1.3 Touch-Control operations
Each key operation is always confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Pressing the on/off switch key
N switches on the control system: Put your finger on the button until a "0" lights up
at all of the cooking level displays. The next action must be carried out within ten seconds, otherwise the control
system will automatically switch off again.
Select a cooking level from 1 to 9 by means of the minus or plus keys
R/Q. When switched on, each cooking zone
can be switched off again at any time.
The minus key
R can be used to turn the cooling level down to "0"; if the minus and plus keys R+Q are pressed
at the same time, the cooling level can be switched off directly.
In all cases the complete control system can be switched off at any time by pressing the on/off key
N: To switch
off the entire cooking range place your finger briefly on the on/off switch until the control lights go out.
Pressing locking key
O prevents all the keys - with the exception of the on/off key - from being operated by
mistake. Successful locking is indicated by the control lamp
P. Pressing the locking key O cancels this command
again.
Residual heat display Residual heat display
The residual heat display is by means of an illuminated "H" on the appropriate cooking level display S.

Parboiling boost
Press the minus key R and select cooking level 9. Then switch
on the parboiling boost by means of the plus key
Q. During the
parboiling stage, the cooking level display
S switches
continuously between the "A" sign (parboiling boost) and the
cooking level which has been set. Now you can select the
subsequent cooking level 1 - 8. If you quit cooking level 9
without selecting a subsequent cooking level from 1-8, then
the parboil boost is shut off automatically after 10 seconds.
The parboiling boost time depends on the subsequent cooking
level which has been selected. Details are given in the
accompanying time chart.
If the plus key
Q is selected after the required subsequent
cooking level has been selected, the parboiling boost time is
adjusted upwards in accordance with the time chart. If the
minus key
R is pressed after the required subsequent cooking
level has been deselected, the parboiling boost is stopped
beforehand.
Pot Recognition (PR)
An advantage of the induction heating method is pan detection. If there is no pan or a pan placed on the cooking
zone that is too small, then no energy is transmitted. If the cooking zone is switched on, the pan symbol "u
" flashes
in the cooking level display
S. During the next 10 minutes the pan detection will identify a placed pan and it will
switch on the selected level. In the same way, the power supply to the cooking zone is interrupted, if the pan is
removed from the cooking zone. If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and
the pot detection still switches on, then the power supply will take place with less power.
Power boost
For the induction cooking zone 2 an additional power boost can be activated for a fast
parboiling boost. Select cooking level
1-9 and switch on the power level by pressing
the power key
T. By activating this power mode, the power supply for the induction
cooking zone
2 will be increased to 3000 W for a maximum time of 10 minutes. This
will be indicated by a "P". Abschalten der Powerstufe durch die Minustaste
R oder
durch nochmaliges Betätigen der Powertaste
T stellt die Kochzone auf Kochstufe 9.
Die Kochzone wird nach 10 Minuten automatisch von Powerstufe auf Kochstufe
9
umgestellt. The power supply for the cooking zone 1 is decreased to 600 W for this
time. This will be indicated by continuous changing in the display between selected
cooking range and decreased cooking range. After switching back from the power
mode, the cooking zone
1 provides the full power.
Safety switch-off
Continuous operation of each individual cooking zone is
temporally limited by a safety shut-off which switches off the
cooking zone in accordance with the selected cooking level
after a specified time interval. The intervention times of this
safety device are included in the attached time table.
When the safety switch-off has switched off the touch control
system, a "0" is shown in the cooking level display
S, or an "H"
if there is still any residual heat left. Pressing the on/off switch
key makes the control system ready for operation again.
If more than one key is pressed simultaneously - with the
exception of the minus and plus keys - the control system will
not accept this as a valid command. If one or more keys are
activated for longer than 30 seconds, for example by boiling
over or the weight for a pan, the control system assumes that
there is an error and switches off automatically. If key
operation continues, a constant acoustic signal sounds.

2. Things to watch out for
2.1 Important tips for induction
2.1.1 Induction cooking zones and mess tin
Your ceramic hob is equipped with induction cooking zones which are characterised by high performance when it
comes to quick heating and energy saving. The heat is generated directly in the bottoms of the pots where it's
needed, without a loss of energy through the ceramic hob. That's why the energy consumption is lower than with
normal radiation heating elements.
The ceramic hob is not directly heated, though it becomes hot due to the effect of heat reflected by the pan. When
the cooking zones are switched off, a hot cooking zone is indicated by the flashing "H" (residual heat indicator). In
induction cooking zones, heating is achieved by means of an induction coil installed below the ceramic hob which
produces an electromagnetic field. With the use of magnetizable pans or dishes made of steel, steel mesh or iron
cast (suitable for induction ceramic hob), energy is transmitted directly to the bottom of the equipment.
Only use induction cooking zones with suitable cooking utensils, made of materials such as
steel, steel mesh or cast iron. Stainless steel pans with copper or aluminium bottoms and
glass pans are not suitable. When you purchase a set of pans, check for the label "Suitable
for induction".
2.1.2 Protection against overheating
The ceramic hob is provided with a protection against overheating, which protects the electronics against damage.
The protection against overheating works in several stages. If there is a significant increase in the heat of the
ceramic hob, then a two-stage fan switches on. If this is not enough, then the power level mode will be deactivated
and the power for the individual cooking zones decreased or switched off completely. Full power will be available
again once the ceramic hob has cooled down.
2.1.3 General
The best transmission is obtained when the pots and the cooking zone are of equal dimension. Always use a lid.
Energy is wasted if you cook without a lid placed correctly on the pan. Always take away overflow food.
Clean the hob before using it for the first time.
2.2 Important
Attention: The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Keep
small children away at all times.
Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the
material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the
ceramic hob to break. If careless treatment results in a break, split or crack, the ceramic hob must immediately be
taken out of use and disconnected from the mains power supply. To do this, switch off the safety switch for the
oven connection in the fuse box. Customer Service must be contacted.
Objects made out of metal, like knifes, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the
cooking zones, because they might become hot.
The cooking zone must be switched off after use by means of the touch control and not only
via pan detection. This is to avoid accidental activation.
Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a storage area! Never prepare food in aluminium foil and plastic containers
on the hot cooking area. Do not switch the hob on without using it for cooking. Do not place combustible, volatile
or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
Overheated oil and fat can catch fire; for this reason, never leave food unattended which is cooked with fat or oil,
e.g. chipped potatoes. In addition, make sure that leads from electrical appliances plugged into nearby sockets
cannot come into contact with the hot cooking zones.
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!

3. Cleaning and Care
Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of
dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only
recommended cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive
powders scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are
aggressive and damage the surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the
surface. Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon
juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface.
If these agents come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet
cloth, otherwise the frame loses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel", "Stahlfix" or "Cerafix" to remove
heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take
effect than wipe off completely with cold water; then dry the surface
thoroughly. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to
take effect than wipe off completely with cold water; then dry the surface
thoroughly. Leave it to take effect than wipe off completely with cold water;
then dry the surface thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can
become aggressive when the hob is reheated.
Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper Å
which can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops
or from our after-sales service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If you
buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this
will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper.
Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In
order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be
immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot
Ç, É.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues
which were not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring Ö is caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great
difficulty with "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel" or "Stahlfix". You may have
to clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Worn decoration Ü. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will
appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan
bottoms.
Remove melted sugar and food containing sugar immediately while still hot
with a glass scraper
Å, otherwise damage may be caused to the surface Ç,
É.
If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and
cleaning will be easier.
To care for your hob we recommend that you use "Cerafix". The high
silicone percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off
water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean
your hob and the cooking zones regularly.

4. Fitting
4.1 Electrical connections
(Connected loads and model designation: see front of the operating instructions)
This appliance may only be connected to the electricity supply by an approved electrician who must ensure
that the installation complies with the statutory regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV,
etc.). The electrician must ensure that these regulations and those laid down by the local electricity supply
company are observed.
When connecting the electrical appliance, install an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at
least 3 mm. Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the voltage on the nameplate.
To connect the hob the cable has to be connected to an appliance connection socket.
Make sure that the excess cable length is not laid in the hob's installation area.
If the excess cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer,
the customer service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
The connection cable must be at least HO5 RR-F.
See Fig. 4 for the position of the cable cut-out.
4.2 Maintenance and repair work
Before repair work is carried out, disconnect the appliance from the mains. If you have to contact our service
department, always quote the type and make numbers. You can find these numbers on the nameplate or on
page 1 of the Operating Instructions. Each time the glass ceramic hob is removed from the worktop, check the
seals and replace if necessary.
4.3 Working surface cut-out
Carry out all cutting out of furniture units and worktops before fitting the appliance, and remove all sawdust and
chips.
The dimensions of the worktop recess can be seen in the dimension drawing (Figs.
The worktop and the hob must be fitted horizontally. A tilted hob is under tension and this increases the danger of
breaking.
Page 8
16 223245
4.4 Installation
Before installing the hob, check that the all-round hob seal has no gaps.
If the hob is installed in a worktop with a ceramic or similar cover (tiles),
remove the hob seal and seal the hob from the worktop with a plastic
seal, such as heat-resistant silicone rubber.
Important! If the hob is installed above furniture parts (side
walls, drawers, etc.) it must be ensured that accidental contact
with the underside of the hob is prevented by means of a touch
guard. The touch guard may only be capable of removal with
suitable tools and must be attached to the underside of the cooking
surface at a minimum distance of 20 mm so that the mains
connection cable does not touch the underside of the cooking
surface (Fig. 4). The back wall of the cabinet must be open in order
to provide for air circulation. The front transverse strip of the
furniture must be removed so that an opening is provided for air
flow underneath the worktop over the entire width of the unit. The
distance between induction hob and kitchen furniture resp. built-in
unit must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induction. The
distance between induction hob and kitchen furniture resp. built-in
unit must ensure a sufficient ventilation of the induction. Thus a
back-flow of warmed air is prevented from entering the cool air
intake. Important! The screen shield must not cover the ventilation
openings. If necessary, shorten the shield up to the furniture or
built-in unit. Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g.
from a baking oven without a cross flow cooling device.
No cross-bars may be in the area of the cut-out underneath.
Place the hob carefully into the cut-out and fasten it to the worktop with the
fasteners.
Screw the springs into the worktop as shown in the drawing. The hob is then
pressed carefully from above into the retaining springs.
When screwing the springs, always use the upper hole of the spring, unless
the worktop is tiled. (Fig. 3)
Make sure that the worktop and the hob are horizontal. In addition, make sure that no liquids can penetrate
between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into contact with any
electrical appliances. Use sealing sections, strips, agents, etc. For the purposes of fire safety this appliance is a
Type Y appliance. This means that it can be installed with its rear side and one of the other sides in contact with
room or unit walls of any height. The other sides may only be in contact with furniture or other appliances with the
same height as the appliance.
