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.

Safety During Use

•This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

•Do not use the hob to heat the room.

Electrical Safety

•The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

•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 customer center or your dealer.

3Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage that may occur.

•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,

–disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

•Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.

•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.

Special Notes on Induction Cooking Zones

•Scientific studies have shown that patients who are fitted with implanted pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our induction cooking zones.

The distance between the body and the cooking zone should, however, never be less than 30 cm!

•Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable transistor radios.

•Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards, cassettes) on the glass ceramic surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use!

•Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the induction surface as they can be warmed up when the induction surface is in use.

Child Safety

The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep small children away from the appliance.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

3Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking zones. This is not a fault in the hob and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result.

4

Safety When Cleaning

•For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.

•Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

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.

•Ceramic glass is insensitve to temperature shock 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 ceramic glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed immediately using the scraper.

5

2 Disposal

Disposing of the packaging material

All materials used can be fully recycled.

Plastics are marked as follows:

•>PE< for polyethylene, as used for the outer wrapping and the bags inside.

•>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g., as used for the padding materials. They are completely free of CFCs.

Disposal of old appliances

1Warning: Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable so that they cannot be the source of danger.

To do this, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and remove the mains lead.

To protect the environment, it is important that worn out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.

•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.

The Key Features of Your Appliance

•Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass cooking surface including two rapid-heating cooking zones with special high-per- formance radiant elements, and two induction cooking zones. With the induction method, the base of the cooking vessel is heated first, not the ceramic glass.

•Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using Touch Control sensor fields.

•Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface and the sensor fields is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat surface is easy to clean.

•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.

•Control and function indicators: Digital indicators or control lamp provide information about settings made, functions activated, as well as any residual heat of the corresponding cooking zone.

•Safety cut-out: A safety cut-out ensures that all cooking zones switch off automatically after a period of time if the setting has not been changed.

•Power device: With this device the power for the appropriate cooking rings can be temporarily increased.

•Keep warm setting: 1 is the setting for keeping foods warm.

•Residual heat indicator: An h for residual heat is shown in the display if the cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

•Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a double-ring cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking zone with a variable size, for instance for smaller pots. This is a saving in energy.

•Timer: All zones can be automatically switched off using the integrated timer. When the end of the cooking time has been reached, the cooking zone switches off.

Function and the Way the

Induction Cooking Zone

Works

A copper wire induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This generates electromagnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans and not, as with other heating up methods, first heating the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, which saves time and energy.

Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan the cooking zone itself hardly warms up. It only receives the reflected heat from the pan base.

Note:

If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone there is no energy transfer (heating up) and therefore gives protection against the cooking zones being switched on accidentally.

3A cooling fan is an integral part of this hob and comes on automatically depending on the temperature of the induction cooking zone. The cooling fan works in two speed levels depending on usage. The cooling fan will continue to run for a short period after the cooking zone has been switched off.

The Digital Displays

Digits 1 to 9 and four different letters can appear in the display.

• The digits show the cooking stage set: 1= Lowest capacity

9 = Highest capacity

•The following letters and functions are displayed for all cooking zones:

1h = Residual Heat Display

Danger! Cooking zone still hot; it extinguishes when the cooking zone has cooled down. This display appears only if the cooking zone is switched off.

a = Automatic heating-up (possible for all cooking zones)

is lit, if the cooking zone is set to automatic heatingup; (is lit until the automatic feature switches over to the set continued cooking stage).

_ = Lights up when the automatic switch-off function has been activated (also see “What to do if ...?”).

The following letters and functions are displayed only with the two induction cooking zones.

1f = Error display

flashes if the cooking zone is activated and

–no pan is on the cooking zone or

–unsuitable pots and pans are used

p = Power function

lights up when the Power function is activated.

The Power function supplies extra-high heating capacity. It can be activated for the front left cooking zone.

1 Cooking Zone Safety

Cut-out

If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the heat setting is not changed, the corresponding cooking zone switches itself off automatically.

h appears in the ring display for all rings that are switched on, and _ after they have cooled down. The rings are switched off at:

• Heat setting	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

3If one or more cooking zones switch off before the times indicated see section “What to do if …”.

Cancelling the Safety Cut-out

To cancel the activated safety cut-out the appliance must be switched off and then on again using the ON/OFF I sensor field. After this the cooking zones are again ready for use.

Switching Off for Other Reasons

Liquid that boils over onto the control panel causes all cooking zones to switch off immediately.

If you place a wet cloth on the control panel it has the same effect. In both cases the appliance has to be switched on again using the mains switch I after removing the liquid or cloth.

Suitable Kitchenware for Induction Cooking Zones

Pots and Pans

•In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These are steel, steel-enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans.

•High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Tefal with an aluminium/copper base) are suitable for induction only if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case they have a ferromagnetic percentage in the base.

•If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.

•Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots and pans (unless specifically designated as suitable for induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain are not suitable for induction cooking zones. The cooking zone reacts as if it were being used without a pot or pan: Error code f.

Look for the label: Suitable for induction!

Suitability Test

If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for cooking or frying on the induction cooking zone you can check this as follows:

•Place a pot filled with a little water (3-5 mm filling height) on the cooking zone.

Switch the cooking zone to full power (switch setting 9).

Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few seconds!

•You can also check this with a magnet. If it remains fixed to the base the pan is suitable for induction cooking zones.

Pan Size

Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone adapts itself to the size of the pan base diameter. However, the pan base diameter must be of a minimum size, depending on the size of the cooking zone.

Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm: Diameter of the pan base at least 12 cm Diameter of the cooking zone 18 cm: Diameter of the pan base at least 14,5 cm Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm: Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm

Note:

Please note the diameter of the pan base when buying new pans, since the manufacturers usually specify the top edge diameter of their pans.

Automatic Pan Sensing

The induction cooking zone does not function when unsuitable pans are used.

If the cooking zone is switched on without a suitable pan on it f flashes in the digital display of the cooking zone.

After about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches itself off automatically. _ appears in the digital display.

Also when overheating occurs (e.g. heating up a pan that is empty) or with faults in the electronics the display _ is lit. The cooking zone switches itself off automatically.

To be able to use it again the cooking zone must have been first switched off and then reset to the required heat setting.

Pots and pans for rapidglowing standard cooking zones

•On principle all pots and pans with level bases are suitable for radiant heat cooking zones. You can recognise good quality pans by the base of the pan, and not from the material from which the pan is made.

•The base should be as thick and flat as possible. Rough bases (e.g. cast iron pots) scratch the hob surfaces when they are slid about.

•Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove.

•The saucepan base and cooking zone should be the same size.

1Attention! Avoid letting enamel saucepans and frying pans boil dry.

The base could be damaged and then scratch the cooking surface when slid. Saucepans and frying pans with sharp edges and burrs will also scratch.

Before Using for the First Time

Initial Cleaning

Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.

1Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could be damaged.
