Cooking surface layout
The cooking surface is divided into four cooking zones. In each cooking zone un
der the glass ceramic is an induction heating element, the middle of each one
being marked with a cross on the glass ceramic surface. Cookware can be placed
on any of the cooking zones. But the cross must be completeely covered by the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be from 125210mm in diameter.

Touch Control sensor fields
The appliance is operated using Touch Control sensor fields. Functions are con
trolled by touching sensor fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic signals.
Touch the sensor fields from above, without covering other sensor fields.
1Warning! Risk of burns from heat emitted. Lengthy cooking on higher settings
with larger cookware on the front cooking zones can heat the sensor fields. Take
care when touching sensor fields.
3Cooking utensils must not be pulled across or placed on the control panel.

Residual heat indicator
1Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cook
ing zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator h.
3Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in
the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual
heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of
the electronics.

tain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting
that was originally set.
3If during the automatic warm up aa higher heat setting is selected, e.g. from

Operating the appliance14
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking
zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.
The power function is activated for 10 minutes. After that the induction cooking
zone automatically switches back to heat setting 9.
3If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to
the heat setting set previously.
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface
have a maximum power available to them.
Two cooking zones make up a pair (see fig
ure).
So that the Power function can always be
carried out, Power Management may re
duce the power of the other cooking zone
in the pair
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a
cooking zone. The Power function is
switched on for the cooking zone paired up
with it. The Power function is performed,
but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cook
ing zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Man
agement reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for
example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and
then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates be
tween 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the
size of the cooking zone.)

Cooking over two cooking zones
Large cookware can be heated with two cooking zones simultaneously. Either
the two cooking zones on the lefthand side or on the righthand side of the
cooking surface are suitable for this.
1. Place cookware centrally on the two zones.
The cookware must cover at least the middle of the two crosses.
2. Set the same heat setting for the two cooking zones (max. setting 8).
3With different cookware there can be differences in the heat distribution. Good
cooking results can be achieved with cookware with thick, flat bottoms.

3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material
3Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufactur
er.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
•... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated
within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
3Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones.
These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any
way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cook
ing zone.
Cookware with a bottom with a diameter of less than 12cm is not suitable.
