frying of food.
• The appliance must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.
• Additions or modifications to the appliance are not permitted.
• Do not place or store flammable liquids, highly inflammable materials
or fusible objects (e.g. plastic film, plastic, aluminium) on or near the
appliance.
Children’s safety
• Small children must be kept away from the appliance.
• Only let bigger children work on the appliance under supervision.
• To avoid small children and pets unintentionally switching the appli-
ance on, we recommend activation of the child safety device.
General safety
• The appliance may only be installed and connected by trained, registered service engineers.
• Built-in appliances may only be used after they have built in to suitable built-in units and work surfaces that meet standards.
• In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ceramic (cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off
and disconnected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility
of an electric shock.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by trained registered service engineers.
4
Safety during use
• Remove stickers and film from the glass ceramic.
• There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used carelessly.
• Cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot surface of
the appliance or hot cookware.
• Overheated fats and oils can ignite very quickly. When cooking with
fat or oil (e.g. chips) do not leave the appliance unattended.
• Switch the cooking zones off after each use.
• Users with implanted pacemakers should keep their upper body at
least 30 cm from induction cooking zones that are switched on.
• Risk of burns! Do not place objects made of metal, such as knives,
forks, spoons and saucepan lids on the cooking surface, as they can
get hot.
Safety when cleaning
• For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
• For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or
high-pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• The glass ceramic can be damaged by objects falling onto it.
• The edge of the glass ceramic can be damaged by being knocked by
the cookware.
• Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic if pushed across the surface.
• Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the glass
ceramic and should be removed straightaway.
• Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware.
• To avoid damaging cookware and glass ceramics, do not allow saucepans or frying pans to boil dry.
• The ventilation gap of 5mm between the worktop and front of the
unit underneath it must not be covered.

Residual heat indicator
1 Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off,
the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual
heat indicator
.
3 Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated
by the residual heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides
3
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest
possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material
Cookware material Suitable
Steel, enamelled steel yes
Cast iron yes
Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass --Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---
3 Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the
manufacturer.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is
heated within a short time.
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
3 Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cook-
ing zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom
of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of
the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending
upon the size of the cooking zone.

Installation Instructions
Safety instructions
The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of
use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example
drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture
using a suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap.
Do not use silicon sealant between the appliance and the work top.
When building in, protect the underside of the appliance from steam
and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven.
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.
1 WARNING!
Risk of injury from electrical current.
• The electrical mains terminal is live.
• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
• Observe connection schematic.
• Observe electrical safety rules.
• Ensure anti-shock protection through correct installation by a quali-
fied electrician.
• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.
1 IMPORTANT!
Risk of injury from electrical current.
Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping joints correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
• Use strain relief clamp on cable.
• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropri-
ate mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C(or higher) must be used.
24
• If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher). The latter is available from the Customer Care Department.
• This appliance’s mains cable is fixed directly to the board. If the mains
cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified ecletrician
or our Customer Care Department.
A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the
appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact
opening width of at least 3 mm.
Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw
type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and
contactors.

caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of
the user.
12.If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with
the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of
the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the length of time it has been used.
13.A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be
extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.
14.We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.
15.Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee
terms excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the
consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium.
For exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical
conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the
country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental
conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they
meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments
are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period has expired.
