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.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
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.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop.
Never set down metallic objects, such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids on the cooktop.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The pan detection may potentially fail to turn off the
cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed upon
the cooktop. After each use, turn off the cooktop using
the main switch.
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 legal 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.
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.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use
only heat-resistant cookware.
WARNING
DANGER OF INJURY
Cookware may jump upward due to fluid trapped
between the cookware bottom and cooking zone. Always
keep cooking zone and cookware bottom dry.

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
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

CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device
should exercise caution when standing near an induction
cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device
for additional information about its effects with
electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.
Cooling fan
The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan on its
underside. Should the cooktop lie above a drawer, there
must be no objects or paper in it. They may be sucked in
and compromise the cooling of the appliance or damage
the fan.
There must be a minimum distance of ¾" (20mm)
between the content of the drawer and the fan input.
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Electromagnetic interference
WARNING
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM
frequency energy that heats cookware by using an
electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies
with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This
induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to
minimize interference with other devices in residential
installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference
with television or radio reception. If interference occurs,
the user should try to correctthe interference by:
▯ Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
▯ Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the
receiver.
▯ Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the
receiver.
It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.
7
Causes of damage
▯ 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 result in a four-fold increase in
energy use. 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. Note: The
manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of
the pan's base.
▯ 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.
▯ Select a lower power level.
▯ 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.

Cooking by induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated
directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of
advantages:
▯ Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is
heated directly.
▯ Energy is saved.
▯ Greater convenience in care and cleaning. Foods that
have spilled on the cooktop surface do not burn as
quickly.
▯ Heat and safety control; the cooktop supplies or cuts
off power immediately when the controls are set. The
induction cooktop stops supplying heat if the pan is
removed without turning off the power first.
Proper cookware
Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction
cooking, these can be made from:
▯ enamelled steel
▯ cast iron
▯ special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking
Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a
magnet to find out if they are suitable.
Other suitable cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware with a base not
entirely ferromagnetic that are made for induction
cooking use.
When using large cookware
on a smaller ferromagnetic
element, only the
ferromagnetic element heats
up, so heat might not be
uniformly distributed.
Cookware with aluminum on
the base reduce the ferromagnetic zone, so less
heat may be supplied or
problems with detection
might occur.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's
ferromagnetic area should
match the size of the element. If cookware is not
detected on an element, try it
on the next smaller element.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made of:
▯ thin normal steel
▯ glass
▯ clay
▯ copper
▯ aluminum
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base can influence the
evenness of the cooking results. Pans made from
materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel
sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and
energy.
No pan or improper size
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the
power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.
If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable
pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please
contact the technical service.
Pan detection
Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans,
which varies depending on the material of the pan you
are using. You should therefore use the element that best
matches the diameter of your pan.
Automatic detection on double or triple cooking elements
These elements can detect different pan sizes.
Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the
element will adapt automatically, and will turn on single
zone or the entire element, supplying the proper power to
obtain good cooking results.

following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,
tomato products and milk immediately with the razor
blade scraper (see special care chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.

Notes
▯ 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.

Fan noises
For proper operation of the electronic system, it is
necessary to regulate the temperature of the cooktop.
For this purpose, the cooktop is equipped with a cooling
fan, which is activated to reduce and regulate the
temperature of the electronic system. The fan may also
continue to run after the appliance is turned off if the
detected temperature of the cooktop is still too hot after
turning it off.
The noises described are a normal element of the
described induction technology and shouldn't be
regarded as defects.

Normal operating noises of the cooktop
Induction technology is based on the creation of
electromagnetic fields. They may generate heat directly
on the bottom of the cookware. Pots and pans may
cause a variety of noises or vibrations depending on the
way they've been manufactured. These noises are
described as follows:
Low humming (like a transformer)
This noise is produced when cooking at a high heat
level. It is based on the amount of energy transferred
from the cooktop to the cookware. The noise ceases or
quiets down when the heat level is reduced.
Quiet whistling
This noise is produced when the cooking vessel is
empty. It ceases once water or food is placed in the
vessel.
Crackling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of various
materials layered one upon the other. It's caused by the
vibrations of the surfaces where different materials meet.
The noise occurs on the cookware and can vary
depending on the amount and method of preparation of
the food.
Loud whistling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of different
materials layered one upon the other, and when they are
additionally used at maximum output and also on two
cooking zones. The noise ceases or quiets down when
the heat level is reduced.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
Corporations (“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.
BSH reserves the right to request proof of purchase at
the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that
the Product falls within the scope of this limited product
warranty.
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 100 miles 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
of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in
conjunction with air or water-going vessels).
▯ Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse,
abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure
to maintain, improper or negligent installation,
tampering, failure to follow operating instructions,
mishandling, unauthorized service (including selfperformed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's
internal workings).
▯ Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
▯ A failure to comply with any applicable state, local,
city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building
codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install
the product in strict conformity with local fire and
building codes and regulations.
