9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY I NS TRU CTI ONSRE AD 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.
WARNING
If the frying sensor is not working properly, overheating
may result causing smoke and damage to the pan or fire.
WHEN COOKING WITH THE FRYING SENSOR OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
▯ Use a system pan only
▯ Always put the pan in the center of the heating element
▯ Do not place a lid on the pan
▯ Never leave frying fat unattended
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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 or fuse in the
electrical panel. Contact an authorized servicer.
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 sizes. 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
▯ 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
Note: : Bosch cleaners have been tested and approved
for use on Bosch appliances. Other recommended
cleaners do not constitute an endorsement of a specific
brand.
Glass ceramic cooktop
9 CAUTION
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while
the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper.
The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your
health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack
and damage the surface.
Clean the surface when it is completely cool, with the
following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,
tomato products and milk immediately with the razor
blade scraper (see cleaning chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.
Stainless steel side trim
Wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/heavy
soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach).
Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.
Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use a glass cooktop cleaner such as the
Bosch Glass Cooktop Cleaner (part number 12010030),
which can be ordered online at www.bosch-home.com/
us/store (for U.S. customers only). Other cleaners
include Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® (without bleach), and
white vinegar.
Avoid these cleaners
▯ Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients may damage or
permanently stain the cooktop.
▯ Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may
stain the cooktop surface.
▯ Abrasive cleaners.
▯ Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
▯ Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch
the surface.
▯ Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can
permanently stain the cooktop.
▯ Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Cleaning chart
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted
plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can permanently damage the surface.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of
Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse
Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot
using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in
the scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element. Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30° angle, using care
not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the
heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the
residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect
the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions.

ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper.
Rinse and dry.
thoroughly and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
17
Type of Soil Possible Solution
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
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.
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.
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.

Do not place hot pans on the control panel.
Notes
▯ If an error message with “ (e.g. E0111) appears on
the display, the sensor for the element in question
must be held down in order to be able to read off the
fault code.
▯ Disconnect the cooktop from the power supply, wait
30 seconds, and then reconnect it again. If the display
appears again, contact technical Customer Service
and tell them the precise fault code.
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 1mm 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.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
Corporation (“BSH“) in this Statement of Limited Product
Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance (“Product“)
sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the
Product was purchased:
▯ For your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
▯ New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use.
▯ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply only to the first
purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while
not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the
best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a
safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred
sixty-five (365) days from the date of purchase. The
foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of
purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or
suspended, for any reason whatsoever.
This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic
defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches
of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents,
or other damage to the finish of the Product), for a period
of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing
date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty
excludes slight color variations due to inherent
differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as
differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location,
or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty
specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B”
stock appliances.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, BSH or one of its authorized
service providers will repair your Product without charge
to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your
Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect
in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to
repair the Product have been made without success,
then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models
may be available to you, in BSH’s sole discretion, for an
additional charge). All removed parts and components
shall become the property of BSH at its sole option. All
replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity
of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this
warranty shall not be extended with respect to such
parts. BSH's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is
to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a
BSH-authorized service provider during normal business
hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH
highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the
Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; BSH
will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work
performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to
have someone other than an authorized service provider
work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized
service providers are those persons or companies that
have been specially trained on BSH products, and who
possess, in BSH's opinion, a superior reputation for
customer service and technical ability (note that they are
independent entities and are not agents, partners,
affiliates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BSH will not incur any liability, or have
responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote
area (more than 100miles from an authorized service
provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or
environment; in any such event, if you request, BSH
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to
the nearest authorized service provider, but you would
still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or
other special charges by the service company, assuming
they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product
BSH is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to
provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has
expired.
Warranty Exclusions
The warranty coverage described herein excludes all
defects or damage that are not the direct fault of BSH,
including without limitation, one or more of the following:
▯ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal,
customary and intended manner (including without
limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage
