Before use

Read the instruction manual carefully before operating the cooktop. Only then will you be able to operate your cooktop safely and correctly. Keep the instruction and installation manual for future reference.

Do not connect the cooktop if it has been damaged.

This cooktop is intended only for domestic use. Only use the cooktop to prepare meals. Do not use the cooktop to heat up the room in which it is installed, the cooktop can overheat.

Do not let adults or children operate the appliance unsupervised:

– if they are mentally or physically unable to use the

appliance safely and correctly

– if they don’t have the knowledge and experience

to use the appliance safely and correctly.

Never allow children to play with the appliance.

Do not operate this cooktop with an external timer or a separate telecontrol system.

Connecting cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot cooking surface. This could cause damage to the cable insulation and the cooktop.

Caution, risk of fire! Never place inflammable items on the cooktop.

Caution, risk of fire! Do not store any combustible items, or substances that are sensitive to high temperatures, in drawers or cupboards under the cooktop (e.g. cleaning agents, aerosol cans).

Safety when cooking

Caution, risk of burns! Do not touch the hot

cooking surface. Keep children away.

Caution, risk of burns! Cooking zones might still be hot even after being switched off. Only touch cooking zones after the residual heat display has gone off.

Caution, risk of fire! Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave heating oil or fat unsupervised. Never pour water on burning oil. Cover pan with lid or plate, switch off the cooking zone. Leave the ovenware on the cooktop to cool down.

Always keep cooktop and pan base dry. Steam pressure can be generated from liquid between pan base and cooktop. The steam pressure could cause the pan to jump suddenly.

Damage to the cooktop

Caution! If there are fractures, breaks or cracks in

the glass ceramic, there is a risk of electric shock. Switch off the corresponding household fuse. Call after-sales service.

Caution, risk of burns! Switch off the cooking zone if it heats up but the indicator is not working. Call after-sales service.

Caution, risk of fire! If the cooktop switches itself off and can no longer be operated, disconnect it from the electricity supply immediately. The cooktop could switch itself on later. Switch off the corresponding household fuse. Call after-sales service.

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs must be carried out by one of our experienced after-sales engineers.

Safety notes

Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it according to local regulations. Be careful to remove all accessories from the packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic bags away from children.

Check the cooktop for transport damage after unpacking it. Do not connect the cooktop if it has been damaged.

The cooktop must be installed and connected by an authorised specialist. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from incorrect connection. Observe the installation instructions.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic

equipment – WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for the first time. This will eliminate any ‘newness’ smells and soiling.

Pots and pans

Rough pan bases scratch the glass ceramic.

Avoid cooking on the cooktop with an empty pan, especially with enamel or aluminium pans. This could cause damage to the pan base and the glass ceramic.

Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel, display area or the frame. This could cause damage.

Never heat food in aluminium foil or plastic containers. The material can melt and damage your cooktop.

Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases of some pans. These do not interfere with the operation of the glass ceramic cooktop. Remove the discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.

Food spills

Milk, sugar and food with a high sugar content (e.g. jam) damage the glass ceramic surface. Remove food spills immediately with the glass scraper. Caution! The glass scraper has a sharp blade.

Scratches on the glass ceramic

Always keep the cooktop dry and clean. Salt, sugar and sand cause scratches on the glass ceramic. Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.

Hard and pointed objects

Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the cooktop. Do not store such objects above the cooktop.

Main switch

The electronics in the control panel are switched on using the main switch. Touch the l symbol until the cooking zone displays show 0. Now the cooktop is ready for use.

Touch the l symbol until the cooking zone displays go off. All the cooking zones are switched off. The residual heat indicator remains lit until the cooking zones have cooled sufficiently.

The cooktop cannot be switched on if an object lies on one of the sensor keys. The main switch flashes repeatedly when touched. Remove the object and switch on the cooktop as usual.

The cooktop switches off automatically if all the cooking zones have been switched off for more than 20 seconds.

Touch keys

When you touch a symbol, the respective function is activated. Every input is confirmed by an audible signal.

The settings remain unchanged if several symbols are touched briefly. You can therefore easily mop up spills on the control panel.

Note

Always keep the touch keys clean and dry. Moisture and dirt may impair function.

Cooking zone combination

Flexible cooking zones can be combined in different ways to create larger or smaller cooking surfaces as required.

Quick boil timer

When the quick boil timer is activated, the set cooking level is boosted for several minutes. This ensures that the continued cooking temperature of the food is reached faster.
