(Important safety information
:Warning – Risk of fire!
■Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
■The hotplates become very hot. Never place combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.
■The appliance gets hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.
■The hob switches off automatically and can no longer be operated. It may switch on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
■The hotplates and surrounding area (particularly the hob surround, if fitted) become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
■The hotplate heats up but the display does not work. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
■Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the hob.
■After each use, always turn off the hob at the main switch. Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically after the pan is removed.
:Warning – Risk of electric shock!
■Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the aftersales service.
■Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
Important safety information |

■A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
■Cracks or fractures in the glass ceramic may cause electric shocks. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
:Warning – Malfunction risk!
The hob is equipped with a fan in the lower section. If there is a drawer under the hob it should not be used to store small objects or paper, since they could damage the fan or interfere with the cooling if they are sucked into it.
There should be a minimum of 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and fan intake.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
■When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heatresistant cookware.
■Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the pan base and the hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry.

en Causes of damage
]Causes of damage
Caution!
■Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
■Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so may cause damage.
■Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
■Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.
■Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

7Environmental protection
In this section, you can find information about saving energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
■Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
■Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.
■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
■Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
■Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
■Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

fInduction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■Saves time when boiling and frying.
■Saves energy.
■Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
■Heat control and safety – the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:
■Cookware made from enamelled steel
■Cookware made from cast iron
■Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, refer to the section on
~ "Cookware check".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.

If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can find information on positioning cookware in the section on ~ "Flex Zone".

en Induction cooking
Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:
■If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■common thin steel
■glass
■earthenware
■copper
■aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a threelayer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material from which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan.
