2 Safety Instructions and Warnings
2.1 For connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in
accordance with the relevant safety
regulations.
• Connecting the appliances to the mains
and repairing and servicing the appliances
may only be carried out by a qualifi ed
electrician according to currently-valid safety
regulations. For your own safety, do not
allow anyone other than a qualifi ed service
technician to install, service or repair the
product.
• If the mains supply cable of this appliance
is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the Customer Service of the
manufacturer or by another qualifi ed person
to avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with
an external timer or an external telecontrol
system.
2.2 General information about the hob
• Never allow the induction hob to operate
unattended, as the high power setting results
in extremely fast reactions.
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up
speed of the cooking zones. Avoid boiling
the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots
overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on
cooking zones which have been switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans as
simmering water may dry up unnoticed,
resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob
for which no liability will be assumed.
• It is essential that after using a cooking
zone you switch it off with the ON/OFF key
or the Minus key and not just with the pan
recognition device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously
ignite. Always supervise the preparation
of food with fats and oils. Never extinguish
ignited fats and oils with water! Switch
the appliance off and then carefully cover
the fl ame, for example with a lid or an
extinguisher blanket.
• The glass ceramic plate is extremely robust.
You should, however, avoid dropping hard
objects onto the glass ceramic plate. Sharp
objects which fall onto the glass ceramic
plate might break it.
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass
develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage
of any other kind. Immediately switch off the
appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately
and call Customer Service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a
defect in the sensor control immediately
disconnect your appliance and call Customer
Service.
• Take care when working with home
appliances! Connection cables must not
come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fi re: never store items on the
induction hob.
• The glass ceramic plate must not be used as
depositing place when hot.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the
cooking zones. Keep everything which could
melt, such as plastics, foil and in particular
sugar and sugary foods away from hot
cooking zones. Use a special glass scraper
to immediately remove any sugar from the
glass ceramic plate (when it is still hot) in
order to avoid damaging the hob.
• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.)
must never be put down on the induction hob
since they may become hot. Risk of burning!
• Do not place combustible, infl ammable or
heat deformable objects directly underneath
the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may
become hot in the immediate vicinity of the
induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns! Non-
magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver
rings) are not aff ected.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up
unopened tins of food or packaging made of
material compounds. The power supply may
cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor keys clean since the
appliance may consider dirt to be fi nger
contact. Never put anything (pans, tea towels
etc.) onto the sensor keys!

Safety Instructions and Warnings
4
GB
• If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we
advise you to activate the OFF key.
• Hot pans and pots should not cover resp.
be moved to close to the sensor keys, since
this will cause the appliance to switch off
automatically.
• Place the pan as close to the centre of the
cooking zone as possible.
• Whenever possible, use the back cooking
zones for large pans so that the sensor keys
are not heated up too much (touch control
overheating; error message E2, touch control
cut off ).
• Activate the childproof lock if there are any
pets in the home which could make contact
with the hob.
• The induction hob may not be used when
pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in
oven.
• Never clean the glass ceramic plate with a
steam cleaner or any similar appliance!
• Make sure there are no items (e.g. cleaning
cloths) right next to the hob extractor. They
could be sucked in by the air current. Liquids
and small items must always be kept away
from the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance without grease
fi lter.
• Filter with too much fat deposits causes fi re
hazard!
• Constant supervision is essential when deep-
frying; fl ambéing is not permitted.
• A suffi cient supply of inlet air must be
provided when operating wood, coal, gas
or oil heaters requiring a chimney. The
permissible negative pressure which results
from the hood in the location of the heaters
requiring a chimney may not exceed 4
Pa (0.04 mbar) as this results in a risk of
poisoning.
• Vapour also emits moisture into the air in the
kitchen during the cooking process.
• Only a little moisture is removed from
the vapours in the convection air mode.
This is why a suffi cient supply of fresh air
must always be provided, e.g. by opening
the window or using domestic ventilation
systems.
• Always make sure that the indoor climate is
normal and comfortable (45 - 60 % humidity).
• Switch the hob extractor down to a lower
setting for around 20 minutes or activate the
automatic delayed stop function every time
the hob extractor is used in the convection
air mode. This is a standard function of the
induction hob. See the section on “Automatic
after-run”.
2.3 For persons
• These appliances may be used by children
aged 8 years and over and by persons with
physical, sensory or mental impairments
or by persons who lack experience and/
or know-how, provided they are supervised
or have been instructed in the safe used
of the appliance and have understood the
risks relating to the appliance. Children may
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
maintenance by the user may only be carried
out by children when they are supervised.
• The surfaces of the heating and cooking
zones become hot during use. Keep small
children away at all times.
• Only hob protective grids and hob covers
produced by the hob manufacturer or the
manufacturers of the hob protective grids and
hob covers authorised by the manufacturer
in the instructions for use may be used. The
use of unsuitable hob protective grids and
hob covers may result in accidents.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or
implanted insulin pumps must make sure
that their implants are not aff ected by the
induction hob (the frequency range of the
induction hob is 20-50 kHz). In this case,
always consult your doctor/cardiologist. He
will tell you whether you are allowed to use
the induction hob or not!

3.2 Worth knowing about the slider (sensorfi eld)
In principle, the slider functions the same as the touch
controls; the only diff erence is that you can put your
fi nger on the glass ceramic surface and then move it
around. The sensor fi eld recognises this movement
and raises or lowers the display setting (power level) in
accordance with the movement.
The term sensor fi eld is used to mean slider from now on.
What must be observed when operating sensor
fi elds?
Your fi nger should not be placed fl at onto the glass
ceramic surface in order to avoid adjacent keys/sensor
fi elds from reacting by mistake.
Press the sensor fi eld lightly or move your fi nger
around
You can press the sensor fi eld very lightly with your
fi nger; when this is done the setting on the display (power
level) will gradually change.
When you put your fi nger on the sensor fi eld and then
move it to the left or right, the display setting will change
progressively.
The faster the movement, the faster the change in the
display.

GB
4 Operation
4.1 The induction hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode.
An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob
generates an electromagnetic alternating fi eld which
penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-
generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer
transferred from a heating element through the cooking
pot into the food being cooked; instead the necessary
heat is generated directly in the container by means of
induction currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
• Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer
of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of
magnetisable material are required).
• Increased safety as the energy is only transferred
when a pot is placed on the hob.
• Highly eff ective energy transfer between an induction
cooking zone and the base of a pot.
• Rapid heat-up.
• The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only
heated through the pan base; food which boils over
does not stick to the surface.
• Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
4.2 Pan recognition
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan
on the zone or if the pan is too small, there will be no
transmission of power. A blinking in the power level
indicator points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the power setting will switch on and the power setting
indicator will light up. The power supply will be cut off
when the pan is removed and the power setting indicator
will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of
smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches
on, less power will be supplied.
Pan recognition limits
Cooking zone diameter
(mm)
Recommended minimal
diameter pan base (mm)
220 x 190 115
The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter;
if it is not, the induction heat will not be switched on.
Always place pots and pans in the middle of a cooking
zone in order to achieve the best effi ciency.
NOTE
The minimum diameter required to activate the pan
recognition device may vary according to the type of
pot or pan used!
4.3 Operation time limit
The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone
depends on the power level selected (see chart).
This requires that the setting of a respective cooking
zone is not adjusted during use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking
zone will switch off , a short signal will sound and an H will
appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation
time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when
the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has
expired (e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and
cooking level 9 is possible).

4.4 Other functions
If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time
(e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no
function will be activated.
The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous
signal will sound. After a few seconds the appliance will
switch off . Please remove the item located in front of the
sensor keys.
To delete the symbol press the same key or switch the
hob off and on.
4.5 Protection against overheating (induction)
If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will
not be possible to cool down the electronics system as
required at a high room temperature.
In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur
in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones
may be reduced automatically. Should E2 be displayed
frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal
room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not suffi cient.
This may occur if kitchen units have no openings. The
installation may have to be checked (see the section on
Ventilation).

Operation
9
GB
4.6 Cookware for induction hobs
Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of
metal and have magnetic properties. The base must be
suffi ciently large.
Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.
Suitable cookware Unsuitable cookware
Enamelled steel pots with
a thick base
Pots made of copper,
stainless steel, aluminium,
oven-proof glass, wood,
ceramic and terracotta
Cast iron pots with an
enamelled base
Pots made of multi-layer
stainless steel, stainless
ferrite steel and aluminium
with special base
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure
that the pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking
with induction current.
Magnet test:
Move the magnet towards the base of
your cookware. If it is attracted, you can
use the cookware on the induction hob.
NOTE
When using pans suitable for induction from certain
manufacturers, noises may occur which are attributable
to the design of these pans.
Wrong: the base of the pan is curved. The electronic unit
cannot determine the temperature correctly.
4.7 How to cut power consumption
The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new induction hob
and the cookware effi ciently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same
size as the cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently
the diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This
is usually larger than the base of a pot.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and
time required thanks to the pressure and the fact that
they are tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that
vitamins are preserved.
• Always make sure that there is suffi cient fl uid in your
pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the
cooker may be damaged as a result of overheating if
the pressure cooker boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are
cooking. A large pot which is hardly fi lled will use up a
lot of energy.
4.8 Power levels
The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at
various power levels. In the chart you will fi nd examples
of how to use each setting.

4.9 Residual heat display
The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat indicator. As long as the H lights up after
the cooking zone has been switched off , the residual heat
can be used for melting food or for keeping food warm.
CAUTION
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no
longer lights up. Risk of burns!
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of
an induction cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat
refl ected by the pan.

4.25.3 Notes on runtime
The fan motor should continue operating for another
10-20 minutes every time the hob has been used for
cooking. When the fan is switched off after having been
in operation for at least 15 minutes, an automatic time lag
at a low setting will follow for around 15 minutes.
This guarantees optimal functioning and the removal of
remaining cooking steam.
When using a recirculating air fi lter, please always
allow for a stop delay time of 10 - 60 minutes in order to
optimally remove cooking odours.
When the fan is switched on again, in rare cases the
odour molecules present in the fi lter may be combined
with steam so that they are detected again. These
remaining odours will disappear when the fan continues
to operate.
IMPORTANT
When the recirculation mode is in operation, ventilation
must be suffi cient in order for the air humidity to be
removed.

5 Cleaning and care
• Switch the induction hob off and let it cool down
before you clean it.
• Never clean the glass ceramic plate with a steam
cleaner or any similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly
over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be
accidentally switched on!
5.1 Glass ceramic plate
IMPORTANT
Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough
scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and
stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
1. Always clean the entire induction hob when it has
become soiled. It is recommended that you do so
every time the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a
little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the glass
ceramic plate with a clean dry cloth to ensure that
there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob.
Weekly cleaning
2. Clean the entire induction hob thoroughly once a
week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents.
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in
a protective fi lm which is resistant to water and dirt.
All the dirt will remain on the fi lm and can then easily
be removed. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth.
Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the
surface of the hob since this will react aggressively
when the hob is heated up and will change the
surface.
Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-
of-pearl-type stains) can best be
removed when the induction hob is
still slightly warm. Use commercial
cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled
over with a wet cloth and then
remove remaining soiling with a
special glass scraper for glass ceramic plates. Then
clean the hob again as described under Item 2.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed
immediately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper.
Then clean the glass ceramic plate again as described
under Item 2.
Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you
peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of
the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no
grains of sand are left on the hob.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface have no
eff ect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic.
These colour changes are not changes in the material
but food residues which were not removed and which
have burnt into the surface.
Shining areasare caused by wear from pan bottoms
or unsuitable cleaning agents, especially when using
cookware with aluminium bases or by unsuitable
cleaning agents. They are diffi cult to remove with
standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the
cleaning process several times. In time, the design will
wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.

5.2 Extraction
Cleaning the grease fi lters
Clean the grease fi lter in the dishwasher or in mild soapy
water at least once a month or in the event of excessive
grease deposits and/or intensive use.
Lift the extraction hood before removing the fi lter. This
makes it easy to remove the fi lter for cleaning.
NOTE
Do not place the glass cover too fi rmly. Risk of glass
breakage.
Glass cover
The fi lter can be rinsed in a dishwasher. Turning the
fi lters in the dishwasher upside down. Please use only
rinse aid that is suitable for RVS use with aluminium in
order to avoid damaging and discolouring the fi lters.
Never rinse right next to glasses or light-coloured
porcelain.
Do not operate the extractor without grease fi lters!
After rinsing the fi lter, dry it and replace it in the extractor.
Please make sure that the recessed handle is visible
after you have replaced the fi lter. If possible, wipe the
easily accessible inside of the extractor with a cloth
dampened with detergent every time you replace a fi lter,
while at the same time paying attention to protruding
parts in the inside of the extractor.
Cleaning and care of the extraction housing
The extraction housing is best cleaned every time you
clean the fi lters.
Condensation water may collect under the extraction
housing after water has boiled rapidly with the lid of the
pot removed. This is quite normal. The water should,
however, be removed and the inside of the extraction
housing cleaned.
Failure to clean the grease fi lter and the housing in
good time can lead to unpleasant odours at rest and at
the beginning of the extraction process. It is therefore
advisable to carry out this cleaning at least once a month.
It is best to clean the housing with a damp, soft cloth and
mild detergent solution.
Service
The recirculating air fi lter must remain accessible.
Replace the charcoal fi lter mats of a charcoal fi lter every
5 to 24 months. This strongly depends on the cooking
behaviour of the user (intensity and regularity).
Removable bottom
The bottom can be removed for cleaning.
Switch off the hob and extractor and remove the glass
cover and the fi lter.
Hold the bottom fi rmly with one hand from below and
open the 4 locks with the other hand. After opening,
hold the bottom horizontally and carefully remove it
downwards.
Drain any liquids and thoroughly remove any impurities.
Clean the accessible inside of the housing. Optionally,
the bottom can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
It must be reset in place after cleaning and attached with
the 4 closures.
