Safety instructions

Connection and operation

• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.

• Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and servicing the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.

Concerning the hob

• Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as the high power setting (power max.) results in extremely fast reactions.

• 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 as simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob for which no liability will be assumed.

• It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off with the ON/OFF key and not just with the pan recognition device.

• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the pan and switch off the cooking zone.

• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might break it.

• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass ceramic hob, 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 Customer Service.

• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.

• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.

• Do not put aluminium 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 hot cooking zones. 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! Risk of burns! Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) will not be 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 keys 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 key.

• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will cause the appliance to switch off automatically.

• Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home which could make contact with the hob.

• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in oven.

Concerning persons

•Caution!

People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must only be allowed to operate it under supervision. Small children must always be kept away from the hob. Never allow them to play with the appliance.

• Attention!

The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Keep small children away at all times.

• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps must make sure that their implants are not affected by the induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is 20-50 kHz).

Operating the hob with the sensor keys

The ceramic glass hob is operated with touch control sensor keys. The sensor keys are operated as follows: lightly touch a symbol on the surface of the ceramic glass plate. The touch control sensor key will then be indicated as “key”.

ON/OFF key (8)

This key is used to switch the respective cooking zones on and off.

Minus key / Plus key (9)

These keys are used to set the cooking levels. The Minus key reduces the setting and the Plus key raises it.

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; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.

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 use. If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone

will switch off, a time-limited buzzer will sound and (automatic stop) will appear in the display.

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.

– Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking

zone and the base of a pot. – Rapid heat-up. – The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated

through the pan base; 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 and the power setting display will blink.

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 blink.

If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power will be supplied.

The pan recognition limit (minimum diameter of the base of a pan) is still switched on, the diameter is 100 mm and for some models it is visible as an inner circle on the cooking zones.

Important!

operation time limit device, (automatic stop) will appear in the display. In order to acknowledge, press any key of the respective cooking zone. This will be confirmed when a double signal sounds.

Other functions

If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will be activated. After 10 seconds the electronic system will switch off and dashes will appear. Exception: lock/child safety device.

If you continue to press a sensor key after having set the highest cooking setting, the electronic system switch off automatically after 10 seconds.

The appliance does not automatically switch on again after a power failure.

The hob is switched off if the electronics become overheated. A row of dashes or F7 will appear.

Protection against overheating

If the hob is used at full power for a lengthy period, the power electronics may no longer be cooled to the necessary extent at room temperature.

In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically.

If, during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, a row of dashes or F7 will appear in the cooking setting display, the cooling is probably 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.
