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 Service Centre 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.
121
Page 6
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 damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
• The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is susceptible to
knocks. Please be careful when moving pots and pans around.
• Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or
pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature
changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
• Do not use pots made of cast iron, or which have damaged bases with
rough edges or burrs. Moving these around may cause scratches.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone
and melts, remove immediately, while still hot, using a kitchen
scraper. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, for example, artificial materials, aluminium foil, or cooking
wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs are melting on the ceramic
glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immediately, using a
kitchen scraper.

Operating Instructions
The Key Features of Your Appliance
• Glass ceramic cooking surface: The appliance has a glass ceramic
cooking surface and 5 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 (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
• 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.
• 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.
• Frying zone: The hob has a special frying zone. This can be set to ei-
ther the round or the oval shape, for example when using a fryer.
• 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 rings 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.
• Power Management: When the front left, rear right and front right
cooking zones are used simultaneously the hob control automatically
brings about the optimal distribution of heating power (see section
“Power Management”).

Operating Instructions
Power Management
If a high heat setting (8 or 9) is set for the front left, rear right and
front right cooking zones simultaneously, the hob control automatically brings about the optimal distribution of heating power. In this
case the last cooking zone to be switched on takes priority and is allocated the selected heat setting 8 or 9. The automatic power management sets the remaining two cooking zones to heat setting 7. The heat
setting displays for these two cooking zones display alternately the setting originally set (8 / 9) and 7.
The automatic warm up is not available for the front left, rear right and
front right cooking zones if these three cooking zones are operated simultaneously. This means that if two of the rings are working in automatic warm up mode and the third ring is then also switched on, the
automatic warm up will switch off automatically and the rings will be
set to the selected heat setting. The "A" display shown in the display
window changes to the set heat setting.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of
the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper
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 pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across
the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly
inwards (concave). They should never be bowed
outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pres-
sure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
142
Energy saving tips
2
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power
consumption.
• Whenever possible always position the lids firmly
on pots and pans to cover completely.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the
cooking time to use the residual heat such as to
keep foods warm or for melting.
• The base of the pan should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
• Using a pressure cooker reduces
cooking times by up to 50%.

Operating Instructions
Advice on Cooking with and without Automatic Warm up
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 selected heat
setting,
• dishes that are put in 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 large amounts of liquid,
• cooking with pressure cookers,
• very large quantities of soup/stew with more than 2 litres of liquid.
General notes:
• When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recom-
3
mend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the
- button) and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate lower heat setting.
• You can use the ! heat setting for keeping food warm.
• Take special note of the results when you first use 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 pans". You
will then quickly appreciate the advantages of the automatic function and will feel relaxed about using your new hob.

Cleaning and Care
Hob
Important: Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot
1
ceramic glass surface! All cleaning agents must be removed with plenty
of clean water after cleaning because they can have a caustic effect
when the rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse
scourers or abrasive pan cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is warm to the
3
touch or cold. This will avoid spillages becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and discolouration with a
metallic shimmer using a commercially available glass ceramic or
stainless steel cleaner such as “Hob Brite”.
Light 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. Remnants of cleaner must not be
left on the surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once a week
with a commercially available glass ceramic 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 stubborn splashes, use a glass
scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle
to the glass ceramic surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the blade.
You can obtain glass scrapers and
3
glass ceramic cleaners from specialist retailers.

Operating Instructions
1 Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other meltable
materials with a glass scraper imme-
diately and while still hot.
Important: There is a risk of burning
1
yourself when the glass scraper is
used on a hot cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it
has cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which
3
something has melted has already
cooled down, warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface, caused for example by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However, they
do not impair the function of the hob.

Installation Instructions
1 Safety Instructions for the Installer
• 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.
• In respect of fire protection, this appliance corresponds to type Y (EN
60 335-2-6). Only this type of appliance may be installed with a high
cupboard or wall on one side.
• Drawers may not be fitted underneath the hob.
• The installation must guarantee shock protection.
• The kitchen unit in which the appliance is fitted must satisfy the sta-
bility requirements of DIN 68930.
• For protection against moisture, all cut surfaces are to be sealed with
a suitable sealant.
• On tiled work surfaces, the joints in the area where the hob sits must
be completely filled with grout.
• On natural, artificial stone, or ceramic tops, the snap action springs
must be bonded in place with a suitable artificial resin or mixed adhesive.
• Ensure that the seal is correctly seated in the frame and that it is
seated against the work surface without leaving any gaps. Additional
silicon sealant must not be applied; this will make removal more difficult when servicing.
• The hob must be pressed out from below when removed.
• Clean the worktop around the cut-out area.
• Attach the supplied one-sided adhesive liner tape around the cut-out
on the top surface of the worktop. The joining point of the two ends
should be in the middle of one of the sides. After cutting the correct
length (allow a few millimetres) simply press the two ends against
each other.
Remarks:
1
If the corner joint of the working plate is connected with clamping elements, then care must be taken that at least the front ones left and
righ are removed, after curing the adhesive and before installation of
the cooking surface.

Installation Instructions
Electrical Connection
Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the appliance,
that is the voltage stated on the rating plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage. The rating plate is located on the lower casing of
the hob.
The heating element voltage is AC230 V ~. The appliance also works
perfectly on older networks with AC220 V ~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the
appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact
opening width of at least 3 mm, eg. automatic line protecting cutout,earth leakage tripsorfuse.
A type H05VV-F cable or one with a higher grade must be used as the
mains connecting cable.
The connection must be carried out as shown in the diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to the appropriate connection
diagram. The earth lead is connected to terminal x. The earth lead
must be longer than leads carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.
Finally, the connecting cable is to be secured with the mains cable cleat
and the covering closed by pressing firmly (lock into place).
Before switching on for the first time, any protective foil or stickers
must be removed from the glass ceramic surface.
Once connected to the mains supply check that all cooking zones are
1
ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting.
