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.
• Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the
immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution, danger of
burns.
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not
affected.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food
or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor buttons clean since the appliance may
consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans,
tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys!
If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to
activate the OFF button.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, otherwise the
appliance switches itself off automatically. In this case the
oven automatically shuts off.
• If there are any pets in the apartment which could come near
the hob, activate the childproof lock.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation
is taking place in a built-in oven.

Operation
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.
GB
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).

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.

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.
Suitable cookware Unsuitable cookware
Enamelled steel pots with thick
base
Cast iron pots with an enamelled
base
Pots made of multi-layer stainless steel, stainless ferrite steel
and aluminium with special base
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.
Pots made of copper, stainless steel, aluminium, ovenproof glass, wood, ceramic
and terracotta
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.
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.
