Operating Instructions

1 Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manu­facturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with
the following safety instructions.

Electrical Safety

• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be
carried out by qualified personnel.

• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved
service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your local Service Centre or your dealer.

Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the

3

event of damages.

• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa­tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of
German Electrical Engineers].

• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

Child Safety

The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always
keep small children away from the appliance.

70

Safety During Use

• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in
the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

• Do not use the hob to heat the room.

• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets

near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the
hot surface.

• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise
cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).

• Switch off the cooking zones after use.

Safety When Cleaning

• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.

• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in­structions in this manual.

71

To Avoid damaging your appliance

• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.

• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans

are empty.

• Glass ceramic is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust;
however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects
that fall on the cooking surface can damage it.

• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.

• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to
the paint may occur.

• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling
agents, are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.

• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot
cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately
with a scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be dam­aged when it is removed.

• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic
glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If some­thing of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it
must also be removed immediately using the scraper. Always use a
ceramic glass scraper with care.

72

2 Disposal

Disposing of the packaging material

• All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded
polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of
packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.

• Please follow the national and regional regulations and material
identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal
sites).

Information on disposal

• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

• You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse

disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.

• Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove the mains lead.

73

The Key Features of Your Appliance

• Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic
glass cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The par­ticularly powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the
amount of time taken for the zones to heat up.

• Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface is its
easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see sec­tion: “Cleaning and care”).

• Double-ring cooking zones: The cooking surface utilises two dou-
ble-ring cooking zones. This provides the appliance with cooking
zones of variable sizes, for instance for smaller pots, which saves en­ergy.

• Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indicator lights up if the
cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning. The re­sidual heat indicator will not illuminate if there is a power cut, even if
there is still a risk of burning..
