Safety instructions
The safety requirements oblige manufacturers to give the following
instructions:
For installation in a kitchen unit, my attached installation instructions
must be noted.
- Should any fractures, cracks, or other defects appear in my
high-grade glass-ceramic oven ceiling, please immediately
stop using my oven.
For your additional safety against any subsequent switch-
on, remove my cooker fuses or switch off the automatic
safety system. Please notify promptly the service centre
covering your area.
- If you use my oven space divider, the heated oven space
divider should only be placed in my oven complete {lower
part with heating element and cover).
- Whenyou use meto prepare your food, my hobs and/orthe oven
door become hot. Therefore keep smail children well away from
me.
- This especially applies when you are grilling or pyrolytically
cleaning my oven {if available).
- Overheated fats and oils rapidly ignite. When using me to pre-
pare food in fat or oil (e.g. chipped potatoes), please remain
nearby.
~ Do not use me to heat your room.
- Take care when connecting electrical appliances to plug sockets
in the cooker vicinity. Connection leads should not come within
reach of hot hobs/cooking zones or get trapped under the hot
oven door.
- To avoid damage to my glass-ceramic surface, you should not
use my cooking area as a storage area.
- Donotplace any hot frying pans or saucepans on the edgeof
the cooking area as this can cause damage.
- Never cover my cooking surface with protective foil. This can
cause damage.
- The glowing red heat of my cooking zones can shine out over the
edge of the marked zone, according to the angle at which you
look at it.
~ My glass-ceramic cooking area (where featured) is extremely
resistant, though not unbreakable. It may be damaged by any
sharp or hard objects falling on to the cooking surface.
Should any fractures, cracks, or other defects appear, | must be
separated from the mains supply by the device required on the
fixed wiring side. Before doing so, please switch my 4 hob
switches to 0.
- Never line my oven floor with aluminium foil and never place any
pan, pot, etc. on my ficor, since the oven enamel will otherwise be
damaged by the heat congestion caused.

The user protection feature is intended to protect my hobs
against any unauthorized use (child safety through two inde-
pendent operations).
3 hours after the last operation of a hob switch, all hobs are
automatically switched off.
Owing to the safety precautions noted, please proceed as fol-
Jows when using my hobs:
~- Press user protection button. Red pilot lamp comes on.
- Switch on required hob(s) immediately thereafter.
Important: If you should ever accidentally not keep to the sequence
of firstly pressing the user protection button and secondly switching
‘on the hob, please turn the hob switch back to “O” and start again.
Ifthe cooking cycle is ever to last for more than 3 hours, you can turn
one of my hobs (preferably one of the ones you are notusing) onand
off again quickly. This extends the cooking time by a further 3 hours,
It is best to do-this after a certain time, e.g. after an hour or two.
When cooking is to be ended, switch my hob switch{es) to the zero
position,

Hobs
Depending on the kind of cooking hob | am fitted with, you will find
different kinds of hotplates:
@ High-speed hob
My cast-iron hotplate differs from ordinary cast-iron hotplates
because it is more efficient, and thus can cook more quickly. It is
marked by a small red dot — this disappears after a short time
through being constantly warmed up and cleaned. It is adjusted in
the usual way.
em
The following are arranged under the extremely temperature-resis-
tant glass-ceramic cooking hob according to model:
lf Single-ring cooking zones
This cooking zone is adjusted solely by means of the switches fitted
in the switch panel.

lf Double-ring cooking zones
The second ring ofthe cooking zone can only be turned on when the
relevant switch on the switch panel is also on, The touch-button (6)
in the glass-ceramic hobis pressed lightly and the red control lamp.
comes on. Both heating circuits are adjusted and turned off by the
switch on the switch panel.
@ Frying zone
My heating is arranged in a circle and is controlled by the relevant
switch on the switch panel, while the heating for the roasting zone is
turned on by lightly touching the touch-button {in the giass-
ceramic hob. Both heating circuits are tumed off by means of the
switch in the switch panel.

For each of my cooking zones there are five symbols with control
lights that show at what setting the various cooking processes can
be done.
The symbols signify:
$35$ Heating up, frying at
high temperature
SL Frying
ww Steaming/Boiling
TeS Parboiling
eS Melting
Please also foliow the table on setting the automatic cooking zones.
@ Residual heat indicator
For each of my glass-ceramic cooking zones there is a control light,
onthe left or the right in the glass-ceramic hob, which lights up ifthe
cooking zone is hot. As soon as the cooking zone cools down the
light goes out.
1@ Escape of steam and fumes from the oven
The fumes from my oven can escape through the openings at the
back of my hob. You will find more details in the section on fume out-
let from the oven.
@ Induction hob
The pot or pan bottom is directly and very rapidly heated by an elec-
tromagnetic alternating field.

The better the pot, the beiter the cooking result.
@ You can tell good cookware by the pot bottom and not by the
material from which the pot is made.
| The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible. Itshould also
not be rough {@s e.g. on cast-iron pots), since scratches arise
when the pot is shifted.
fl Use high-sided pots for dishes requiring plenty of liquid, and
the nothing can boil over.
™@ Prevent enamelled pots or frying pans from boiling dry. Their bot-
toms can be destroyed if this happens and then they scratch the
cooking area when they are shifted. Pots and frying pan bottoms
with sharp edges also have a scouring effect.
1 The pot bottom and the hob must be of equal size. Please make
sure that your cookware stands in the centre of the hob.
My hobs should always be clean, since soiled hobs and cook-
ware bottoms not only damage my glass-ceramic cooking area
(if available), but aiso increase power consumption.
Make good use of the afterheat by switching off the hob just before
cooking ends.

After switching on a cooking zone, you will hear me buzz. This is a
feature of my radiant heating system not in any way impair my ope-
ration!
Never place food in aluminium foil or plastic containers on my hot
cooking area, since that will have an extremely detrimental effect on
the glass-ceramic cooking suriace!
You can also use my automatic hobs without the automatic system.
You should then switch me on only as far as setting 9.
When starting to fry, set the switch referring to the hob to 9 until the
fatis hot. Then place the food to be fried in the pan and turnthe switch
back to 6 or higher as necessary.
When starting to boil, setthe switch referring to the hobto 9. To sim-
mer, turn the switch back to 1 to 5 as necessary.
Intermediate settings, e. g. 3. (or * 2 only with electronic indicator),
are at all times possible.
When starting to boil within the 1-8 region {not on setting 9), my
automatic system relieves you of the need to switch over to my sim-
mering region ifyou turn the knob clockwise beyond setting 9 as far
as letter A (the pilot lamp monitoring the boiling-up sequence
comes on - if available) and then setit back to the required simmer-
ing region (1-8).
My automatic system selects for you the boiling-up time at the
start of cooking and then itself switches back the power corre-
sponding to the simmering setting selected.
The automatic system and/or the hob is switched off by iurning to 0.
The follawing table shows you examples of the suitability of switch
settings 1 to 9.

Oven
Before using for the first-time, please note the section describing
precieaning of the oven.
You can operate my oven with either traditiona! top and bottom heat,
hot air, or in two (three) grilling modes, exactly as you wish and
according to your recipe, since | have the practical type of conver-
tible oven. You will find more deiailed instructions under the
methods of preparation and the safety instructions for the user.
My fume outlet in the cooking area (see illustration) can be opened
or closed with the push-button. Please press my push-button only
when the hobs are not operational to exclude the possibility of burn-
ing. Should you operate my push-button when the hobs are hot,
however, we recommend you to use an object such as &. g. a Cook-
ing spoon to open or close.
This enables you to control the humidity in my oven during bak-
ing or roasting and thus save yourself energy or even the need
to add water.
Closed: Push-button released, red edge visible
Open: Push-button pressed
During preheating and during the first third of the time when baking
bread or breadrolls, you can close my fume ouilet to obtain better
rising and browning.
During roasting, you should aiso keep my fume outlet closed, unless
you want to achieve a crispy meat surface, as e. g. during the grilling
‘of poultry.
Piease follow the tables on baking and/or roasting.
