OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with the accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we also consider
it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of the following
safety information.
Electrical Safety
The new appliance may only be installed and connected up by quali-
fied personnel, according to the manufacturers instructions and to the
relevant country standards.
Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by approved service
engineers. Improper repairs can cause injury or significant malfunction. If
your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force
Centre.
If your appliance malfunctions, or 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 the hob is in use. Therefore, al
ways keep small children away.
Safety During Use
This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for
commercial or industrial purposes.
Do not use the hob to heat the room.
Take care when plugging electrical appliances into mains sockets near the
hob. Connecting 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 the cooking zones off after use.
If a hot pan is placed on a cold cooking zone, and the cooking zone is hea
ted by the pan, no indication is given on the residual heat display.
Operating Instructions

Safety When Cleaning
For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pres
sure cleaner.
Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instruc
tions in this manual.
How to Avoid Damage to Your Appliance
Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans, or without pans.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust, however
it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp objects, in particular, can damage the
cooking surface if they fall on it.
Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases that are rough or
burred. Scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching may occur or the paint
damaged.
Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or scale remover do
not come into contact with the hob frame, otherwise matt spots will ap
pear.
If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact with a hot cooking
zone and then melts, remove the soiling immediately whilst still hot using a
scraper. If it cools, damage to the surface may occur on removal.
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 na
ture should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed
immediately using the scraper.
If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering
pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the pro
cess and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.

Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be thick and
as flat as possible.
•Pans with aluminium or copper bases can leave metal discoloration on the
glass ceramic surface that is very difficult or impossible to remove.
•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases that are rough or
burred. Permanent scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly in
wards (concave). They should under no circumstances
be bowed outwards (convex).
Tips on Saving Energy
You will save valuable energy if you observe the following tips:
•Always place pans on the cooking zone before
switching on.
•Soiled cooking zones and pan bases increase
the electricity consumption.
•If possible, always fit pans with a lid.
•Switch off the cooking zones before the end of
cooking to make use of the residual heat, e.g. to
keep food warm or for melting.
•The pan base and cooking zone should be the
same size. When purchasing pans, pay attention
to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers of
ten state the diameter of the top of the pan.
•Cooking times are reduced by up to 50% when
a pressure cooker is used.

Tips for cooking with and without the automatic warm up
function
The automatic warm up function is suitable for:
•dishes that start off cold, are heated up at a high setting and do not
need to be continually watched when cooking,
•dishes that are put in a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm up function is not suitable for:
•goulash and similar braised dishes that need continual turning until
browned correctly, liquid adding and then braising until cooked,
•dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liquid,
•cooking with pressure cookers,
•very large quantities of soup/stew with more than 2 litres of liquid.
General Notes:
•When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recom
mend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the
-button) and then leaving the dish to finish cooking at an appro
priate lower heat setting.
•The heat setting can be used to keep food warm.
•Take special note of the results when you use the appliance initially! You
can then decide which heat setting is the best for "your dishes" in the
"quantities you are accustomed to preparing" with "your pans". You will
then rapidly come to value the merits of the automatic function and
will feel at ease with your new cooking surface.
