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
flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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 shut off feature may not turn off the
cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed on
the cooktop.
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.
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 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 induction
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 double-boiler the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the double-boiler 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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl
chloride, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
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 correct the 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
cooktop.
It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.
7
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
▯ Place a lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered
pan will result in a considerable 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. 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 the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
▯ 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 with Induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of
cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯ Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯ Saves energy.
▯ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯ Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction element stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from
the element, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯ Cookware made from enameled steel
▯ Cookware made from cast iron
▯ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction
cooking, refer to the section on ~ "Suitability test of
cookware".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area
on the base of the pan should match the size of the
element. If a element does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another element with a
smaller diameter.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware
made of:
▯ Traditional stainless steel
▯ Glass
▯ Clay
▯ Copper
▯ Aluminum
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
FP
LQ
FP
LQ
FP
LQ
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
▯ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material of which the base of the cookware is made
contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that
the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even
that it will not be detected.
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 Customer Support.
Pan detection
Each element has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the
cookware and the material of which its base is made. For
this reason, you should always use the element that best
matches the diameter of the base of the pan.

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.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.
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.
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.
16
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.
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.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of
soil for 30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper.
Rinse and dry.
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.

Frequently-asked questions and answers (FAQ)
Using the appliance
Why can't I switch on the cooktop and why is the child lock symbol lit?
The child lock is activated.
You can find information about this function in section ~ "Panel lock"
Why are the displays flashing and why can I hear an acoustic signal?
Remove any liquid or food remains from the control panel. Remove any objects from the control panel.
You can find instructions on how to deactivate the audible signal in the section on ~ "Basic settings"
Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the cooktop depending on the base material of the cookware. These
noises are a normal part of induction technology. They do not indicate a problem.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from different layers of material or when using cookware of different
sizes and different materials at the same time. The volume of the noise can vary depending on the quantity
of food being cooked or the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
Can occur when two elements are used on the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises
disappear or become quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The cooktop is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have switched off the cooktop if the temperature detected is still too high.
Cleaning
How do I clean the cooktop?
Using a special glass-ceramic cleaning agent produces the best results. We advise against using harsh or
abrasive cleaning agents, dishwater detergent (concentrated) or scouring pads.

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 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.

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
