scraper.
6
Page 7
▪ Pots with pure copper or aluminium
bases should not be used for cooking
as they can leave behind traces that
can be difficult to clean. If the traces
are not removed immediately after
cooking with a suitable cleaning agent,
they can be permanently burned on and
therefore permanently ruin the visual
appearance of the appliance.
▪ Sliding pans and cookware across the
glass ceramic causes scratches. This
can be largely prevented by lifting pans
and cookware up and then placing
them down in position.
▪ The hob is designed to be used – signs
of use, such as scratches or the wear
and tear from pans and cookware, are
normal. The more intensively it is used,
the greater the signs of use; however,
the appliance remains in perfect working order and therefore does not give a
right of complaint. Safety is guaranteed
at all times.
▪ There is no such thing as completely
scratch-proof glass; scratches can even
develop on sapphire glass, which is
used in watches. The glass ceramic
used is of the best quality available on
the market.
Note on use
▪ Tests have shown that under normal cir-
cumstances there is no risk to cardiac
pacemaker users. If, as the user of a
cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing aid or
another type of implant), you would like
to be reassured that using the appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a competent medical
authority.
▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Contact our Customer Services.
▪ If the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly, disconnect it from the power supply immediately.
▪ If the mains cable of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
1 Safety warnings
▪ Caution: Accessible parts may become
hot when used with cooking appliances.
▪ The room must be adequately ventil-
ated when operating the range hood at
the same time as other appliances that
burn gas or other fuels.
▪ Do not flambé food next to the range
hood.
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended
when deep-frying on the cooking surface. The cooking oil in the deep-frying
appliance could overheat and catch
fire. Constantly monitor the temperature
of the cooking oil, keeping it below the
temperature at which it can catch fire.
Change the cooking oil regularly – dirty
oil catches fire more easily than clean
oil.
▪ Do not operate the individual cooking
zones of the cooking surface without a
pan or with an empty pan on them so
as to avoid damaging the appliance or
the kitchen fittings through a build-up of
heat.
▪ Ensure there is adequate ventilation
when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve optimal air extraction.
▪ Avoid a cross-current of air, which
could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking surface.
▪ If other appliances – fired by gas or
other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does not
apply to air recirculation appliances.
▪ If other firing systems are being used at
the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil or
coal fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4Pa
(0.04mbar) is not exceeded at the location of the appliance. Risk of toxic
7
Page 8
1 Safety warnings
fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air
must be guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows and
in combination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
means.
▪ When carrying out maintenance work
on the appliance, including replacing
light bulbs, cut off the electricity supply
to the appliance: remove the screw fuse
from the holder or switch the circuit
breaker off, or disconnect from the
mains supply.
▪ When cleaning the appliance make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a moderately damp cloth only. NEVER spray
the inside or the outside of the appliance with water. If water gets inside the
appliance, it can cause damage.
▪ Observe the cleaning intervals (see
page 30). Failure to do so increases
the fire hazard due to the build-up of
grease in the metal grease filters.
▪ Failure to follow the cleaning instruc-
tions may cause a fire hazard.

3.3 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The induction
coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware
from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
▪ quick reacting▪ energy-efficient
▪ finely adjustable▪ safe
▪ powerful
Cookware with a full-surface or full magnetic base is required for cooking with an
induction hob.
3.4 Flexible cooking
In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
Pans of any diameter can be used on any cooking zone. must, however, be completely covered for pan detection.
For even frying, the pan must be centred on . The diameter of the base of the
pan should not be greater than the diameter of the cooking zone.
3.5 Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable induction compatible cookware with a magnetic base.
▪ If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is used,
– the power level selected flashes alternately with .
▪ If no suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone before the pan detection time
(10minutes) elapses,
– the cooking zone switches off.
– the display changes from to «0».
– the appliance switches off after 10seconds if no other cooking zone is in use.
3.6 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base (ø 10 cm to 22 cm) is suitable for use with the induction hob.
This can be checked in the following ways:
▪ A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
▪ Only the power level set illuminates on the hob.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like.
This can damage the hob.

General notes on cookware
▸ As far as possible ensure that the dia-
meter of the base of the cookware is
the same size as the upper diameter
of the cookware.
▸ We advise against the use of cook-
ware with a pressed base as this type
of cookware does not work with all induction hobs.
▸ Some induction hobs have the melt,
keep warm and simmer functions. We
recommend using cookware without a
concave base for these functions.
▸ Handles that are loose or hollow can produce a loud whistling noise.
▸ The adherence of the cookware to the hob surface is reduced during operation, and
the cookware can therefore be moved more easily.
▸ Thick pan walls absorb the vibrations and reduce the noise level.
11
Page 12
3 Appliance description
Pan position
Position pots and pans on the hob so
that the steam is not drawn into the
range hood over the handles.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
▪ The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪ Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪ Use a well-fitting lid.
▪ Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Coated cookware
▪ For frying, do not use a higher power level than «7».
▪ Coated cookware may be operated above level «7» provided that the bottom of the
pan is completely covered with liquid.
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
Never use coated frying pans with automatic boost or PowerPlus.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any malfunction, nor
does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturbance, it can help to change the cookware.
3.7 Range hood
The range hood is designed for extracting cooking vapours and odours. It can be used
in the extraction or recirculation mode.
Extraction mode
Vapours and odours produced during cooking are extracted by a fan. The metal grease
filters clean the extracted air, which is then passed through a connecting pipe fitted with
an integrated non-return valve and through the air duct to the outside.
When in use, ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to replace the air that is
being extracted.
Recirculation mode with activated charcoal filter
Vapours and odours produced during cooking are extracted by a fan. The air is passed
through the metal grease filters and activated charcoal filter, grease particles and odours
are largely removed from the air and it is then circulated back into the room.

8 Care and maintenance
8.1 Glass ceramic surfaces
Ideally, clean the appliance when it has completely cooled down.
Burns hazard!
Always clean the hob after use. This prevents food residue from burning on. Dried-on or
burned-on food residue is harder to clean off.
Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings or surface.
Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive cleaning agents,
scouring pads, wire wool, etc. as they can damage the surface.
▸ Use only a soft cloth or sponge with water and a suitable detergent for cleaning every-
day soiling. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for use. Using a
detergent with a protective additive is recommended.
▸ Remove stubborn soiling, e.g. boiled-over milk, while still warm using a glass ceramic
hob scraper. Always follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions for use.
▸ Foods with a high sugar content, e.g. marmalade, that boil over should be removed
while still hot using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of the glass ceramic
hob could otherwise become damaged.
▸ Remove melted plastic while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The sur-
face of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
▸ Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale remover, e.g.
vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Cleaning
For good results, follow these cleaning instructions.
▸ To clean thoroughly, remove most of the soiling using a hob scraper or a special
cleaning sponge for glass ceramic hobs.
▸ Add a few drops of a suitable cleaning fluid to the cold hob surface and rub over the
surface using kitchen towel or a clean cloth.
29
Page 30
8 Care and maintenance
▸ Wipe off with a wet cloth and then polish with a dry cloth or the soft side of a suitable
cleaning sponge.
Only use the cleaning agents and methods recommended on our «Homepage».
8.2 Range hood
Take care that no water gets into the housing of the appliance! If water gets into
the housing, it can cause damage.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, etc. for cleaning, as they
can damage the surface.
Cleaning the inside
▸ Clean the inside of the appliance with a warm, damp cloth and a little detergent and
then wipe dry.
– Grease and condensate water can build up on the inside.
▸ Wash with a brush if necessary and then wipe dry with a kitchen towel.
Cleaning the grease filters
The grease filters must be cleaned at least once a month with normal use or whenever
the saturation indicator illuminates. If properly cared for, the grease filters should
provide years of service.
Do not to damage the filter cassette or grease filters when removing/inserting
them.
Removing the filter cassette
▸ Switch the appliance off.
▸ Using the handle, lift the filter cassette up and out of the cut-out in the work surface.
– The grease filters are visible.
Removing the grease filters
▸ Push the lug on the grease filter outwards.
– This releases the grease filter.
▸ Carefully tilt the grease filter and remove from the filter
cassette.

Cleaning the grease filters
▸ Clean the grease filters in the dishwasher.
▸ Select an «intensive» or «heavy» wash programme.
Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become slightly discoloured. However,
this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.
If no dishwasher is available:
▸ Clean the grease filters in the sink with hot water and detergent.
▸ Then soak the grease filters in hot water in the sink for about 2hours and finally clean
with a washing-up brush. Rinse well with clean, cold water.
– Grease filters can be used again after being cleaned.
▸ If necessary, clean around the outside of the filter cassette with a warm, damp cloth
and a little detergent and then wipe dry with a kitchen towel.
The filter cassette can be cleaned in the dishwasher together with the grease filters. Place the filter cassette in the dishwasher with the handle facing down or to
the side.
Inserting the filter cassette
▸ Reassemble in the reverse order.
▸ Ensure that the lug on the grease filter is at the top.
Resetting the saturation indicator for the grease filters
▸ In the display, touch the grease filter .
– The «Filter» menu is displayed.
▸ Reset the filter as described (see page 25).
Alternatively, the saturation indicator can also be accessed via the «Filter» menu of
the range hood.

whenever the saturation indicator illuminates. Replace all the activated charcoal filters
at the same time. The spent activated charcoal filters can be disposed of in the household waste or at a suitable recycling point.
