the mains fuse is disconnected,

the screw-out fuse is removed

(in countries where this is applicable),

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger of electric shock.

Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the rangehood on fire.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door whilst the cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of burning.

Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop could also melt or catch fire.

Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge.

Do not use the appliance as a resting place.

Switch the cooking zones off after use and do not rely on the pan detector.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.

Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use pots or pans on the cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place will cause scuffs and scratches.

Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.

Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Do not place hot objects on the control field as this could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the touch display.

Induction heating works extremely quickly, so the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the Booster function to heat oil or fat.

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot if the induction cooktop is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop

This cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop.

Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or combined PowerFlex zone at the same time.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).

13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. If handled or disposed of incorrectly they could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. Please do not dispose of your appliance with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate, warranty" section of this booklet.

Alternatively, the additional label can be stuck near the appliance if the appliance markings are not visible after installation.

Cleaning for the first time

Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.

Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Before using for the first time

On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the cooktop and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.

The metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The induction coils may also give off a slight smell for the first few hours of operation. This smell will be less noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating completely.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.

Please note that the heating up time on induction cooktops is very much shorter than on conventional cooktops.

19

Induction

The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). The induction cooking zone automatically recognises the size of the pan.

The ß symbol flashes alternately with the power setting selected in one of the cooking zones

if it is switched on without a pan in place, or if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base),

if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small,

if the pan is taken off the cooking zone when it is switched on.

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within 3 minutes, ß will go out and you can continue as normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Danger of burning!

Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for metal items (e.g. cutlery). When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up, with the danger of burning.

Switch the cooktop off after use.

20

Induction

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.

On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.

Whistling might occur if linked zones (see "Booster") are being used at the same time, and the pans also have bases made of layers of different materials.

You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower power settings.

You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when the cooktop is being used intensively. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.
