years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they are supervised by an adult or a
person who is responsible for their safety.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Keep all packaging away from children.
• Keep children and pets away from the appliance
when it operates or when it cools down. Accessible
parts are hot.
• If the appliance has a child safety device, we recommend that you activate it.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
ENGLISH3
1.2 General Safety
• The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. Do not touch the heating elements.
• Do not operate the appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire.
www.aeg.com

• Never try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off
the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a
fire blanket.
• Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be placed on the hob surface since they
can get hot.
• If the glass ceramic surface is cracked, switch off the
appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control
and do not rely on the pan detector.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Installation
WARNING!
Only a qualified person must install this appliance.
• Remove all the packaging.
• Do not install or use a damaged appli-
ance.
• Obey the installation instruction sup-
plied with the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from the
other appliances and units.
• Always be careful when you move the
appliance because it is heavy. Always
wear safety gloves.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to
prevent moisture to cause swelling.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance
from steam and moisture.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent
to a door or under a window. This prevents hot cookware to fall from the appliance when the door or the window
is opened.
• If the appliance is installed above
drawers make sure that the space, between the bottom of the appliance
and the upper drawer, is sufficient for
air circulation.
• Make sure that the ventilation space of
2 mm, between the worktop and the
front of the below unit, is free. The
warranty does not cover damages
caused by the lack of an adequate
ventilation space.
• The bottom of the appliance can get
hot. We recommend to install a noncombustile separation panel under the
appliance to prevent access to the
bottom.
Electrical connection
WARNING!
Risk of fire and electrical shock.
• All electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation
make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
• Use the correct electricity mains cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable
tangle.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot ap-
pliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near
sockets
• Make sure the appliance is installed
correctly. Loose and incorrect electricity mains cable or plug (if applicable)
can make the terminal become too
hot.
• Make sure that a shock protection is
installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on cable.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the
mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact the Service or an
electrician to change a damaged
mains cable.
• The electrical installation must have an
isolation device which lets you disconnect the appliance from the mains at
all poles. The isolation device must
have a contact opening width of minimum 3 mm.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type
fuses removed from the holder), earth
leakage trips and contactors.
2.2 Use
WARNING!
Risk of injury, burns or electric
shock.
• Use this appliance in a household environment.
• Do not change the specification of this
appliance.
• Do not use an external timer or a separate remote-control system to operate the appliance.
• Do not let the appliance stay unattended during operation.
• Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands or when it has contact with water.
• Do not put cutlery or saucepan lids on
the cooking zones. They can become
hot.
• Set the cooking zone to “off” after
each use. Do not rely on the pan detector.
• Do not use the appliance as a work
surface or as a storage surface.
ENGLISH5
• If there is a crack on the surface, disconnect power supply to prevent the
electrical shock.
• Users with a pacemaker must keep a
distance of minimum 30 cm from the
induction cooking zones when the appliance is in operation.
WARNING!
Risk of fire or explosion.
• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and oils
when you cook with them.
• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.
• Used oil, that can contain food remnants, can cause fire at a lower temperature than oil used for the first
time.
• Do not put flammable products or
items that are wet with flammable
products in, near or on the appliance.
• Do not try to extinguish a fire with water. Disconnect the appliance and cover the flame with a lid or a fire blanket.
WARNING!
Risk of damage to the appliance.
• Do not keep hot cookware on the control panel.
• Do not let cookware to boil dry.
• Be careful not let objects or cookware
fall on the appliance. The surface can
be damaged.
• Do not activate the cooking zones
with empty cookware or without cookware.
• Do not put aluminium foil on the appliance.
• Cookware made of cast iron, aluminium or with a damaged bottom can
cause scratches on the glass ceramic.
Always lift these objects up when you
have to move them on the cooking
surface.

5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
INDUCTION COOKING ZONESFor induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
5.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …
• ... some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting.
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of
the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.
5.2 The noises during
operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction.
ENGLISH11
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
For the minimum diameters see the
Technical Information chapter.
5.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before
the count down timer sounds.
The difference in the operation
time depends on the heat setting
level and the length of the cooking operation.
5.5 The Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting
and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.

6. CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Scratches or dark stains on the
glass-ceramic cause no effect on
how the appliance operates.
To remove the dirt:
1.
– Remove immediately: melted
plastic, plastic foil, and food with
sugar. If not, the dirt can cause
damage to the appliance. Use a
special scraper for the glass . Put
the scraper on the glass surface at
an acute angle and move the
blade on the surface .
– Remove after the appliance is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings ,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discolorations. Use a special
