Important Safety Instructions
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of this appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be done by a qualified
technician.
• Never use any part of the appliance for
storage. Flammable materials can ignite
and plastic items may melt or burst into
flame.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place – Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock,
or fire.

undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned
Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units – To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If
cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS
OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook-top
and surfaces facing the cook-top.
Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color.
• DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD
CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure
can cause the containers to burst.

Energy saving tips
Use
• The diameter of the base of a pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When purchasing a pan, check if the
diameter indicated refers to the base or
to the top of the pan, because the top is
almost always greater than the base.
• The base of the pan must be very thick
and perfectly flat. The base of the pan
and the cooktop must be clean and dry.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which preserves the vitamins in food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid, as the result of
overheating caused by the lack of water
could damage the pan and the cooking
zone.
• If possible, always cover pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose the right pan for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, but halfempty pan wastes energy.
• Do not use cast iron pans or those with a
rough bottom.

Cleaning and Maintenance
3 Cleaning and maintenance
3.1 Warnings
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto
the cooktop during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
which may melt (plastic or aluminum foil)
on the surface during cooking.
• Always keep the cooktop clean and do
not place any objects on the sensor
keys.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on the
steel parts or those with metallic surface
finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel or
chrome plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on the glass parts (e.g.
powder products, stain removers or
metal scouring pads). If possible, use
wooden or plastic utensils.
3.3 Weekly routine cleaning
Clean and maintain the cooktop once a
week using a standard product for cleaning
glass. Always follow the manufacturer's
directions. The silicone in these products
creates a water- and dirt-repellent
protective film. All the dirt remaining on the
film and can be removed easily. Just wipe
the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure
no detergent remains on the cooktop
surface because it will react aggressively
when the cooktop is heated up and can
change its structure.
3.4 Food stains or residues
Any marks left by the use of pans with
aluminum bases can be wiped off with a
damp cloth soaked in vinegar.
If, after cooking, burnt residues remain,
remove them, with water and dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Grains of sand which may end up on the
cooktop while cleaning lettuce or potatoes
can scratch the cooktop when you move
pans around.
Therefore, make sure that no grains of sand
are left on the cooktop.
EN
3.2 Surface cleaning
To maintain the surfaces, you must clean
them regularly after each use once they
have cooled down.
21
Page 20
Cleaning and Maintenance
Changes in color do not affect the function
and stability of the glass. It is, in fact, not a
question of changes to the cooktop
material, but simply of residues which were
not removed and therefore charred.
Shiny spots can form due to the bases of
pans rubbing on the surface, especially if
they are aluminum, and the use of
unsuitable cleaning agents. They are
difficult to remove using common cleaning
products. You may need to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Using
aggressive detergents or sliding the base of
pans on the surface can, over time, wear
away the decorations of the cooktop and
could cause spots to form.
3.5 What to do if...
The cooktop does not work:
• Check that the cooktop is plugged in
and the main switch is turned on.
• Check that there are no power outages.
• Check that the fuse has not been tripped.
If it has, replace the fuse.
• Check that the thermal-magnetic circuit
breaker of the appliance has not been
tripped. If it has, reset the switch.
• Check that the sensor keys are not
locked by the control lock.
• Check that the keys are not partially
covered by a damp cloth, fluid or a
metallic object.
The results of cooking are unsatisfactory:
• Check if the cooking temperature is too
high or too low.
The cooktop smokes:
• Allow the cooktop to cool and clean it
after cooking.
• Check that the food has not spilled and
use a larger container if necessary.
The display shows the message “E2”:
• Check that no food has accidentally
fallen on the sensor keys.
• Remove any cookware or other items
that are partially on the sensor keys.
The display shows the message “E - E4”:
• There is a technical defect. Contact
Customer Service.
The fuses or the thermal-magnetic circuit
breaker of the appliance are triggered
repeatedly:
• Contact Customer Service or an
electrician.
There are fissures and cracks on the
cooktop:
• Switch off the appliance, immediately
disconnect the power supply and call
Customer Service.
