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 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.
3 Please 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.
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.
• 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
• 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.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
• The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is
susceptible to knocks. Please be careful when
moving pots and pans around.
• Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans,
or with no pots or pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to
sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp
objects fall on to it.
• Do not use pots made of cast iron, or which have
damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Moving
these around may cause scratches.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a
hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately,
while still hot, using a kitchen scraper. If left to cool
down, it may damage the surface when removed.
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from
the ceramic glass surface, for example, artificial
materials, aluminium foil, or cooking wraps. If any
other materials or foodstuffs are melting on the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned
away immediately, using a kitchen scraper.
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.
• Take care when plugging electric appliances into
mains sockets near the hob. Connection leads
must not come into contact with the hot surface.

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
1 Warning: 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 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.
• Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass
cooking surface is its easy cleaning. The smooth
surface is easy to keep clean (see section: “Cleaning and care”).
• 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.
• Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indica-
tor lights up if the cooking zone becomes so hot
that there is a risk of burning.

Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.
1 Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive
cleaners! The surface could be damaged.
Operating the Hob
3
When a cooking zone is switched on, it may
hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the
appliance.
Ring Switches
• The heat settings are continuously variable between settings 1-10.
1 = lowest power
10 = highest power
Z = double ring switching
Cooking on the Zones
1. Select a high setting for heating up / browning.
2. As soon a steam starts to form or the oil is hot, turn
back to the heat setting necessary for further
cooking.
3. To stop cooking, turn back to the zero position.
2 Switch off the cooking zone approx. 5-10 min-
utes before the end of the cooking to make
use of the residual heat. Doing this will save
electricity.
7
Switching on the Dual-ring
Cooking Zone
1 The switch for the dual-ring cooking zone is
switched on by turning clockwise and must
not be turned past the stop!
1. Turn the switch for the dual-ring cooking zone
clockwise. Turn past position 10 to the „dual-ring“
symbol until it stops.
2. Then turn back to the required heat setting for
cooking.
3. To stop cooking, turn back to the off position.
3 The next time the dual-ring cooking zone is re-
quired, repeat the above procedure.
Residual heat indicator
The ceramic cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a control lamp is allocated to each
cooking zone. This lights up as soon the corresponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant contact.
The residual heat indicator only goes out when the
cooking zone has cooled down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
2 You can use the residual heat for melting and
keeping food warm.
1 Important! As long as the residual heat indi-
cator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
1 Important! If the power supply is interrupted
the residual heat indicator 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 being particularly attentive.
