IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING
~
AREA OR THE VICINITY AROUND THE
COOKING AREA - During operation,
the cooking area and its surroundings
will get hot and can cause burns. When
the cooktop is shut off, the surface may
remain hot enough to cause harm, even
though the glow is not visible through
the dark glass. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the
cooking area or the vicinity around the
cooking area until they have had
sufficient time to cool. As long as the
surface temperature is high enough to
cause a burn, the Residual Heat
Indicator will remain lit. Once sufficient
time has passed the indicator will go
out and the surface is safe to touch.
Protect your hands with oven mitts
~
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating elements. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
Do not heat unopened containers.
~
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
~
hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction and the grease
filters may ignite.
Never use the appliance to heat a
~
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
Do not store items on the appliance
~
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.
Always switch the cooking zone(s) off
after use.
Never cover the burner with a cloth
~
or protective oven foil. If inadvertently
turned on or if there is residual heat, a
fire could result.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
~
garments when operating the
appliance, they may present a fire
hazard.
Never leave an appliance
~
unattended at high settings or when
cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil
could ignite. Always heat oil slowly,
monitoring it as it heats.
Do not store aerosols, combustibles
~
or any other easily flammable materials
underneath or adjacent to the
appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires.
~
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or

6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make certain that the power cords of
~
small appliances do not come in
contact with the appliance. The
insulation of the cable could become
damaged. Danger of electric shock!
The control panel and/or the areas
~
around the cooktop (the cooktop
frames or surrounding (in the case of
facet cooktops) may become hot due to
the following factors: operating time,
high output settings, large cook ware,
and number of burners in operation.
Be careful not to drop anything on
~
the ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Even lightweight objects may cause
damage.
Use the proper pan size. Select
~
cookware with flat bottoms large
enough to cover the heating element.
Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element and
may result in ignition of clothing or
handles becoming hot. The proper size
pot or pan will also improve efficiency.
Do not use pots or pans with
~
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic cooktop. These could scratch
the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.
To prevent damage to the cooktop
~
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
Before using glass, glass/ceramic,
~
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
cookware verify that they can be used
on a cooking surface.
Do not use plastic or aluminum foil
~
cookware. It melts at high
temperatures. Fire hazard.
To prevent burns and breathing
~
difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool
before cleaning. Some cleaners may
produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
~
salt and sand can cause scratches.
When wiping spills on a hot cooktop
~
with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful
to avoid steam burns.
Do not let flammable materials,
~
i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the
appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
~
this appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
~
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on
the burners when they are hot. If these
residues are allowed to cool on the
ceramic surface pitting or even
cracking may occur.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Any spills should be removed as
~
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
Aluminum cookware or cookware
~
with aluminum base can cause shiny
metallic spots. These spots can be
removed with ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner (see "Cleaning
and Care").
Never heat up an empty pot, unless
~
the manufacturer explicitly allows this
can be done! Failure to comply can
result in a damaged cooktop.
NEVER set down hot pots or pans in
~
the area of the control panel. This can
damage the underlying electronics.
If the cooktop built in behind a
~
cabinet door, it should only be
operated with the door open.

Before using for the first time
Clean the cooktop
Before using for the first time, clean
^
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the cooktop, this may cause
permanent blue discolorations.
Heat the cooktop
Only for facet cooktops:
A small gap between the cooktop
and the work surface may be visible
in the first days of operation. It will
become smaller during use. Despite
this small gap, the electrical safety of
your appliance is always ensured.
Metal components of the appliance
have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time the
appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
13
How the burners operate
One-zone burners use one heating
strip; two-zone burners and grill zones
have two heating strips. Depending on
the model, the heating strips may be
separated by a ring.
Each burner has overheating protection
(internal temperature limiter) feature to
prevent the ceramic glass from
overheating (see "Overheat protection").
When a power level is set, the heat
element turns on and the heating strip
is visible through the ceramic glass.
The power setting determines how hot
the burner will get, and is electronically
regulated. This means that the burner
will switch on and off as needed to
maintain the selected power level.

Use
Do not touch any burner or place
any heat-sensitive items on a burner
as long as the residual heat
indicators are lit up. Danger of
burning!
After a power failure the residual
heat indicator will flash.
19
Selecting cookware
Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth
–
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
coldhot
Cast iron, glass or stoneware should
–
not be used because they have poor
heat transfer and may scratch the
cooktop surface.
– Also unsuitable is plastic or
aluminum foil cookware. These melt
at high temperatures.
– Copper bottom and aluminum
pans may leave a residue on the
cooktop in the form of metallic lines.
This is normal. These lines can be
removed using a non-abrasive
ceramic cooktop cleaner or a
shielded scraper blade.
Be sure to clean the cooktop after
each use. Each time this residue is
allowed to melt it becomes harder to
remove and may mar the
appearance of the cooktop.
Let the cooktop cool before
cleaning.
–
Use only pots and pans with flat
bases. Sharp pot and pan bases
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
–
Lift the cookware when moving it. In
this way you will avoid streaking from
friction and scratching.
Energy saving tips
For the most even and energy
–
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.
too smallfits
Whenever possible, keep pots and
–
pans closed while cooking. This
helps keep in the most possible heat.
openclosed
– Use a small pot for small amounts. A
small pot on a small burner needs
less energy then a larger partly filled
pot on a large burner.
–
Use little water when cooking and
take care to select a lower energy
level as soon as cooking is
completed.
–
For longer cooking periods, you can
switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10
minutes before the total cooking time
is completed. The residual heat will
continue to cook the food.
20
The cooktop must be turned on to use
h

Overheat protection
Each burner is equipped with a
temperature limiter. This feature
automatically turns off the heating
element before the glass ceramic
surface becomes too hot.
When the overheat protection is
triggered, the heating element turns on
and off even at the highest power level.
Once the glass ceramic surface has
cooled to a safe temperature the
heating element will automatically turn
back on.
The overheat protection is activated by:
– turning a burner on without putting a
pan on it.
– heating an empty pan.
– a pan with an uneven bottom not
sitting evenly on the burner.
Safety features
– the pan not conducting heat
properly.
