OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical stan−
dards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we
also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following sa−
fety instructions.

Electrical Safety

• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be car−
ried 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 in−
jury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing, please
contact your local customer center or your dealer.

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.

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.

4

• 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.

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 in−
structions 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; howe−
ver 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 remo−
ved immediately using the scraper.

Operating Instructions

Operation of the cooking surface

When the cooking zones are switched on, they 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.

The zones are operated using the knobs on the cooker or with using
the knobs on the panel, operation is described in the respective in−
struction manuals.

Switching On the Triple Ring Cooking Zone

Depending on the size of the pan, on the triple ring zone the two larger
rings can be switched on, in addition to the smallest cooking zone, using
the appropriate touch switch on the glass ceramic cooking surface.

1. Switch on cooking zone in the normal way using the ring switch.

− The smallest ring on the cooking zone is switched on.

2. Tap the corresponding touch switch on the cooking surface once

− The larger ring is also switched on.

3. To switch on the largest ring, tap the touch switch again

.

.

4. To switch off the larger ring, tap the touch switch again.

If the triple ring cooking zone is switched off completely using the ring
switch, the larger rings must be switched on again the next time the ring is
switched on, if required.

Residual heat indicator

An indicator is assigned to each cooking zone. This illuminates as soon as
the corresponding cooking zone becomes hot and warns against inadver−
tent touching.

Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a
risk of burns.

Even after the cooking zone is switched off, the corresponding residual
heat indicator will remain on until the cooking zone is cold.

You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
