Safety Instructions
Before first use, you should carefully read
the installation and connection instruc-
tions.
These hob models may be installed in the
same kitchen furniture units as %(.2
brand ovens.
For your safety, installation should be
carried out by an authorised technician
and should comply with existing installa-
tion standards. Likewise, any internal work
on the hob should only be done by BEKO's
technical staff, including the change of the
flexible supply cable of the appliance.
Safety warnings:
If the ceramic glass breaks or
cracks, immediately unplug the stove-
top to avoid electric shocks.
This appliance is not designed to
work with an external timer (not built
into the appliance) or a separate remo-
te control system.
Do not steam clean this device.
The device and its accessible
parts may heat up during operation.
Avoid touching the heating elements.
Children younger than 8 years old must
stay away from the stovetop unless
they are permanently supervised.
This device may solely be used by
children 8 years old or older, people
with impaired physical, sensory or
mental abilities, or those who lack
experience and knowledge, ONLY when
supervised or if they have been given
adequate instruction on the use of the
device and understand the dangers its
use involves. User cleaning and main-
tenance may not be done by unsupervi-
sed children.
Children must not play with the

these may catch fire. Never try to extin-
guish a fire with water! in this event dis-
connect the device and cover the flames
with a lid, a plate or a blanket.
Do not store any object on the
cooking areas of the stovetop. Prevent
a possible fire hazard.
Do not place metal objects, such as
knives, forks, spoons or lids on the surfa-
ce of the hob, as they may get very hot.
The induction generator complies
with all current European standards.
Nonetheless, we recommend that peo-
ple with heart devices, with such as
artificial pacemakers, consult with their
doctor or, if in doubt, refrain from using
the induction zones.
It is advisable not to use the
induction hob during the pyrolitic clea-
ning function in the case of the pyrolitic
ovens, due to the high temperature rea-
ched by this appliance.
When finished, turn off the coo-
king zone by using the touch controls.
Otherwise an undesired operation
could occur if a pan is accidentally pla-
ced on the cooking zone during the
next three minutes. Avoid possible
accidents!
The size of the base of the cook-
ware to be used should be large
enough to completely cover the coo-
king zone drawn on the glass. Depen-
ding on the type of cookware (material
and size), the induction zones may
work with smaller cookware.
Please remember that in order to
work, the induction elements need to
be used with cookware that has a ferro-
magnetic base (material attracted by a
magnet).
Always use cookware with a flat,
smooth base on the induction ele-
ments. Using cookware with a defor-
med, concave or curved base can lead
to overheating that can damage the
glass or the cookware.
Please take into account that the
cookware that you use can greatly
affect the how well the induction ele-
ment works. You may find cookware on
the market that, although marked as
being suitable for induction hobs, does
not work very well or is not easily
recognised by the induction element
due to the little amount or poor quality
of the ferromagnetic material that the
cookware has in its base.
The appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervised or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a responsible person for
their safely.
Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service agent or a similarly quali-
fied person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance.
Metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the hotplate since they can
get hot

INSTALLATION AND SETUP SHOULD
BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED
TECHNICIAN ACCORDING TO
CURRENT INSTALLATION STANDARDS.
Positioning the hobs
To install these models, an opening with
the dimensions shown in figure 1 should
be cut into the unit's worktop.
The system for fixing the hob is intended
for use with kitchen units with a thickness
of 20, 30 and 40 mm.
The minimum distance between the surfa-
ce of the hob and the lower part of the kit-
chen unit or the hood located above the
hob should be 650 mm. If the hood's insta-
llation instructions recommend that the
gap is greater than this, you should follow
this advice.
The unit where the hob and oven will be
located should be suitably fixed.
INSTALLATION WITH A CUTLERY
DRAWER OR LOW CUPBOARD
If you wish to install a silverware drawer
under the countertop, you should install a
cover or spacer, located at least 60 mm
from the back of the countertop, to avoid
blocking the countertop fans with objects
placed in the drawer. In this way, potential
risks can be avoided due to inflammable
objects that may be stored in the drawer.
INSTALLATION WITH A THERMOVENTI-
LATED OVEN UNDER THE HOB
The oven should be installed according to
the corresponding manual.
If the countertop is installed with an oven
underneath, it is recommended that the
same be a %(.2 brand thermo-ventilated

oven, to ensure good operation of the
countertop.
A space should be left in front of the furni-
ture for evacuation of hot air. The opening
should be at least 5 mm high. Its length
should be the width of the furniture.
An opening of 20 mm should be made in
the back part of the furniture to allow inta-
ke of cold air (see figure 1).
When hobs are handled before
being installed, care should be taken in
case there is any protruding part or
sharp edge which could cause injury.
When installing units or applian-
ces above the hob, the hob should be
protected by a board so that the glass
cannot be damaged by accidental
blows or heavy weight.
The glues used in manufacturing
the kitchen unit and on the decorative
laminates and on the laminates that are
part of the worktop surface should be
made to tolerate temperatures of up to
100ºC.
%EK2does not assume any res-
ponsibility for any malfunction or
damage caused by faulty installation.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GUA-
RANTEE DOES NOT COVER THE
GLASS IF IT SUFFERS A VIOLENT
BLOW OR IF IT IS USED IMPROPERLY.
Fixing the hob
When the gap has been properly sized,
the gasket should be put on the lower side
of the glass. Silicone should not be
applied between the glass and the unit
worktop because if it becomes neces-
sary to remove the hob from its posi-
tion, the glass could break when trying
to detach it.
To attach the cooking countertop to the fur-
niture, a set of clamps are supplied that
should be fastened in the existing holes in
the lower part of the framework. There are
two possible ways to position the clips, as
can be seen in figure 2.
Depending on the thickness of the worktop,
it is possible to use the self-tapping screws
that are provided as a fastening accessory
by putting them into the clip's round hole.
This hole will be threaded as the screw is
inserted into it. This should be done before
fixing the clip to the worktop.
Connecting the electricity
The electric connection is made using an
omnipolar switch or plug, where accessi-
ble, that is suitable for the intensity to be
tolerated and that has a minimum gap of 3
mm between its contacts. This will ensure
disconnection in case of emergency or
when cleaning the hob.
The connection should include correct ear-
thing, in compliance with current norms.
If the flexible supply cable fitted to the
appliance ever needs to be changed, it
should be replaced by %(.2's official tech-

nical service.
The input cable should not be in contact
either with the body of the hob or with the
body of the oven, if the oven is installed in
the same unit.

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
The first time the cooktop is plugged in (or
after a power outage), the Block function
will appear as activated (pilot light 10 on).
In this case, you must deactivate the block
function in order to turn the cooktop on. To
do this, push sensor (6) until pilot (10)
turns off.
1Touch sensor (1) for at least one
second.
Touch Control is now activated and a 0
appears in all power indicators (3). If a
cooking zone is hot, the corresponding
indicator will show an Hand a 0alternati-
vely.
Once the Control is on, you must activate
a plate within 10 seconds, otherwise the
Touch Control will automatically turn off.
While the touch control is activated, it can
be disconnected at any moment by tou-
ching the general on/off sensor (1)
even if it has been blocked (see section
"Blocking cooktop sensors"). Sensor
(1) always has priority in disconnecting the
touch control.
ACTIVATING PLATES
Once the Touch Control is activated with
sensor (1), any plate can be turned on
by following these steps:
1Select the plate by using the correspon-
ding sensor (3). In other words, press
with your finger the NUMBER INDICA-
TOR. If the glass is hot, the said indica-
tor will go from showing an Hto showing
level 0. The decimal point to the bottom
right of the number lights up, indicating
that the plate has been selected.
2Use the cursor slider (2) to choose a
cooking level between 0and 9.
As long as the plate is selected, in other
words, with the decimal point lit up, its
power level can be modified.
TURNING A PLATE OFF
A plate can be turned off by decreasing its
cooking level to 0. In order to do this, the
plate must have been previously selected
(decimal point lit up).
Once a plate has been turned off, an Hwill
appear on the corresponding power indi-
fig. 4
61401274_GB_DE_Maquetación 1 30.05.2012 14:31 Page 18

cator if the glass surface of the cooking
area reaches an elevated temperature.
Burn risk exists. When the temperature
decreases, the indicator turns off (if the
cooktop is disconnected), or it will show a
0if it is still on.
TURNING ALL PLATES OFF
All plates can be simultaneously discon-
nected by using the general on/off sensor
(1). All plate indicators will turn off.
Pan detector
Induction cooking zones have a built-in
pan detector. This way, the plate will stop
working if there is no pan present or if the
pan is not suitable.
The power indicator will show a symbol to
designate "there is no pan" if, while the
zone is on, no pan is detected or the pan
is not suitable.
If a pan is taken off the zone while it is run-
ning, the plate will automatically stop
supplying energy and it will show the
symbol for "there is no pan". When a pan
is once again placed on the cooking zone,
energy supply will resume at the same
power level previously selected.
The time for pan detection is 3 minutes. If
a pan is not placed within this time period,
or the pan is unsuitable, the cooking zone
shuts off. The power indicator will go from
showing the symbol "there is no pan" to
showing 0.
When finished, turn off the coo-
king zone by using the touch controls.
Otherwise an undesired operation
could occur if a pan is accidentally pla-
ced on the cooking zone during the
next three minutes. Avoid possible
accidents!
Blocking cooktop sensors
BLOCK FUNCTION
With the Block Function, you can block the
other sensors, except for the on/off sensor
(1), in order to avoid undesired opera-
tions. This function is useful as a childpro-
of safety.
To activate this function, touch sensor
(6) for at least one second. Once you have
done so, the pilot (10) turns on indicating
that the control panel is blocked. To deac-
tivate the function, simply touch sensor
(6) again.
If the on/off sensor (1) is used to turn
off the appliance while the block function is
activated, it won't be possible to turn the
cooktop on again until it unblocks.
Stop Function
This function puts the cooking process on
pause. The timer will also be paused if it is
activated.
Activating the Stop function
Touch the Stop sensor (7) for one
second. The pilot (11) lights up and the
power indicators will show the symbol
to indicate cooking has been paused.
Deactivating the Stop function
Touch Stop sensor (7) again. The pilot
(11) turns off and cooking resumes under
the same power and timer settings that
were established before the pause.
Heat Sustainment Function
This function makes it possible to keep
warm food that is in the pan placed on the
61401274_GB_DE_Maquetación 1 30.05.2012 14:31 Page 19

cooking area.
This function is independently available for
each one of the plates.
To activate it, select the plate. The decimal
point will light up. Then push sensor
(13). The symbol "A" will appear in the
indicator and the corresponding pilot (8)
will turn on.
To disconnect this function, all you have to
do is modify the power of the plate or
directly turn it off.
Power Function
This function supplies "extra" power to the
plate, above the nominal value. Said
power depends on the size of the plate,
(see values specified with * in the presen-
tation section), with the possibility of rea-
ching the maximum value permitted by the
generator.
1Select the desired plate with the corres-
ponding sensor (3). The decimal point
will light up.
2On the cursor Slider, push directly on
position (5). The power level indica-
tor will show the symbol P, and the plate
will start to supply extra power.
The Power function has a maximum dura-
tion as specified in table 1. After this time,
the power level will automatically adjust to
9.
Boil Control Function
This innovative function is of an enormous
help if you want to cook pasta, rice, eggs,
or boil any kind of food. This function
allows you to perform this cooking method
"almost" automatically.
This function is available only in the plates
where this symbol appears
Pot requirements
For properly using boil control, the pot
must have the following characteristics:
- Bottom size as close as possible to the
diameter of the plate.
- NO COVER.
- Filled more than halfway of its capacity
with room temperature water (never
use lukewarm or hot water).
Not fulfilling these requirements will result
in inadequate control of boiling.
WARNING: do not use this func-
tion for cooking methods other than
boiling water. Never use oil. It can over-
heat and create flames.
Activating the function:
Select the proper plate. The decimal point
lights up.
Push sensor (12). An Awill appear on
the plate indicator and the pilot (9) will turn
on. In the timer for this plate, a moving
segment will appear which indicates that
the system has started to monitor cooking.
When the system detects that it is about to
boil, an initial beep will go off. Take this
time to prepare the food you want to boil or
cook.
After 30 seconds, a second beep will go
off. If you haven't done it already, now is
time to put the food into the pot.
After the second beep, the system will acti-
vate the timer as a chronometer so that
you can control how long the food has
been boiling.
61401274_GB_DE_Maquetación 1 30.05.2012 14:31 Page 20

A few seconds after the chronometer is
activated, a third beep will go off indicating
that, from this moment on, the system will
reduce the energy supplied in order to
maintain a gentle and steady boil. The
chronometer will remain active until coo-
king has finished.
If desired, the chronometer can be deacti-
vated and you can set a time for the count-
down to occur and the plate to automati-
cally turn off (see section Timer Function).
Deactivating the function
You can cancel the function at any time by
simply turning off the plate or modifying
the power level.
Safety shut off
MAXIMUM TIME RUNNING
If one or more plates have been acciden-
tally left on, they will automatically shut off
after a certain amount of time which starts
to count from the moment the last action
was taken on the plate. (See table 1).
When the "safety shut off" has occurred,
the power indicator of the corresponding
plate will show an Hif there exists a burn
risk. Otherwise, a 0will be shown.
COVERED SENSORS SAFETY
The touch control is equipped with a func-
tion to detect when an object (pan, cloth or
certain liquids) covers the panel sensors
for more than 10 seconds.
This, therefore, prevents the object from
being able to activate or deactivate a plate
without you realising it.
When the touch control detects that an
object is covering the sensors, it starts to
beep until the object covering the control
panel is removed. If the touch control was
on, it automatically shuts off for safety rea-
sons.
If after a few minutes the object covering
the sensors has still not been removed,
the beeping will cease.
Keep in mind that this safety
function turns on even when the touch
control is off!
Take precaution and do not place
objects on the touch control!

Timer function
(countdown clock)
This function facilitates cooking given that
you don't have to be present: You can set
a timer for a plate, and it will turn off once
the desired time is up.
For these models, you can simultaneously
program each plate for durations ranging
from 1 to 90 minutes.
Setting a timer on a plate
To set a timer on a plate, you should take
the following steps.
1Select the desired plate by directly tou-
ching its corresponding indicator (3) and
choose a power level with the cursor sli-
der (2).
2The two digits of the timer for the plate
selected will turn on, showing "- - ". You
can set the amount of time desired with
sensors (14) and (15).
3After a few seconds, the countdown
begins. When there is less than one
minute left, the clock will begin to count
down in seconds.
Once the countdown has finished, the
timed plate will turn off and a series of
beeps will be heard. They can be stopped
by touching either of the sensors (14)
or (15) associated with the
clock.
Disconnecting the clock
If you wish to stop the clock before the pro-
grammed time is up, this can be done at
any time by simply adjusting its value to '--'.
1Select the plate you wish to stop the
timer on by directly touching its corres-
ponding indicator (3).
2Adjust the value of the clock to "--" by
using the "less" sensor (14). This can
also be done more quickly by pushing
the "less" and "more" sensors (14)
and (15) at the same time.
Total Zone Function
By using this function it is possible to
achieve that two plates, as shown in the
screen, function at the same time, both for
selecting a power level as well as for acti-
vating the timer function.
To activate this function you should press
the sensor or (17). Upon doing so,
the decimal points (16) of the plates light
up and both turn to power level 5.
The timer (4) of the lower plate will turn off,
and from then on it will be the upper one
that indicates the values of the clock for
both.
To deactivate this function you should
press the sensor again or (17).
Overheating safety
Induction zones are protected against the
electrical system overheating, which could
damage it.
The internal fan automatically turns on and
off depending on the temperature of the
electronic system. Therefore, when the fan
is on and you turn the cooktop off, the fan
will continue to run for a few minutes in
order to cool the electronics.
61401274_GB_DE_Maquetación 1 30.05.2012 14:31 Page 22

Power surges in the network
The touch control can bear cer-
tain variations in voltage supply admis-
sible by electric distribution networks.
Abnormally high power surges can
cause the control system to break
down (just like with any other electric
device).
Suggestions and
recommendations
To get the best use out of your hob, you
should follow the following suggestions
and recommendations:
* Utilize receptacles with completely flat
bottoms, given that the larger the con-
tact surface is between the glass and
the receptacle, so much the better will
the plate performance be. In order to
prevent denting the bases of the cook-
ware, recommend using cookware with
thick bases. Figure 5 shows how cook-
ware that is dented or concave has a
smaller contact surface.
* Make sure that cookware is well-centred
on the drawings that indicate the heating
zone.
* Dry the bases of cookware before pla-
cing them on the hob.
* Do not leave any plastic object or utensil
or any aluminium foil lying on the vitro-
ceramic hob.
* Do not drag over the glass cookware with
corners or edges that could damage the
glass.
* The glass will withstand bangs from large
cookware that does not have sharp
edges. Please be careful with impacts
from small, sharp utensils.
* Please be careful not to let sugar or pro-
ducts containing sugar fall on the glass,
since they may react with the glass
when the glass is hot and damage the
surface.
If you cannot turn off the heating
element due to an overflow of creams,
soups or similar foods, use a wet rag to
remove the food from the touch control
panel and keep the rag on the on/off
sensor button so that the touch control
panel turns off.
Cleaning and care
To maintain the vitroceramic hob in good
condition, it should be cleaned with suitable
products and instruments. The vitroceramic
hob should be cleaned each time it is used,
when it is either lukewarm or cool. This
makes cleaning easier and prevents dirt from
accumulating through repeated use.
Never use aggressive cleaning products or
products that can scratch the surfaces (the
table below shows various common pro-
ducts that may be used). The hob should
also not be cleaned using steam-based
appliances.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR THE
GLASS
The degree of soiling should be taken into
account when cleaning the glass, and the
instruments and products used should vary
depending on how dirty it is.

Light soiling
Light, non-sticky, soiling can be cleaned with
a damp cloth and a mild detergent or warm,
soapy water.
Heavy soiling
Serious spots and grease should be clea-
ned using a cleaning agent especially
made for vitroceramic hobs following the
manufacturer's instructions.
Sticky stains that have been burned in can
be removed by using a scraper with a
razor blade.
Rainbow colouring: caused by cookware
that has dry bits of grease on its base or
when grease gets between the glass and
the cookware while cooking. It can be
removed from the surface of the glass
using a nickel scouring pad with water or
with a special vitroceramic cleaner.
Plastic objects, sugar or food with a high
sugar content that are melted onto the hob
should be removed immediately while hot
by using a scraper.
When the colour of the glass changes
This does not affect the effectiveness or
stability of the hob and is generally caused
by inadequate cleaning or by poor-quality
cookware.
Metallic sheens are caused by metal cook-
ware sliding over the glass. They can be
removed by thorough cleaning with a spe-
cial, vitroceramic cleaning agent, although
it may be that the cleaning needs to be
repeated more than once.
Worn trim is the result of using abrasive
cleaning products or cookware with une-
ven bases which wear down the seri-
graphy.
Attention:
Take great care when using the
glass scraper. The blade can cause
injury!
If the scraper is used inappropria-
tely, the blade can break and a fragment
can become incrusted between the
lateral trim and the glass. If this hap-

pens, do not try and remove the frag-
ments with your hands; carefully use
tweezers or a knife with a sharp tip (See
fig. 6).
Only use the blade on the vitroce-
ramic surface. Make sure that the body
of the scraper does not come into con-
tact with the glass, since this could
scratch the vitroceramic glass.
Only use blades that are in perfect
conditions. Replace the blade immedia-
tely when it shows any signs of wear.
After using the scraper, pull in and
protect the blade. (See fig. 7)
Cookware may become stuck to
the glass if something has melted bet-
ween the base of the cookware and the
glass. Do not attempt to unstick the
cookware when it is cold - you could
break the glass ceramic.
Do not stand or lean on the glass.
It could break and cause injury. Do not
keep any objects on the glass.
