These operating instructions contain information on steps you can take
yourself to rectify a possible malfunction. Refer to the section “What to do
if...”.
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we
also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety
instructions.
Electrical Safety
• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service
engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury
or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
3 Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any
damage that may occur.
• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in
suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of German Electrical
Engineers].
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep
small children away from the appliance.
Safety During Use
• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the
home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Do not use the hob to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near the
hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking
when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• Switch off the cooking zones after use.

Safety When Cleaning
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high
pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.
To Avoid damaging your appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans are
empty.
• Ceramic glass is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust; however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on the
cooking surface can damage it.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base.
Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the
paint may occur.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents,
are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately with a scraper
while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be damaged when it is removed.
• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the glass ceramic
surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed
immediately using the scraper.

2Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
All materials used can be fully recycled.
Plastics are marked as follows:
• >PE< for polyethylene, as used for the outer wrapping and the bags inside.
• >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g., as used for the padding materials. They
are completely free of CFCs.
Disposal of old appliances
1 Warning: Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable
so that they cannot be the source of danger.
To do this, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and remove
the mains lead.
To protect the environment, it is important that worn out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.
• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse dispos-
al sites from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.
The Key Features of Your Appliance
• Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass
cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The particularly
powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of time
taken for the zones to heat up.
• Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface is its easy
cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see section: “Cleaning and care”).
• Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indicator lights up if the cook-
ing zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

damaged.
Operating the hob
3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a character-
istic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the appliance.
Control knobs
• The heat settings are continuously variable between settings 1-12.
1 = lowest power
12 = highest power

Cooking on the Zones
1.Select a high setting for heating up /
browning.
2.As soon a steam starts to form or the
oil is hot, turn back to the heat setting
necessary for further cooking.
3.To stop cooking, turn back to the zero
position.
2Switch off the cooking zone approx. 5-10
minutes before the end of the cooking to
save energy by making use of the residual heat
