Safety cut-out
Cooking surface
• If after switching on the cooking surface, a heat setting is not set for
a cooking zone within approx. 10 seconds, the cooking surface automatically switches itself off.
• If one or more sensor fields are covered for longer than approx. 10
seconds, e.g. by a pan placed upon it, a signal sounds and the cooking
surface switches off automatically.
• If all cooking zones are switched off, the cooking surface automatically switches itself off after approx. 10 seconds.
Control panel
• When the appliance is switched off, if one or more of the sensor
fields on the control panel are covered for more that 10 seconds, an
acoustic signal sounds. The acoustic signal switches itself off automatically when the sensor fields are no longer covered.
Cooking zones
• If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time, or
if the heat setting is not modified, the relevant cooking zone switches
off automatically.

Power-Management
The three cooking zones front left,
front right and back right together
have a maximum possible power
available to them.
If it looks like the maximum power
of all three cooking zones is going
to be exceeded, for example by
turning on an additional cooking
zone or by turning up a heat setting, the Power Management automatically reduces the power of another cooking zone. The power of the
cooking zone that has been switched on for the longest time is reduced. For two minutes the indicator for this cooking zone changes between the previously set heat setting and the maximum possible heat
setting at this time. After two minutes the actual heat setting is displayed.
The following table shows the distribution of the maximum possible
heat settings when all three cooking zones are on at the same time.

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
• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The
bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are
difficult or impossible to remove.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cook-
ing zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
2Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.
2Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
