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.
Concerning the hob
• Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as
the high power setting (power max.) results in extremely
fast reactions.
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the
cooking zones. Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there is a risk
of the pots overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which
have been switched on.
• 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.
• It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off
with the respective minus button and not just with the pan
recognition device.
• 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.
• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass
ceramic hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
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.
• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put
down on the induction hob since they may become hot. Risk of
burning!
• Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat deformable
objects directly underneath the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the
immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) will not be
affected.
• 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 buttons clean since the appliance may
consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans,
tea towels etc.) onto the sensor buttons!
If food boils over onto the sensor buttons, we advise you to
activate the OFF button.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor buttons, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
• Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home
which could make contact with the hob.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation
is taking place in a built-in oven.
Concerning persons
•Caution!
People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must only be
allowed to operate it under supervision. Small children must
always be kept away from the hob. Never allow them to play
with the appliance.
• Attention:
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot
during use. Keep small children away at all times.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps
must make sure that their implants are not affected by the
induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is 2050 kHz).

Operating the hob with the sensor buttons
The ceramic glass hob is operated with touch control sensor
buttons. The sensor buttons 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 button will then be indicated as „button“.
ON/OFF button (8)
This button is used to switch the entire hob on and off. It is, as it
were, the main switch.
Minus button / Plus button (5)
These buttons are used to set the cooking levels, the automatic
switch-off device and the minute minder.
The minus button reduces the setting and the plus button raises
it.
The setting can be deleted by pressing both buttons simultaneously.
Power setting display (4)
The power setting display shows the power setting which has
been selected, or:
H................ Residual heat
P................ Power boost setting

Operation
Operation
The hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An
induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an
electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass
ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred
from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food
being cooked but the necessary heat is generated directly in the
container by means of induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
– Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to
the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are
required).
– Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot
is placed on the hob.
– Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking
zone and the base of a pot.
– Rapid heat-up.
– The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated
through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to
the surface.
– Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
Pan recognition
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone
or if the pan is too small, there will be no transmission of power. A
blinking in the cooking level display points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power
setting will switch on and the power setting display will light up.
The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the
power setting display will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller
dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power
will be supplied.

Operating time limit
The induction 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.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time
limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of
time of the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g.
automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 12 is
possible).

Other functions
If two or more sensor buttons are pressed at the same time (e.g.
when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor button) no function
will be 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.
Protection against overheating
If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be
possible to cool down the electronics system as required at a
high room temperature.
In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the
electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be
reduced automatically.
Should E2 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob
and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not
sufficient.
The reason may be that there are no openings for cooling
purposes in the kitchen units or that there is no insulation. It may
be necessary to check the installation of the hob.
