Operating Instructions
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 AEG customer center 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,
– 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.
• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near
the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot
surface.
101
Operating Instructions
• 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 Damaging Your Appliance
• Do not use the hob surface as a working surface or for storage.
• Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans or without pans.
• Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust,
however, it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp objects, in particular,
can damage the cooking surface if they fall on it.
• Do not use cast iron pots or pans with damaged bases that are rough
or burred. Scratching may occur when the lids are slid.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching may occur or the
paint damaged.
• Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon limescale
removing agents do not come into contact with the hob frame, otherwise matt spots will appear.
• If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact with a hot
cooking zone and then melts, remove the soiling immediately whilst
still warm, using a glass scraper. If it cools, damage to the surface
may occur.
• Keep all items and materials that 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 be
removed immediately using a glass scraper.
102
Operating Instructions
2 Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
• All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded
polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of
packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.
• Please follow the national and regional regulations and material
identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal
sites).
Information on disposal
• 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.
• Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove the mains lead.
103
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 flat surface is
easy to clean (see section: “Cleaning and Care”)
• On/Off sensor field: In addition to the sensor field “On/Off” switch,
the appliance has a separate mains switch with which the mains supply to the appliance can be completely switched on and off with one
touch.
• Displays: Digital displays show information about selected heat set-
tings, functions activated and any possible residual heat in the appropriate 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.
• 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.
• Child safety feature: This function makes it possible to lock the hob
to prevent it being switched on unintentionally.

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 j
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
If one or more cooking zones switch off before the times indicated see

Switching Off for Other Reasons
Liquids that boil over onto the control panel cause 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
n after removing the liquid or cloth.
Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Wipe the glass ceramic surface with a damp cloth.
Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could

Operating Instructions
Operating the Hob
When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a char-
3
acteristic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair either
the function or the life of the appliance.
TOUCH CONTROL Sensor Field
To operate the TOUCH CONTROL sensor field place your finger from
above flat onto the required field until the appropriate displays come
on or go out or the required function is carried out.
