Safety instructions

Connection and operation

• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the rele­vant safety regulations.

• Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and serv­icing the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified elec­trician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For your
own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service
technician to install, service or repair this appliance.

General information on the hob

• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which
have been switched on. Avoid boiling the pots dry as there is a
risk of the pots overheating!

• Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water
may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to
the hob for which no liability will be assumed.

• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always
supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.

• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You
should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might
break it.

• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob
develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind.
Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse
immediately and call Customer Service.

• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor
control immediately disconnect your appliance and call Cus­tomer Service.

• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting
cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.

• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.

• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones.
Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in
particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any
sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to
avoid damaging the hob.

• Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects
directly underneath the hob.

• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food
or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!

• Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may consider
dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans, tea towels
etc.) onto the sensor keys!

• If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to acti­vate the OFF key.

• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.

• Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can
ignite!

• Avoid repeated burning of contaminations.

Concerning persons

• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (includ­ing children) with physical, mental or sensory impairments or
who by persons (including children) who lack the required
experience or know-how, unless such persons are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety or have been given
instructions on how to use the appliance by a person responsi­ble for their safety.
Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

• Attention!

The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot
during use. Keep small children away at all times.

Operating the hob with the sensor keys

The ceramic glass hob is operated with touch control sensor
keys. The sensor keys are operated as follows: lightly touch a
symbol on the surface of the ceramic glass plate. A buzzer will
indicate when the controls have been operated correctly. The
touch control sensor key will then be indicated as “key”.

ON/OFF key (7)

This key is used to switch the entire hob on and off. It is, as it
were, the main switch.

Cooking zone selection key; e.g. front left (8)

Pressing one of the cooking zone selection keys available will
select a cooking zone, for which the Plus key or the Minus key
may be used to set the cooking level.

Plus key / Minus key (10)

These keys are used to set the cooking levels, the automatic
switch-off device and the minute minder. The Minus key reduces
the setting and the Plus key raises it. The setting can be deleted
by pressing both keys simultaneously.

Operation

Operation time limit

The hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of
continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking
level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of a respec­tive cooking zone is not adjusted during use. If the operation time
limit has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off, a short
signal will sound and an H will appear in the display.

Other functions

If two or more sensors are pressed at the same time – e.g. when
a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor button – no function is
activated.

The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will
sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please
remove the item located in front of the sensor buttons.

To delete the symbol press the same button or switch the hob
off and on.

How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your con­sumption of energy and use your new hob and the cookware effi­ciently.

• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the
cooking zone.

• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the diame­ter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually larger
than the base of a pot.

• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time
required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are pre­served.

• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure
cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be dam­aged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker boils dry.

• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.

• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking.
A large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.

Power settings

The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use
each setting.

Residual heat display

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a resid­ual heat display.

As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has
been switched off, the residual heat can be used for melting food
or for keeping food warm. The cooking zone may still be hot
when the letter H no longer lights up. Risk of burns!
