READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all instructions before using this appliance. Ifthe information in
this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, take these precautions:
Ensure your appliance is installed and grounded by a qualified technican.
Know where and how to switch off power to the cooktop.
Intended Use
Cooking Safety
This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the Warranty. If
you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
This range is for residential use only. It is not approved for outdoor use.
Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow aluminium foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a surface
element. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS ORAREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had
sufficent time to cool.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Cookware Safety
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking, and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
Leave the hood ventilator on when flambeing food.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with a utensil, the handle of the utensil should be turned
inward so it does not extend over adjacent surface units.
5
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use. Utensils not approved for use with
ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use proper pan size - this appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result inignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner also improves efficiency.
Cleaning Safety Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface. Ifa wet sponge or a cloth is used to clean spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Condition of Unit
Work Space / Environment Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Service and Repair Safety Do not repair or replace any part unless specifically recommended in this manual.

Getting started
Getting to know your appliance
The instruction manual applies to various cooktops. An overview of models is given
on page 3.
The hotplates and indicators are described in this section. They are differentiated by
appliance model.

Using the bridge element with two
single elements
1. Set the bridge element to the desired temperature level as described above.
2. Set the other single element to the same temperature level.
Power-on lamp
Hot surface indicator
Customer service notes
The power-on lamp O lights up when an element is switched on.
The cooktop has a hot surface indicator for each element. It shows you which
elements are still hot.
The indicator stays on until the element has cooled sufficiently. This applies even
after the cooktop has been switched off.
The heat is switched on and off to regulate the temperature of the element; this
means that the red glow below the element is not always visible. When you select a
low heat setting, the element turns off more frequently, while at a higher setting it
only turns off occasionally. Even at the highest level, the element turns off and on.
As the element is heating up, there may be a light buzzing.
The brightness of the glow may varyfrom element to element. Depending on your
line of vision, the red glow may appear to extend beyond the marked edge of the
element.
These are technical characteristics and have no impact on quality or function.
10
Operation
Cooking
Depending on the type of countertop, a small, uneven gap may form between the
countertop and the cooktop. For this reason, there is a flexible seal all the way
around the cooktop.
Due to the characteristics of the material, there can be irregularities in the glass
ceramic surface. Because of the mirror-smooth surface of the cooktop, it is possible
for even the smallest of bubbles, less than 1 mm in diameter, to be visible. They are
not detrimental either to the functionality or the durability of the glass ceramic
cooking surface.
This section explains how to adjust the elements. In the table, you can find
temperature settings and cooking times for various foods.
Setting procedure
Table
Adjust the heat setting of the elements using the knob:
Push in and turn the knob to the desired temperature.
Heat setting 1 = lowest level
Heat setting 9 = highest level
When the element turns on, the power-on lamp lights up.
The following table provides afew examples. The cooking time may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore possible. Set the
cooking zone control to setting 9 for bringing to the boil or initialfrying. Then switch
the control back to the approbiate heat setting

For best results
The correct pan size
Put the lid on
Use only a little water to boil food
Reduce the heat
Use the residual heat
Use pans and saucepans with thick, flat bases. An uneven base increases cooking
time.
Choose the correct pan size for each element. The diameter of the pan or saucepan
base should correspond to the size of the element.
Note: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan.
This is usually larger than the diameter of the base.
Use a small pan for small quantities.
Always cover the pan with a lid that fits. Food cooks faster when you use the lid.
Boil foods with a small quantity of water. Vegetables retain their vitamins and
minerals.
Switch to a lower temperature as early as possible.
Cooked food can be kept warm on the element for 5 to 10 minutes after the
element is turned off.
As long as the hot surface indicator H is lit, you can use the element for warming and
melting without turning it back on.
