hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the
appliance.
Selecting the heat setting
1. When boiling water/searing food, select a high
heat setting.
2. As soon as steam forms or the fat or oil is hot, set a
lower heat setting.
3. To end the cooking process, turn to the Off posi-
tion.

Tips on cooking and frying
3
Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, may present a health
risk due to acrylamide. Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not
browning foods too much.
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick
and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolourations
on the ceramic glass surface which are difficult or
impossible to remove.
Energy saving
2 Always place cookware on the cooking zone
before it is switched on.
2 If possible, always place lids on the pans.
2 Switch cooking zones off before the end of the
cooking time, to take advantage of residual
heat.
2 Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be
the same size.

Installation Instructions
1
Important! The new appliance may only be installed and connected by a registered spe-
cialist.
Please observe this instruction, otherwise the
warranty will not cover any damage that may
occur.
1 Safety Instructions for
the Installer
• A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the appliance to be disconnected
from the mains at all poles with a contact opening
width of at least 3 mm
Suitable isolation devices include line protecting
cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and
contactors.
• In respect of fire protection, this appliance corresponds to type Y (EN 60 335-2-6). Only this type of
appliance may be installed with a high cupboard or
wall on one side.
• Drawers may not be fitted underneath the hob.
• The installation must guarantee shock protection.
• The kitchen unit in which the appliance is fitted
must satisfy the stability requirements of
DIN 68930.
• For protection against moisture, all cut surfaces
are to be sealed with a suitable sealant.
• On tiled work surfaces, the joints in the area where
the hob sits must be completely filled with grout.
• On natural, artificial stone, or ceramic tops, the
snap action springs must be bonded in place with
a suitable artificial resin or mixed adhesive.
• Ensure that the seal is correctly seated against the
work surface without any gaps. Additional silicon
sealant must not be applied; this would make removal more difficult when servicing.
• Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and
under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be
knocked off the rings when doors and windows are
opened.
• The hob must be pressed out from below when removed.
13
Electrical Connection
Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of
the appliance, that is the voltage stated on the rating
plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage.
The rating plate is located on the lower casing of the
hob.
The heating element voltage is AC 230 V ~. The appliance also works perfectly on older networks with
AC220V~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the appliance to be disconnected
from the mains at all poles with a contact opening
width of at least 3 mm, eg. automatic line protecting
cut-out,earth leakage trips or fuse.
A type H05VV-F cable or one with a higher grade
must be used as the mains connecting cable.
The connection must be carried out as shown in the
diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to the appropriate connection diagram. The
earth lead is connected to terminal E. The earth lead
must be longer than leads carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws
tightened securely.
Finally, the connecting cable is to be secured with
the mains cable cleat and the covering closed by
pressing firmly (lock into place).
Before switching on for the first time, any protective
foil or stickers must be removed from the ceramic
glass surface.
1 Once connected to the mains supply check
that all cooking zones are ready for use by
briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting.
