Avoid damage to the appliance
Environmental awareness
Never use the hob as a work surface or for
storage.
Do not operate the cooking zones with empty
pots or pans, or with no pots and pans on them.
Avoid boiling pots and pans dry.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature
shocks and is very robust, however it is not
unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects
that fall on the cooking surface could damage it.
Do not use any cast iron pots or pans with
damaged bases with rough edges or burrs.
Sliding these across the hob could cause
scratches.
Do not place any pots or pans on the frame of the
hob. Scratches and damage to the varnished
surface may occur.
Always make sure that no acid-containing liquids
such as vinegar, lemon or lime-dissolving agents
are split on the hob frame as these can cause
dull spots to appear.
Remove sugary substances with a cleaning
scraper while still hot. If left to cool down, it may
damage the surface when removed.
Keep objects and materials, liable to melt (e.g.
synthetic materials, aluminium foils etc.), away
from the ceramic glass surface.
Remove melted substances with a cleaning
scraper while still hot. If left to cool down, it may
damage the surface when removed.
All packaging materials used can be recycled.
The materials used must not be disposed of in

Your appliance components
Your hob components
Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance
has a ceramic glass surface with four rapid
response cooking zones.
The cooking surface is non-porous and
furthermore proof against abrupt fluctuations in
temperature. Pots may therefore be swapped
from a hot to a cold zone.
The smooth surface is easy to clean.
Rapid response cooking zones: The appliance
has rapid response cooking zones. The
particularly powerful radiant heater elements
substantially shorten the amount of time taken
for the zones to heat up.
On switching on the cooking zones a brief
buzzing tone in the heating elements may be
heard. This noise is physically conditioned and
has no negative influences on the appliance’s
function. It is no longer heard once the cook zone
is sufficiently heated.
Single ring cooking zone: The cooking area
has a single ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone for smaller pots.
This saves energy.
Double ring cooking zone: The cooking area
has a double ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone with variable size,
e.g., for smaller pots. This saves energy.
Triple ring cooking zone: The cooking area has
a triple ring cooking zone. With this, your
appliance has a cooking zone with variable size,
e.g., for smaller pots. This saves energy.
Casserole cooking zone (multi-purpose
cooking zone): The cooking area is equipped
with a casserole cooking zone (multi-purpose
cooking zone). Depending on the setting it may
be used as a round or oval cook zone.

Hob operation tips
Pots and pans
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognise good pots and pans by
their bases. The base should be as thick and
flat as possible.
• When buying new pots and pans, pay
particular attention to the diameter of the
base. Manufacturers often only state the
diameter of the rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can
cause metallic discolouring on the ceramic
glass surface which is very difficult or
impossible to remove.
• Do not use cast iron pots or pots with
damaged bases which are rough and/ or
have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if
they are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed
slightly inwards (concave). They should
never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok etc.)
please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Energy saving
You will save valuable energy by
observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before you
switch on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase
power consumption.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly
placed on the pots and pans so that they are
completely covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end
of the cooking time to use the residual heat
for keeping foods warm or for melting
purposes.
• The base of the pot should have the same
size as the cooking zone.
General information
• The base should always be clean and dry.
• In order to avoid ugly scratches on the
ceramic glass cooking surface, do not slide
pots and pans around but lift them up instead
when changing positions.
• Scratches can result from grains of sand
(e.g., after washing out vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking
surface.
• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of
liquid so that nothing can boil over.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the
cooking times by up to 50%.
25
Cooking with and without the automatic warm-up function
The automatic warm-up function is suitable
for:
• Dishes that start off cold, are heated up at
high power and do not need to be continually
watched when cooking on the lower heat
setting.
• Dishes that are put into a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm-up function is not
suitable for:
• Goulash, beef olives and similar braised
dishes that need continual turning until
browned correctly, have liquid added and are
then braised until cooked,
• Dumplings, pasta dishes with lots of liquid,
• Cooking with pressure cookers,
• Very large quantities of soups/stews with
more than 2 litres of liquid.
General information:
• When cooking without the automatic warmup function, we recommend the use of a high
heat setting to warm up the food (with the button) and then leaving the dish to finish
cooking at a suitable lower heat setting.
• Pay special attention to the results of your
first use of the appliance. You can then
decide which heat setting is the best for „your
dishes” in the “quantities you are accustomed
to preparing” with your own „pots and pans”.
You will then quickly appreciate the
advantages of the automatic function and will
feel secure and relaxed with your new hob.

Cleaning and care
Hob
Important! Cleaning agents must not
come into contact with the hot ceramic
glass surface! All cleaning agents must
be removed with plenty of clean water
after cleaning because they have a
caustic effect when the zones are
heated up again.
Never use any aggressive cleaners
such as grill or oven sprays, coarse
scourers or abrasive pot cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after
every use when it is hand-warm or in a
cold condition. In this way you avoid
spillage burning solidly to the surface.
Remove scale and water marks, fat
spots and metallic shimmer
discolouring with commercially
available ceramic glass or stainless
steel cleaner.
Stubborn soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over, or to

Problem soiling
Minor soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp
cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Then, rub dry with a clean cloth. Cleaner
residues must not remain on the surface.
3. Once a week, you must thoroughly clean the
entire ceramic glass cooking surface with a
commercially available ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using
plenty of clean water and rub dry with a clean
fluff-free cloth.
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other materials which melt
immediately while there are in a hot
condition, using a suitable cleaning scraper.
Important! You risk burning yourself
when using the cleaning scraper on the
hot cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it has
cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which something
has melted has already cooled down,
warm it up again before cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the
ceramic glass surface, caused for
example by a pot or pan base with
sharp edges, cannot be removed.
However, they do not impair the
functioning of the hob.
