may only be used after they have built in to suitable built-in units and work surfaces that meet standards.

•In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ceramic (cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.

•Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by trained registered service engineers.

Safety during use

•Remove stickers and film from the glass ceramic.

•There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used carelessly.

•Cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot surface of the appliance or hot cookware.

•Overheated fats and oils can ignite very quickly. Warning! Fire hazard!

•Switch the cooking zones off after each use.

•Users with implanted pacemakers should keep their upper body at least 30 cm from induction cooking zones that are switched on.

4 Description of the Appliance

•Risk of burns! Do not place objects made of metal, such as knives, forks, spoons and saucepan lids on the cooking surface, as they can get hot.

Safety when cleaning

•For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.

•For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

•The glass ceramic can be damaged by objects falling onto it.

•The edge of the glass ceramic can be damaged by being knocked by the cookware.

•Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic if pushed across the surface.

Residual heat indicator

1Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .

3Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Power Management

The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power.

The maximum power is reached when the heat setting 9 has been set for all cooking zones. Two cooking zones generate a pair (see figure) and therefore, the power management shares the maximum available power between these cooking zones.

When the power function is selected for one cooking zone, the power management makes the additional power for this cooking zone available by reducing the power of the corresponding other cooking zone.

Operating the appliance

Example: the heat setting 9 is selected on one

cooking zone. The power function is switched on for the corresponding cooking zone. The power function is carried out but the heat setting 9 of one of the cooking zones and the power function for the other cooking zone of

the pair exceed the maximum power for both

at the same time. For this purpose, the power management reduces the power of the cooking zone that switched on first from 9 to example 5 and the display of this cooking zone changes between 9 and 5 and then stays at the current possible maximum 5. (If the display changes between 9 and 5 or 9 and 3 or another value depends on the type of appliance and the size of the cooking zone.).

Using the child safety device

8 Tips on Cooking and Frying

Tips on Cooking and Frying

3Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

3* Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …

•... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated very quickly.

•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware base

The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.

Pan size

Up to a certain limit, induction cooking zones adapt themselves to the size of the bottom of the cookware automatically. However, depending on the cooking zone size, the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter.

Diameter of cooking zone	Minimum diameter of dish base [mm]
[mm]
210	180
180	145
140	120

3The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.

14 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

1Safety instructions

Warning! This must be read!

The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.) Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed. Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance.

The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant.

The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap.

Do not use silicon sealant between the appliance and the work top.

When building in, protect the underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven.

Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.

zRisk of injury from electrical current.

•The electrical mains terminal is live.

•Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.

•Follow connection schematic.

•Observe electrical safety rules.

•Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.

•The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.

zRisk of injury from electrical current.

•Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.

•Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.

•Use strain relief clamp on cable.

•In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C(or higher) or an equivalent type must be used.

•If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher) or an equivalent type. The latter is available from the Customer Care Department.

A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm.
