Operating Instructions
65
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.
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 appear.
•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 nature 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, simme-
ring pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
•Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the
process and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.

Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
0 Wipe the ceramic glass cooking surface with a damp cloth to remove
any traces left from manufacturing.
1 Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could
be damaged.

Operating Instructions
69
Using the Cooking Zones
3 When the cooking zones are switched on, they may hum briefly. This is
a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the appliance.
Control Knobs
•You can set 14 heat settings (including intermediate settings) in the
ranges 1-9.
•You can select intermediate settings in the ranges 2 to 7. They are
marked with a dot between the heat settings.
1 =lowestsetting
9 = highest setting
Cooking on the Zones
0 1. Select a high setting for heating up / browning.
2. As soon a steam starts to form or the oil is hot,
turn back to the heat setting necessary for fur-
ther cooking.
3. To stop cooking, turn back to the zero position.
2 Switch off the cooking zone approx. 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking to make use of the residual heat. By this
means you can save electricity.

Operating Instructions
70
Residual Heat Indicators
An indicator is assigned to each cooking zone. This illumi-
nates when the temperature of the cooking zone reaches
80°C
1 Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illu-
minated, there is a risk of burns.
Even when the cooking zone is switched off, the corresponding indica-
tor will remain on until the temperature falls below 80°C.
2 You can use the residual heat for melting and for keeping food warm.

Operating Instructions
71
Usage, Tables, 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
inwards (concave). They should under no circum-
stances be bowed outwards (convex).
2 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 dia-
meter of the base. Manufacturers often state the
diameter of the top of the pan
•Cooking times are reduced by up to 50% when a
pressure cooker is used.

Operating Instructions
72
Tables
Typical Heat Settings
The information given in the following tables is for guidance only. The
heat setting necessary for cooking is dependent on the quality of the
pans, and the type and quantity of the food.

Cleaning and Care
Ceramic Glass
1 Important: Cleaners must not come into contact with the ceramic
glass when hot! All cleaners must be removed with plenty of clean
water after cleaning as they may have a caustic effect when the rings
are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners, such as e.g. grill or oven sprays,
coarse scouring cleaners or pan cleaners that cause scratches.
3 Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is hand warm or
cold. By this means you will avoid soiling becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and metallic shimmering dis-
coloration with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel
cleaner, e.g. with “Stahl-Fix“or “Vitroclen“.
Light Soilage
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. No residues of cleaner must be left on
the surface.
3. Once a week, thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass surface with a
commercially available ceramic glass cleaner such as “Vitroclen“.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface with plenty of clean water and rub
dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soilage
0 1. To remove food that has boiled over or
burnt on spots, use a glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the
glass ceramic surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the scraper.
3 You can obtain glass scrapers and cera-
mic glass cleaners from your specialist
retailers.

Operating Instructions
74
1 Burnt on Soilage
0 1. Remove burnt on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other melted materials
immediately, while the hob is still hot,
using a glass scraper.
1 Important: When using the glass scraper
on the hot cooking zone, there is a risk of
burns!
2. Clean the cooking surface as normal once
it is cold.
3 If the cooking zone has cooled down
already prior to the soilage being removed, warm it up again for cle-
aning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface, which have been
caused by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However,
they do not impair the function of the cooking surface.
The Hob Frame
1 Important! Do not put vinegar, lemons or scale removers on the hob
frame, otherwise mat spots will appear.
0 1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe off and rub dry.

Operating Instructions
75
