will automatically switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with h (as for “hot”) in the digital displays corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off when:
• Heat setting u, 1 - 2 after 6 hours
• Heat setting 3 - 4 after 5 hours
• Heat setting 5 after 4 hours
• Heat setting 6 - 9 after 1.5 hours
3 Should one or more cooking zones switch themselves off before the pe-
riods of time indicated have elapsed, see the chapter “What to do if …”.
Other causes for a cooking zone switching itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils
over and lands on the control panel.
The same thing will happen if you place a damp cloth on the control
panel. In both instances, after the liquid or cloth has been removed, the
appliance will need to be switched on again using the main switch I.

switched off, any residual heat is shown with an h (for
“Hot”) in the digital display for the appropriate cooking
zones.
Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the
residual heat indicator only goes out when the cooking zone is cold.
2 You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
1 Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there
is a risk of burns.
1 Important! If the power supply is interrupted the h symbol will also
go out and information about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it is still possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by taking care around the hob.
15
Cooking using the automatic warm up function
All of the cooking surface’s four cooking zones can be adjusted to any
of nine settings, and are equipped with an automatic warm up function:
– ¿, lowest heat setting
– Ç, highest heat setting
– a, automatic warm up function.
When you select the desired heat setting using the heat setting selector sensor panel, the cooking zone will operate at maximum power
for a certain period of time and will then automatically switch back to
the follow-on heat setting that has been set.
The length of time that the automatic warm up function operates depends on the follow-on heat setting selected.
1. Touch the heat setting selector sensor panel to set the desired heat
setting from ¿ to Æ. The heat setting that has been set will then be
displayed. After a period of 5 seconds, the a (=automatic warm up
function) will appear in the display in place of the heat setting. After
the warm up period has finished, the heat setting will once more be
displayed.
3 If you should choose a higher heat setting while the automatic func-
tion is in operation, e.g. from Á to Ã, the period of time that the warm
up function is in operation will be adjusted accordingly. If you select a
lower setting, the warm up period will end immediately.
You can cook using the automatic warm up function only if the cooking zone is cold or moderately warm. If a cooking zone is already hot
when you switch it on (h indicator), the automatic warm up function
cannot be used.

20
Timer
There are two ways to use the timer:
– as a safety cut-out function. Set a cooking period for a cooking
zone, and after this time has elapsed the cooking zone will automatically switch itself off. This function can be used for more than one
cooking zone simultaneously.
– as a countdown timer without a cut-out function (“egg timer”),
whereby an acoustic signal can be heard after the set period of time
has elapsed.
3 The countdown timer cannot be used if a cooking zone is switched on.
Safety cut-out
The cooking zone(s) for which you want to use the safety cut-out function must be switched on.
1. Using the timer sensor panel, select the cooking zone for which the
safety cut-out is to be set.
By touching the timer sensor panel once the first active cooking zone is
selected in a clockwise direction, and the corresponding control lamp
will flash rapidly. Hereby the (e.g.) left rear control lamp corresponds to
the left rear cooking zone. 00 will appear in the timer display.
The next active cooking zone is selected by touching the timer sensor
panel again.
21
2. While the control lamp is flashing rapidly, use the + or - timersetting
sensor panels to set the desired period of time for this cooking zone up
until the point where it automatically switches itself off (e.g.
15 minutes).
The safety cut-out function will be activated after several minutes
The control lamp will now flash more slowly and the remaining cooking
time will be shown in the display as it elapses. If the safety cut-out
function has been set for more than one cooking zone, the time displayed will be that for the cooking zone with the shortest period of
cooking time remaining. The control lamps for the other cooking zones
for which the safety cut-out function has been set will illuminate. To
display the remaining cooking time for any of these cooking zones, it
must be selected using the timer sensor panel, and the corresponding
control lamp will then flash rapidly.
To reset the remaining cooking time the desired cooking zone must be
selected using the timer sensor panel. The corresponding control lamp
will then flash more rapidly. The settings are reset using the + or -
timer setting sensor panels.
After the set period of cooking time has elapsed the cooking zone automatically switches itself off, an acoustic signal sounds for two minutes and the timer display flashes 00.
3. To switch off the signal, touch the timer sensor panel.
3 To make the setting more quickly, touch any of the + or - timer set-
ting sensor panels until the desired value is reached.
If the - timer setting sensor panel is actuated first, the time setting
will begin at 99 minutes, and if the + timer setting sensor panel is actuated first, the time setting will begin at 1 minute.
22
Switching off the safety cut-out function before it
has come to an end
There are two ways to switch off the safety cut-out function before it
has come to an end.
Switch off the cooking zone and timer simultaneously
1. Using the heat setting selector sensor panel, reset the desired cook-
ing zone to zero: the cooking zone and timer will switch themselves
off.
Switch off the timer – the cooking zone remains active
1. Select the desired cooking zone using the timer sensor panel. The corre-
sponding control lamp will then flash more rapidly.
2. Using the - timer setting sensor panel, set the timer to 00:
– only the timer will switch itself off.
– the cooking zone will remain in operation.
Countdown timer
To be able to use the countdown timer the appliance must be switched
on, but all the cooking zones must be switched off.
1. Touch the timer sensor panel.
00 will be shown in the timer display.
2. Set the desired period of time using the + or - timer setting sensor
panels.
The countdown timer function will be activated after several minutes
and the remaining time will be displayed.
To reset the remaining time, touch the timer sensor panel and change
the setting using the + or - sensor panels for setting the timer.
After the set period of time has elapsed an acoustic signal sounds and
the timer display flashes 00.
3. To switch off the signal, touch the timer sensor panel.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of
the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper
rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring
on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across
the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normal-
ly bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use special types of
pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Energy saving tips
• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
• Whenever possible always posi-
tion the lids firmly on pots and
pans to cover completely.
• Switch off the cooking zones be-
fore the end of the cooking time
to use the residual heat such as to
keep foods warm or for melting.
• The base of the pan should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
24
Advice on Cooking with and without Automatic Warm up
The automatic warm up function is suitable for:
• dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high power and do not
need to be continually watched when cooking on the selected heat
setting,
• dishes that are put in a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm up function is not suitable for:
• goulash, beef olives and similar braised dishes that need continual
turning until browned correctly, have liquid added and are then
braised until cooked,
• dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liquid,
• cooking with pressure cookers,
• very large quantities of soup/ stew with more than 2 litres of liquid.
General notes:
• When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recom-
mend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the
button) and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate
lower heat setting.
• Take special note of the results when you first use the appliance! You
can then decide which heat setting is the best for "your dishes" in the
"quantities you are accustomed to preparing" with "your pans". You
will then quickly appreciate the advantages of the automatic function and will feel relaxed about using your new hob.

Cleaning and Care
Hob
1 Important: Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot
ceramic glass surface! All cleaning agents must be removed with plenty
of clean water after cleaning because they can have a caustic effect
when the rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse
scourers or abrasive pan cleaners.
3 Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is warm to the
touch or cold. This will avoid spillages becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and discolouration with a metallic shimmer using a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless
steel cleaner.
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaner must not be left
on the surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once a week
with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water and
rub dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over
or stubborn splashes, use a glass
scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle
to the ceramic glass surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the blade.
3 You can obtain glass scrapers and
ceramic glass cleaners from specialist retailers.

diately and while still hot.
1 Important: There is a risk of burning
yourself when the glass scraper is
used on a hot cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it
has cooled down.
3 If the cooking zone on which some-
thing has melted has already cooled
down, warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface, caused for example by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However, they
do not impair the function of the hob.
