Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
• Fitting a mains socket, repairing and servicing the appliance are jobs that should be carried out by a qualified electrician according to valid safety regulations. For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.
For the hob
• Owing to the very fast reaction at the high power setting (power max.), do not use the induction hob without supervision!
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the cooking zones. Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans for the simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob, in the event of which no liability will be assumed.
• It is essential that you switch off a cooking zone after using it with the respective minus button and not just with the pan recognition device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always prepare meals with fats and oils under supervision. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the pan and switch off the cooking zone.
• The glass ceramic hob is extremely robust. Avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might break it.
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control immediately disconnect your appliance and call the Customer service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! The connecting cable must not contact the hot cooking zones.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put kitchen foil or plastic onto the cooking zones. Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in particular sugar and sugary foods, away from the hot cooking zone. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to avoid damaging the hob.
• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put down on the induction hob since they may become hot. Risk of burning!
• Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.

Operation
The hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food being cooked but the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
– Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to
the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are required).
– Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot
is placed on the hob.
– Energy transfer between induction cooking zone and pot base
with high efficiency. – High heat-up speed. – The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated
through the pan base, any food which boils over does not stick
to the surface. – Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
Pan recognition
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone or if the pan is too small, there will be no transmission of power. A blinking in the cooking level display points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power setting will switch on and the power setting display will light up. The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the power setting display will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, then the power supply will take place with less power.
Pan recognition limits
The minimum diameter of the base of a pot is indicated as an inner circle on the cooking zones of some of the models.
Operating time limit
The induction hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends on
the cooking level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not adjusted during the period of use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 9 is possible).
Other functions
If two or more sensors are pressed at the same time – e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor button – no function is activated.
The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please remove the item located in front of the sensor buttons.
To delete the symbol press the same button or switch the hob off and on.
Protection against overheating (induction)
If the hob is used at full power for a lengthy period, the electronics may no longer be cooled to the necessary extent at room temperature.
To ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics, the power of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically.
Should E2 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not sufficient. The reason may be that there are no openings for cooling purposes in the kitchen units or that there is no insulation. It may be necessary to check the installation of the hob.

Cookware for induction hobs
The cookware used for the induction cooking zone must be made of metal, have magnetic properties and a sufficient base area.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction current.
Magnet test: Move the magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob.
Note! When using pans suitable for induction from some manufacturers, noises may occur which are attributable to the design of these pans.
Take care when using simmering pans for the simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob, in the event of which no liability will be assumed.
How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the cookware efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots note that it is frequently the diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually larger than the base of a pot.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are preserved.
• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be damaged as a result of overheating if the cooker boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
Power settings
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use each setting.
Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with a H residual heat display.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat can be used for melting food or for keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer lights up. Risk of burns!
The ceramic hob is not directly heated in the case of an induction cooking zone; it only heats up due to the effect of heat reflected by the pan.

Cleaning and Care
GB
Cleaning and Care
• Before cleaning, switch off the hob and let it cool down.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the
on/off button
. The hob may otherwise be accidentally
switched on!
Glass ceramic hob
Important!
Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agents, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
1.
Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob.
Weekly clean
2.
Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective film which is resistant to water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob since this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surface.
Specific soiling
Heavy soiling
and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-of­pearl-type stains) can best be removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob. Proceed as outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled over
with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Burnt sugar
and melted plastic must be removed immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Grains of sand
which may get onto the hob when you peel pota­toes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of sand are left on the hob.
Changes in the colour
of the hob will not affect the function and the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt into the surface.
Shiny spots
result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult to remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggres­sive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms.

The appliance has developed a technical defect. Please call Customer service.
The pot sign appears ?
A cooking zone has been switched on and the hob is expecting a suitable pot or pan to be placed on the cooking zone (pan recognition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking zone will power be supplied.
The pot sign still appears, even though a pot or pan was placed on the hob?
The cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking or the pot or pan is too small.
Is the cookware you are using making noises?
This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot are not at risk.
Does the cooling fan still operate after it has been switched off?
This is normal since the electronic unit is being cooled down.
Is the hob making noises (clicking or cracking sounds)?
This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided.
Does the hob have tears or cracks?
There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.

Instructions for assembly
Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant (>75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can become deformed.
• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when installing the hob.
• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as minimum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams are maintained.
• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.
• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety distance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface of the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be at least 300 mm.
• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instructions for the cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.
Venilation
• Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture or built-in units must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induc­tion hob.
• If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically raised or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off device) it is likely that the cooling system does not cool sufficiently. In this case we recommend that the back wall of the bottom kitchen unit in the area of the worktop cut-out be opened and that the front transverse strip of the unit be removed over the entire width of the appliance in order to promote the circulation of air.
Installation
Important
• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a baking oven without a cross flow cooling device.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in oven.
• When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since these could become bent on the underside of the hob and prevent the drawer from being opened and closed.
• If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is sufficiently ventilated.
• The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure to heat are directly next to or under the surface.
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with the hob.
• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into con­tact with any electrical appliances.
• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (putty).
• The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with silicone sealant!
This would make it impossible to remove the
hob at a later date without damaging it.
Working surface cut-out
Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated. The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any
distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.
The glass ceramic hob is fastened with clips or with brackets.

Clips
• Drive the clips into the worktop cut-out at the intervals indicated. It is not necessary to adjust the height due to the horizontal stop motion device.
• Important! The horizontal drive of the clips must be flush with the worktop (avoid the risk of breaks).
• Position the hob according to the illustration on the left side (a), align it (b) and insert the clips (c).
• Screws may be used to fasten the clips.
Important! There is a risk of breakage if the hob is
canted or subjected to stress during installation!
Minimum distance to adjacent walls Cut-out dimension Outer dimensions of the hob Cable routing in rear wall Installation height
Bracket
• Insert the hob and align it.
• From the bottom, insert the brackets with screws in the holes provided for fastening the brackets, align the brackets and screw them tight.
• Tighten the screws with a hand screw driver only; do not use a battery-operated screw driver.
• In the case of thin worktops make sure that the brackets are correctly positioned.

Electrical connection
• The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician who is authorised to carry out such work!
• Statutory regulations and the connection specifications issued by the local power supply company must be strictly observed.
• When connecting the appliance it must be ensured that there is a device which makes it possible to disconnect it from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3mm. Line-protecting switches, fuses or contactors are suitable cut-out devices.
• When connecting and repairing the appliance disconnect it from the electricity supply with one of these devices.
• The earth wire must be sufficiently long so that if the strain relief fails, the live wires of the connecting cable are subjected to tension before the earth wire.
• Any superfluous cable must be removed from the installation area beneath the appliance.
• Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the voltage on the rating label.
• To connect the appliance, unscrew the switchbox cover on the underside of the appliance to access the terminal block. After connecting the appliance, replace the cover and secure the connection cable with the strain relief clamp.
• The connection cable must be at least H05 RR-F.
• If the excess cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
• Full protection against accidental contact must be ensured on installation.
• Attention! Incorrect connection may result in the power electronics unit being destroyed.
