8
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.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
~
not flambé under a cooker hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
~
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will
~
build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob 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.
9
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 hob 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 hob. 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 hob heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob 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.
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 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 hob cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
~
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use pots or pans on the hob 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 hob. Sliding them into place can
~
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 items or pans on the display as this could cause
~
damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the
area around the display.
Induction heating works extremely quickly and 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 hob 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 hob.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if
~
the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any
metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob
This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
~
underneath the hob, 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 hob.
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
~
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 hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven or cooker, the hob
~
should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out,
as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the
hob (see relevant section).
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After
sales service, data plate, guarantee" section of this booklet.
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 hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be
visible between the hob 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.
Before using for the first time
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 hobs is
very much shorter than on conventional hobs.
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 the display,
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, the ß will go out and you can continue as normal.
20
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 hob 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 hob off after use.
