Safety cut-out
Cooking surface
•If after switching on the cooking surface, a heat setting is not set for
a cooking zone within approx. 10 seconds, the cooking surface auto-
matically switches itself off.
•If one or more sensor fields are covered for longer than approx. 10
seconds, e.g. by a pan placed upon it, a signal sounds and the cooking
surface switches off automatically.
•If all cooking zones are switched off, the cooking surface automati-
cally switches itself off after approx. 10 seconds.
Control panel
3Moisture (e.g. a wet cloth) or liquid boiling over onto the control panel
immediately switches all cooking zones off.
Cooking zones
•If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time, or
if the heat setting is not modified, the relevant cooking zone switches
off automatically.

Tips on Cooking and Frying
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest
possible 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 bot-
toms can leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are
difficult or impossible to remove.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cook-
ing zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
2Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take ad-
vantage of residual heat.
2Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
