a crack running through the thickness of the material, switch the appliance off and
Page 5
1 Safety precautions
disconnect it from the mains to avoid possible electric shock.
WARNING: The appliance
and its accessible parts get hot during use. Be careful not to touch the heating ele­ments.
Under no circumstances use
a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
Do not place metal objects
such as knives, forks, spoons, lids or aluminium foil on the hob as they can get hot.
After use, switch the hob off
using the controls and do not rely on the pan detector.
WARNING: It can be danger-
ous to leave the hob unatten­ded when cooking with fat or oil, as this can lead to fires. NEVER attempt to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then carefully smother the flames with, for example, a lid or a fire blanket.
WARNING: Never store ob-
jects on the hob due to the risk of fire.
WARNING: The cooking pro-
cess should always be super­vised. Shorter cooking pro­cesses, in particular, must be supervised the entire time.
Do not operate the appliance
using an external time switch or a separate remote control system.
When hot, the display must
not be cooled down with cold liquid or a cold object.

1.4 Instructions for use

Before using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in accordance with the separate installa­tion instructions. Have a qualified fitter/ electrician carry out the necessary work.
Correct use
The appliance is designed for use in
the home for preparing food. No liability is assumed for any damage caused by improper use or incorrect handling.
Any repairs, modifications or manipula-
tions to the appliance, especially any electrically live parts, may only be car­ried out by the manufacturer, its Cus­tomer Services or a similarly qualified person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as af­fect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the in­structions given in the 'Repair service' section. Contact our Customer Services if necessary.
Use original spare parts only.Retain these operating instructions for
future reference. If you sell the appli­ance or pass it on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc­tions accompany the appliance, to­gether with the installation instructions.

Page 6
1 Safety precautions
The appliance corresponds to recog-
nized technology standards and the rel­evant safety regulations. However, proper use of the appliance is essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.
The heated surface will remain hot for
some time after it is switched off and will cool down only slowly to room tem­perature. Please allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
Caution: Burns hazard
Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. Never attempt to extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explo­sion! Smother the flames with a fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
Caution: Risk of injury
Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life
Packaging materials, e.g. plastic film
and polystyrene, can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
When hot, the display must not be
cooled down with cold liquid or a cold object.
In case of overheating, switch the hot-
plate off and allow it to cool down com­pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Un­der no circumstances use cold water to cool it down quickly.
Do not climb on to the appliance.Do not put hot cookware on the hob
frame in order not to damage the silic­one joints.
Do not cut or prepare food on the sur-
face and avoid impact with hard ob­jects. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
Take particular care that sugary foods
or juices do not get onto the hot cook­ing zones as it can damage them. If sugary foods or juices do get on to the hot cooking zones clean away immedi­ately (while still hot) with a scraper.
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.

3.4 Residual heat indicator

After a hotplate is switched off, «Residual heat» is displayed as long as there is a risk of burns.

3.5 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. Induction hobs have a quick reaction time, allow precision cooking, are powerful, energy­efficient and safe.

3.6 Flexible cooking

In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones. The hob detects cookware with a diameter of ø10cm or larger and shows which hot­plates they are on in the display. Up to five pans can be placed on the hob.

Pan detection

The hob detects the position and size of the cookware in the following situations:
The cookware is placed on the hob when it is switched on.The cookware is moved or repositioned on the hob when it is switched on.

Hotplate display

Each hotplate detected is shown as a circle or rectangle in the display. The settings for each hotplate detected can be made in the display.

Changing the position of the cookware

If the cookware is moved or lifted and repositioned, the hob detects the cookware’s new position and automatically takes over all the settings from its old position. Further inform­ation can be found in the “MemoryFunction” (see page 12) section.



3.7 Cookware

Suitable cookware

Only cookware with a full magnetic base 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.The cookware can be selected in the display and be repositioned or moved on the
hob without the «Cookware not induction-compatible» message appearing.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like. This can damage the hob.

Coated cookware

Coated cookware may be operated above power level «7» provided that the bottom of
the pan is completely covered with liquid. – The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
For frying, do not use a higher power level than «7».
Never use PowerPlus or AutoPowerPlus with coated frying pans.

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.

Noises when hotplate is switched off

The appliance can make clicking noises when the hotplate is switched off. This does not indicate any malfunction, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.

4.4 MemoryFunction

If the cookware is moved or lifted, the settings from the old hotplate are saved and auto­matically taken over for the new hotplate.

Saving settings

The hotplate display is shown when the cookware is being moved or lifted. If the cook­ware is not placed back on the hotplate within a set period of time, all the settings are cleared. The time period can be changed in “MemoryFunction” (see page 23) under “Assistance functions” in the user settings.
One item of cookware must be put down and operated before another one can be moved or lifted. The hob only saves the settings for one item of cookware.

Resuming cooking

The cooking process is resumed either immediately or after 5seconds. When the cook­ing process is resumed depends on how far the pan’s new position is from its old posi­tion.
If the old and new pan positions overlap:
– the cooking process is resumed im-
mediately.
– all the settings from the old pan posi-
tion are taken over.
If the old and new pan positions do not overlap:
– the power output to the hob is inter-
rupted.

7 Care and maintenance
Clean the appliance only when it has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!
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 it can damage them.
▸ 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.
25
Page 26
7 Care and maintenance
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.
▸ 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».
