9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in.
This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a remote control.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter!
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
-You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
-The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
-The fire department is being called.
-You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Cooking Safety
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
When using the timer, always supervise the cooktop and do not allow anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.
Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel. Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel.
Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if control elements are not used properly.
If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
Contact Customer Support for service.
WARNING
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS 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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
If the display does not work when a cooking area is heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the fuse box. Contact an authorized servicer.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid between the potbase and the cooktop may build up steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and causing injury.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products on or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create a risk of electric shock.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the appliance, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

Warnings
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Causes of damage
NOTICES
Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.
Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down.
Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.
Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.
Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling on the cooktop may damage it.
Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper.
Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't suitable for your cooktop.
Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.
Protecting the environment
Energy-saving advice
Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will increase energy consumption considerably. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted.
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
Switch to a lower heat setting in time.
Select a suitable setting for ongoing cooking. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high.
Use the residual heat of the cooktop. For longer cooking times, you can switch the element off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Type of Soil |
Possible Solution |
|
|
Greasy spatters |
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse |
|
thoroughly and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop |
|
cleaner. |
|
|
Metal marks: Iridescent stain |
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may |
|
leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled |
|
with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not |
|
remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft |
|
Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse |
|
and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to |
|
remove metal marks before the next heating makes |
|
removal very difficult. |
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop again.
Surface scratches:
Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking. They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream daily.

If you encounter a problem, it often will merely be something minor. Before you call customer service, consider the suggestions and instructions below:
9CAUTION
Repairs should only be done by an authorized servicer.. Improper repair of your appliance may result in risk of severe physical injury or death.
The electronics of your cooktop are underneath the control panel. For various reasons, the temperature in this area may rise sharply.
In order that the electronics do not overheat, the cooking zones are switched off as and when necessary. The ”ƒ, ”… or ”† indicator appears alternately with the • or œ residual heat indicator.

Notes
The cooktop regulates the heating element temperature by turning the heat source on and off; this means that the reddish glow of the heat source beneath the heating element may not always be visible. If you select a low heat setting, the heat source is frequently off; at higher settings it is seldom off. The source turns on and off even at the highest settings.
You may hear a quiet hum when the heating elements are in the heating phase. The heating elements may glow with different levels of brightness. Depending on the angle from which you are looking at the heating element, this glow may be visible over the marked edge of the heating element. These are technical characteristics. They have no effect on quality and function.
Glass ceramic may have uneven areas on the surface due to the nature of the material itself. Because of the mirror-like finish on the cooking surface, even extremely small bubbles less than 1 mm in diameter may be visible. These bubbles will not have any adverse effect on the operation of the cooktop nor on the durability of the glass ceramic cooking surface.
Depending on the countertop that is present in the kitchen, an uneven gap between the cooktop unit and the countertop can occur. For this reason, a flexible seal is provided around the entire cooktop unit.
