OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the
following safety instructions.
Electrical Safety
• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be
carried out by a registered specialist.
• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing,
please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre or your dealer.
Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the
3
event of damages.
• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of
German Electrical Engineers].
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– switch off or remove the hob fuse.
98
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always
keep small children away from the appliance.
Page 5
Operating Instructions
Safety Whilst Using
• This appliance may only be used for boiling and frying food in the
home.
• Do not use the hob to heat the room.
• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby.
Connection cables must not make contact with hot cooking rings.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise
cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• Switch off the cooking zones after use.
Safety When Cleaning
Switch the appliance off before cleaning. For safety reasons cleaning
the appliance with a steam jet cleaner or high-pressure water cleaner is
not permissible.
99
Page 6
Operating Instructions
To Avoid Damaging your Appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans
are empty.
• Glass ceramic is resistant to changes in temperature and very robust;
however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that
fall on the cooking surface can damage it.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to
the paint may occur.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling
agents, are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot
cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately
with a scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be damaged when it is removed.
• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the glass
ceramic surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt onto the glass ceramic surface, it
must also be removed immediately using the scraper.

Operating Instructions
The Key Features of Your Appliance
• Glass ceramic cooking surface: The appliance has a glass ceramic
cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The particularly
powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of
time taken for the zones to heat up.
• Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using
TOUCH CONTROL sensor fields.
• Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface and
the sensor fields is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat
surface is easy to clean (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
• On/Off sensor field: The “On/Off” sensor field provides the appliance
with a separate mains switch. Touching this switches the power supply on or off completely.
• Displays: Digital displays show information about selected heat set-
tings, functions activated and any possible residual heat in the appropriate cooking zone.
• Safety cutoff: A safety cutoff ensures that all cooking zones switch
off automatically after a period of time if the setting has not been
changed.
• Keep warm setting: ! is the setting for keeping foods warm.
• Residual heat indicator: An h for residual heat is shown in the dis-
play if the cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.
• Multipurpose cooking zone: The hob is equipped with a multipur-
pose/casserole cooking zone. Depending on the setting, it can be used
as a round or oval cooking zone, e.g. for oval casseroles or for keeping
dishes or food warm.
• Double and triple cooking zone: In addition the hob has a double
and a triple cooking zone. This means the appliance offers cooking
zones of variable sizes, suitable, for example, for smaller milk pans.
This enables you to save energy.
• Timer: All rings can be automatically switched off using the inte-
grated timer. When the end of the cooking time has been reached,
the cooking zone switches off.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
• 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 glass ceramic 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 normally 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.
118
Energy saving tips
2
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power
consumption.
• Whenever possible always position the lids firmly
on pots and pans to cover completely.
• Switch off the cooking zones before 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.
• Using a pressure cooker reduces
cooking times by up to 50%.
Page 25
Operating Instructions
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-
3
mend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the
- button) and then leaving the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate lower heat setting.
• You can use the ! heat setting for keeping food warm.
• 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 secure about using your new hob.

Cleaning and Care
Hob
Important: Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot
1
glass ceramic 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.
Clean the glass ceramic surface after each use when it is warm to the
3
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 glass ceramic or
stainless steel cleaner such as “Hob Brite”.
Light Soiling
0 1. Wipe the glass ceramic 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 glass ceramic cooking surface once a week
with a commercially available glass ceramic or stainless steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the glass ceramic surface using plenty of clean water
and rub dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
0 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 glass ceramic surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the blade.
You can obtain glass scrapers and
3
glass ceramic cleaners from specialist retailers.
121
Page 28
Operating Instructions
1 Problem Dirt
0 1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plas-
tic, aluminium foil or other meltable
materials with a glass scraper imme-
diately and while still hot.
Important: There is a risk of burning
1
yourself when the glass scraper is
used on a hot cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it
has cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which
3
something has melted has already
cooled down, warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the glass ceramic surface, caused for example by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However, they
do not impair the function of the hob.
Hob Frame
Important! Do not put vinegar, lemon-juice or scale removers on the
1
hob frame, otherwise dull spots will appear.
0 1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe off and rub dry.

SERVICE
In the “What to do if …” section a number of malfunctions are listed
that you can rectify yourself Look there first if a fault occurs.
Is it a technical fault?
If so, please contact your customer service centre. (You will find
addresses and telephone numbers in the section “Customer Service
Centres”.)
Always prepare in advance for the discussion. This will make diagnosis
of the problem easier and also make it easier to decide if a customer
service visit is necessary:
Please make a note of the following
information as accurately as possible:
• What form does the fault take?
• Under what circumstances does the
fault occur?
Prior to the telephone call it is
important that you make a note of
the following appliance code numbers that are given on the rating

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?
• if you could have remedied the fault yourself using the fault table
(see section “What do I do if ...”),
• if the customer service technician has to make several journeys
because he was not provided with all the relevant information before
his visit and therefore, forexample, has to fetch spare parts. These
multiple trips can be avoided if you prepare your phone call as
described above.
