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.
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.
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.
37
• 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.
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.

2Disposal
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 inoper-
able 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.
• 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.
• Keep warm setting:1 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.
• Triple ring cooking zone: The hob features a triple-ring cooking
zone. This zone can be set to different sizes, for example to fit smaller
pots. This will save power.
• Timer: All zones can be automatically switched off using the inte-
grated timer. When the end of the cooking time has been reached,
the cooking zone switches off.
