• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop
glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time,
apply the recommended cooktop cleaning
creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a
non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.
The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves
a protective finish on the glass to help prevent
scratches and abrasions.
• Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or
storage space.
• Please be careful at the edges when moving
pots and pans around.
• Do not have the cooking zones on with empty
pans, or with no pots or pans on them.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious
to sharp temperature changes but is not
unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall onto it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast
iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs.
Moving these can cause scratches on glass.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto
a hot cooking zone and melts, remove
immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down,
it may damage the surface when removed.
NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself
when the glass scraper is used on a hot
cooking zone!
• Keep meltable objects or materials away from
the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic
utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps.
If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the
ceramic-glass surface, these should be
cleaned up immediately.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
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 disposal sites from
your local health council or environmental
health office.
CAUTION
Before disposing of old appliances please
make them inoperable so they cannot be
a source of danger. To do this, have a
qualified person disconnect the appliance
from the house circuitry.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING
INDUCTION COOKING
HOW INDUCTION COOKING WORKS
An induction coil is beneath
the ceramic glass cooking
surface. This generates
magnetic fields, which act
directly on the base of the
pots and pans as
compared to methods that
first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the
base of the pan is immediately heated up,
saving time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated
directly in the base of the pan, the Cooking Zone
itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop becomes
hot from the heat from the base of the pan.
NOTE: If there is no pot or pan on the cooking
zone, there is no energy transfer (heating up).
This prevents the Cooking Zones being switched
on and becoming hot accidentally.
IMPORTANT:
• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before
using the appliance. Destroy the carton and
plastic bags after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with packaging
materials.
• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic
circuits and interfere with portable radios
and phones.
• Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g.,
credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on
or near the ceramic glass surface while one or
more induction cooking zones are in use!
• Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons,
pan lids) on the Cooking Zones as they can
become hot when the Cooking Zones are
in use.
SELECTING COOKWARE
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware
made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically labeled by the manufacturer for use with
induction cooktops.
ENGLISH
POTS AND PANS
• In principle, all pots and pans with magnetic
bases are suitable. These include steel, steelenamel, as well as cast-iron pots and pans.
• High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base
(sandwich base, e.g. Tefal
aluminum/copper base) are suitable for
induction only if the manufacturer has
expressly marked them as such. In that case
they have a magnetic material in the base.
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do
not use a very thin pan.
NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises
when used on induction cooking zones. This is
not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not
be impaired in any way as a result.
®
with an
SUITABILITY TEST:
If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for
use with your induction cooktop, you can find out
with a few simple tests:
• Place a pot filled with a little water (1/8″–1/4″)
on the Cooking Zone. Set the Cooking Zone to
full power (power level 9).
CAUTION
The pan base of suitable kitchenware
heats up within a few seconds! Water
should boil rapidly.
• You can also check
cookware suitability
with a magnet. If the
magnet remains fixed to
the base of the pan, the
pan is suitable for
induction cooking.

INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING
SELECTING COOKWARE (continued)
AVOIDING SCRATCHES
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge
stainless steel cookware on your induction
cooktop surface. This will help reduce the
possibility of developing scratches on the
ceramic surface. Low-quality cookware can
scratch the cooktop surface.
Cookware should always be lifted over the
ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic
cooktop can affect the overall appearance of the
cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware
over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall
appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the
buildup of scratches can make cleaning the
surface difficult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.
Scratches can also result from grains of sand
(e.g., after washing vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
Always follow the recommendations for proper
cookware type and size. In addition:
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup.
Always use pans that are easy to clean after
cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the
pans are clean and dry.
• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use
large pots so that nothing can boil over.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause
permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marring that can af
cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered
by your warranty.)
• Match the pan size and Cooking Zone to the
amount of food being prepared.
fect the ceramic
USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE
Cookware must fully contact the surface of the
cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to
fit the cooking element and
amount of food being
prepared. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the
cookware.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY:
• Always position pots and pans before you
switch on the Cooking Zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use
more electricity.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly
placed on the pots and pans so that they are
completely covered.
