Tips on cooking and frying
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
discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.
Tips on cooking and frying 11

Energy saving
Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place lids on the pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual
heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.

Installation instructions
Installation instructions
WARNING!
This must be read!
The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be
followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The minimum distances to
other appliances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only
be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut surfaces of
the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap. When building in, protect the
underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven.
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.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from electrical current.
• The electrical mains terminal is live.
• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
• Follow connection schematic.
• Observe electrical safety rules.
• Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.
• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.
• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
• Use strain relief clamp on cable.
• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains cable of
type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) must be used.
• If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (type
H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher). Please contact your local Service Force Center for further
advice.
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.
Sticking on the seal
• Clean the worktop in the area of the cut-out section.
• Stick the one-sided self-adhesive sealing tape supplied all the way round the lower edge
of the cooking surface along the outer edge of the glass ceramic panel. Do not stretch
it. The cut ends should lie in the middle of one side. When you have cut it to length (add
a few mm), press the two ends flush up against one another.
