the appliance unattended during operation.
Safe operation
Adults and children must not operate the appliance without supervision if:
■ they do not have the physical or mental ability,
2 Ø = cm
■ or they lack the knowledge and experience required
to operate the appliance correctly.
Overheated oil and fat
Risk of fire!
Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot oil
or fat unattended. Never attempt to extinguish burning fat or oil
with water. Extinguish the flames with a lid or a plate. Switch the
hotplate off.
Hot hotplates
Risk of burning!
Never touch hot hotplates. Small children must be kept at a
safe distance from the hob.
Risk of fire!
■ Never place combustible items on the hob.
■ Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers
directly underneath the hob.
Wet saucepan bases and hotplates
Risk of injury!
Steam pressure may build up if there is liquid between the
saucepan base and the hotplate. This may cause the pan to
jump suddenly. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases
dry.
Cracks in the ceramic
Risk of electric shock.!
Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box if the ceramic has
fractures, flaws or cracks. Call the after-sales service.
The hotplate heats up but the display does not work
Risk of burning!
Switch off the hotplate if the display is not working. Call the
after-sales service.
The hob switches off automatically
Risk of fire!
If the hob switches itself off and can then no longer be used, it
may unexpectedly switch itself on later. In order to prevent this,
disconnect the hob from the power supply. To do so, switch off
the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Call the after-sales service.
Incorrect repairs
Risk of electric shock.!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Switch off the circuit breaker in
the fuse box, if the appliance is faulty. Call the after-sales
service. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our qualified
after-sales engineers.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
■ Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
■ Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
■ Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
Overview
The following table provides an overview of the most frequent kinds of damage:

Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Environmental protection
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Environmental protection
This appliance is labelled in accordance with the
European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE –
waste electrical and electronic equipment). The
guideline determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable.
Tips for saving energy
■ Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking
without the lid requires four times as much energy.
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with
uneven bases increases energy consumption.
■ The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are
placed on the hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the
top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
■ Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full
saucepan requires more energy.
■ Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
■ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
you can switch the hotplate off 5 - 10 minutes before the end
of the cooking time.

setting.
To change the heat setting:
Select the hotplate and set the desired ongoing cooking setting in the settings range.
To switch off the hotplate:
Select the hotplate and set to 0 in the settings range.
When heating thick liquids, stir regularly.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
