The handles of cooking utensils must not be positioned above a hot and warm cooking zone.
Be careful when plugging in electrical appliances into main sockets near the appliance.
Connecting leads must not come into contact with any hot parts of the appliance.
Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when preparing
foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
5
Switch off the cooking zones after use.
The residual heat from hot pots or pans heats the ceramic glass hob although the residual
heat display does not indicate this.
Appliance cleaning
Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.
The cooking zones must have cooled down to the extent that they may be touched without
risk of burning.
For reasons of safety, never use a steam jet or a high pressure cleaner to clean the hob.
Avoid damage to the appliance
Never use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans, or with no pots and pans on
them.
Avoid boiling pots and pans dry.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shocks and is very robust, however it is not
unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on the cooking surface could
damage it.
Do not use any cast iron pots or pans with damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Sliding
these across the hob could cause scratches.
Do not place any pots or pans on the frame of the hob. Scratches and damage to the
varnished surface may occur.
Always make sure that no acid-containing liquids such as vinegar, lemon or lime-dissolving
agents are split on the hob or frame as these can cause dull spots to appear and damage the
glass.
Remove sugary substances with a cleaning scraper while still hot. If left to cool down, it may
damage the surface when removed.
Keep objects and materials, liable to melt (e.g. synthetic materials, aluminium foils etc.),
away from the ceramic glass surface.
Remove melted substances with a cleaning scraper while still hot. If left to cool down, it may
damage the surface when removed.

Appliance description
Your appliance components
Your hob components
Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass surface with four rapid
response cooking zones.
The cooking surface is non-porous and resistant to thermal shock. Pots may therefore be
swapped from a hot to a cold zone.
The smooth surface is easy to clean.
Rapid response cooking zones: The appliance has rapid response cooking zones. The
particularly powerful radiant heater elements substantially shorten the amount of time
taken for the zones to heat up.
On switching on the cooking zones a brief buzzing tone in the heating elements may be
heard. This noise is physically conditioned and has no negative influences on the appliance’s
function. It is no longer heard once the cook zone is sufficiently heated.
Single ring cooking zone: The cooking area has a single ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone for smaller pots. This saves energy.
Double ring cooking zone: The cooking area has a double ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone with variable size, e.g., for smaller pots. This saves energy.
Triple ring cooking zone: The cooking area has a triple ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone with variable size, e.g., for smaller pots. This saves energy.
Casserole cooking zone (multi-purpose cooking zone): The cooking area is equipped with
a casserole cooking zone (multi-purpose cooking zone). Depending on the setting it may be
used as a round or oval cook zone.

Hob operation tips
Pots and pans
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognise good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat
as possible.
• When buying new pots and pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often only state the diameter of the rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the ceramic glass
surface which is very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Do not use cast iron pots or pots with damaged bases which are rough and/ or have burrs
on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never
be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok etc.) please
observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
24
General information
• The base should always be clean and dry.
• In order to avoid scratches on the ceramic glass cooking surface, do not slide pots and
pans around but lift them up instead when changing positions.
• Severe scratches may weaken the glass.
• Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing can boil over.
Energy saving
You will save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase power consumption.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots and pans so that they
are completely covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat
for keeping foods warm or for melting purposes.
• The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking zone.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.
25
Cooking with and without the automatic warm-up function
The automatic warm-up function is suitable for:
• Dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high power and do not need to be continually
watched when cooking on the lower heat setting.
• Dishes that are put into a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm-up function is not suitable for:
• Goulash, beef olives and similar braised dishes that need continual turning until browned
correctly, have liquid added and are then braised until cooked,
• Dumplings, pasta dishes with lots of liquid,
• Cooking with pressure cookers,
• Very large quantities of soups/stews with more than 2 litres of liquid.
General information:
• When cooking without the automatic warm-up function, we recommend the use of a
high heat setting to warm up the food (with the -button) and then leaving the dish to
finish cooking at a suitable lower heat setting.
• Pay special attention to the results of your first use of the appliance. You can then decide
which heat setting is the best for „your dishes” in the “quantities you are accustomed to
preparing” with your own „pots and pans”. You will then quickly appreciate the
advantages of the automatic function and will feel secure and relaxed with your new
hob.

Cleaning and care
Hob
Important! Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot ceramic glass
surface! All cleaning agents must be removed with plenty of clean water after
cleaning because they have a caustic effect when the zones are heated up again.
Never use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse scourers or
abrasive pot cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after every use when it is hand-warm or in a cold
condition. In this way you avoid spillage burning solidly to the surface.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and metallic shimmer discolouring with
commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
Minor soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Then, rub dry with a clean cloth. Cleaner residues must not remain on the surface.
3. Once a week, you must thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface with a
commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water and rub dry with a clean
fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over, or to remove stubborn splashes, use a ceramic hob
scraper.
2. Place the scraper at an angle to the ceramic glass surface.
3. Remove the soiling by sliding the blade.
.
Scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners are available from Service Force.
29
Problem soiling
1. Carefully remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other materials which
melt immediately while they are still hot, using a suitable cleaning scraper.
Important! You risk burning yourself when using the cleaning scraper on the hot
cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it has cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which something has melted has already cooled down, warm
it up again before cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface, caused for example by a pot
or pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However, they do not impair the
functioning of the hob.
Rectifying faults
It is possible that faults have been caused by a minor error which you can rectify yourself
with the help of the following instructions.
If the malfunction cannot be cleared with the following information please contact your
specialist dealer or Service Force.
If you request a service visit to resolve a fault listed above or because of
improper operation, the visit of the service technician is not free of charge
even during the guarantee period.
