Safety
Safety When Cleaning
• Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning
instructions in this manual.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
• Please be careful 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 on to 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.
Important: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass
scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!
• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic
glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminium foil, or
cooking wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs have melted on
the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away
immediately.

Disposal of old appliances
Warning: Before disposing of old appliances please make them
inoperable so that they cannot be the source of danger.
To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the
appliance from the house circuitry.
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 Council or Environmental Health
Office.
Note: Moisture coming from or appearing around Hob.
The moisture could be coming from the wood and hob when the
hob is operated initially or after long time of no operation.
This is not a fault with the Hob.

Induction
Functionality of Cooking Zones
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 compare as with other heating methods, first heating
the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is
immediately heated up, which saves time and energy.
Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base
of the pan, the cooking zone itself hardly warms up. It only receives
the reflected heat from the pan base.
Note:
If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone
there is no energy transfer (heating up) and
therefore prevents the cooking zones being
switched on accidentally.
Special Notes on Induction Cooking Zones
• Scientific studies have shown that patients who have implanted
pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our
induction cooking zones.
The distance between the body and the cooking zone should,
however, never be less than 30 cm from the induction burners.
• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere
with portable transistor radios.
• Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards,
cassettes) on 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
induction surface as they can be warmed up when the induction
surface is in use.
Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction
cooking zones. This is not a fault in the hob and its function will
not be impaired in any way as a result.

Suitable Kitchenware for Induction Cooking
Zones
Pots and Pans
• In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable.
These are steel, steel-enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans.
• High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base,
e.g. Tefal with an aluminium/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, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's
instructions and do not use very thin pan.
Suitability Test
If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for cooking or frying on
the induction cooking zone you can check this as follows:
• Place a pot filled with a little water (3-5 mm) on the cooking
zone.Switch the cooking zone to full power (switch setting 9).
Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up
within a few seconds! Water should rapidly boil.
• You can also check this with a magnet. If it remains fixed to the
base the pan is suitable for induction cooking zones.
10
Suitable Kitchenware
Pan Size
Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone adapts itself to the
size of the pan base diameter. However, the pan base diameter
must be of a minimum size, depending on the size of the cooking
zone.
• Optimum Induction Cooking Zone.
Diameter of the cooking zone 15 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 12 cm
Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm:
Diameter of the pan base at least 18 cm
• Optimum Radiant Cooking Zone.
Diameter of the cooking zone 15 cm:
Diameter of the cooking zone 26 cm: (with oval)
Automatic Pan Sensing in induction
The induction cooking zone does not function when unsuitable pans
are used.
If the cooking zone is switched on without a suitable pan on it
the cooking zone switches itself off automatically.
11
Pots and pans
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base
should be as thick and flat as possible.
• When buying new pots and pans, pay particular attention to the
diameter of the base. Maunfacturers often only state the diameter
of the rim.
• Pots with aluminum, or copper bases can cause metallic
discolouring on the ceramic glass surface which is very difficult or
impossible to remove.
• Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged
bases which are rough and or have burrs on them. Scratches can
occur if they are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly in wards
(concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a pressure cooker,
simmering pan, wok etc.) please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions.
General information
• The base should always be clean and dry.
• In order to avoid ugly scratches on the ceramic glass cooking
surface, do not slide pots and pans around but lift them up instead
when changing positions.
• Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out
vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking
surface.
• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing
can boil over.

Tips on saving energy
You will save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking
zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase the power
consumption.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots
and pans so that they are completely covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to
use the residual heat for keeping food warm or for melting
purposes. (Not applicable for induction)
• The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking
zone.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.
