Danger from electrical current!
Contact with live leads or components can be fatal! Follow the
safety instructions below to prevent hazards from electrical cur-
rent:
► The connection of the appliance must satisfy the relevant
standards and regulations and may only be performed by an
authorized specialist.

►Modifications or changes to the appliance are not permitted
for safety reasons.
WARNING
Risk of Burning on hot surfaces
Touching the glass-ceramic surface and/or the cookware can
lead to severe burns.
► Do not touch the glass-ceramic surface during operation.
► Touch the cookware only on heat-insulated parts or use suit-
able heat protection.
► The hobs are still hot after turning off. Before touching the
glass-ceramic surface, use the residual heat indication to
check whether the hobs are still hot.

- 23 -
WARNING
Risk of Fire!
Overheated fats and oils can ignite easily.
► Never walk away from fats and oil when heating them.
► If fat/oil ignites, never extinguish it with water. Immediately
cover with a lid or a plate. Turn off the hob and allow the
cookware to cool down.
Instructions for safe use of the appliance
• This appliance can be used by children of age 8 or older and by persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or lack of experience,
and/or knowledge, when they are supervised or have been instructed con-
cerning safe use of the appliance and have understood the resulting dan-
gers.
• Children may not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
may not be performed by children.
• To avoid danger, do not place the glass-ceramic hob under water.
• Do not heat pots without food on the glass-ceramic hob, as this can lead
to malfunctions or hazards.
• To prevent the risk of explosion, do not heat sealed food (for example, in
tins) if unopened.
• Do not place metal objects (like knives, forks, spoons, and lids) on the
hob, as they can become hot.
• Do not use the appliance in the immediate vicinity of heat sources (gas or
kerosene stoves).
• Do not store detergents or easily inammable materials under the appli-
ance.
• Turn off the appliance after use and do not rely on automatic recognition
(automatic switch off).
• Do not repair the appliance yourself, but contact an authorized specialist
or customer service.
• Do not use the glass-ceramic hob as a storage area.
• The electrical safety of the hob is guaranteed only when it is connected to
a correctly installed earthed socket. In cases of doubt, have the domestic
wiring checked by an electrician. The manufacturer shall not be liable for
damages caused by missing or short-circuited earth connections (for ex-
ample electric shock).

Avoiding damage to the appliance
• Do not place rough or uneven equipment onto the hob to prevent damage.
• Clean the glass-ceramic hob regularly to prevent build-up of dirt or its in-
gress into the appliance housing.

Description of the Functions
The glass-ceramic hob has four cooking zones heated by electrical heating
coils under the glass-ceramic plate. The power of each cooking zone can
be adjusted in nine levels. The hob is operated via touch-sensitive buttons
on the control panel. The current operating status is shown on displays. The
glass-ceramic hob can be kept clean easily because of the smooth surface.
Overheating Protection
A thermostat monitors the inside of the appliance. If maximum temperatures
are exceeded, the appliance is turned off automatically to prevent damage.
Residual Heat Indication
After the appliance has been turned off, the display of the corresponding
cooking zone shows the symbol ‘H” (residual heat) when the temperature of
the cooking zone is still high enough to cause burns when touched. When
the temperature has dropped sufciently, the residual heat indication of the
respective cooking zone goes out.
Automatic Switch off
The integrated automatic switch off automatically turns off the appliance, if
you forget to turn off the hob. The switch off times of the different power lev-
els are shown in the following table:

Requirements of the installation location
• The appliance may only be installed next to higher kitchen furniture, appli-
ances, or walls on one side.
• The appliance should not be installed directly next to refrigerators or freez-

- 27 -
ers. Their power consumption will be increased unnecessarily by the pro-
duced heat.
• A space of at least 50 mm must remain free for cooling under the entire
cut-out space for the appliance. No heat-sensitive items (base cabinet,
drawer, etc.) may be located in this space. Any existing side walls or draw-
er boxes must be removed or cut out accordingly.
• The work surface must be at least 30 mm thick and 620 mm deep, must
be level, and must be sealed on the wall side against liquid overow.
• The glass-ceramic hob must be framed on all sides by at least 50 mm of
work surface.
• The work surface, back walls, veneers, plastic coatings, and glues used
must be sufciently heat-resistant (up to 100 °C).
• The cut-out space may be max. 750 x 495 mm.
• The appliance shall be installed so that sufcient air circulation is assured
(refer to the following gure).

Installation
• Cut the work surface according to the above drawing.
NOTE
Before sawing, cover the outer edge of the cutout with wide ad-
hesive tape to prevent traces of the saber jig saw on the work
surface.
• Seal the cut surfaces with special temperature-resistant lacquer, silicon, or
cast resin to prevent swelling of the work surface from moisture.
• Place the glass-ceramic hob with the glass side facing down onto a stable
base. Use a suitable base to prevent scratching of the glass-ceramic sur-
face. The hob must not be subjected to any forces.
• Connect the connection cable to the appliance as described in the chapter
Electric Connection.
• Insert the appliance with the operation panel at the front into the cutout.
Make sure that the distance to the cutout is the same on all four sides.
• Mount the hob with the four supplied holders onto the work surface. De-
pending on the thickness of the work surface, the holders can be installed
in two ways (refer to the following gure).

Electric Connection
WARNING
Danger from electrical current!
Connection to the mains may only be performed by authorized
certied electrician in compliance with the relevant VDE regula-
tions.
► Have the electric connection performed only by an authorized
specialist.
► Before the start of work, disconnect and isolate all poles of the
input line.
Connection Conditions
• Before making the connection, conrm that the power supply conforms to
the information on the name plate on the underside of the appliance.
• The supply line must have an isolating device for all poles with a contact
gap of at least 3 mm in the house installation (fuses, circuit breaker, or
contactor).
• The appliance must be grounded via an earth conductor.
• A rubber-sheathed cable H05VV-F with wire end ferrules and correspond-
ingly rated cross section must be used as the mains connection cable
(EN60335: 3 x 6 mm2, 5 x 2.5 mm2or 4 x 2.5 mm2).
• Protection against accidental contact must be guaranteed. For increased
safety, an FI circuit breaker with a trip current of 30 mA should be connect-
ed between the appliance and the mains.
• Connection to a domestic socket (230 V/16 A) and the use of multiple
sockets is not permitted.
• The connection cable must not be bent or clamped.
Mains Connection
The appliance is designed for two connection types (refer to the following g-
ure):

flat bottom or with a slight concave
surface (the bottom expands when
heated). In this way, the heat is trans-
ferred optimally.
The bottom of the cookware should
be the same size as the hob and
should be centered on the hob.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The design of the appliance assures trouble-free operation and a long life.
Should problems still occur, the following table will help to nd and eliminate
minor problems:
Problem Possible cause Repair
The hob cannot be
turned on.
The power supply is
interrupted.
Check the distribution board of
the appliance. Use other appli-
ances to check for a power fail-
ure. When you have checked
everything and the problem still
persists, call customer service
or an electrician.
The buttons no longer
respond.
The child lock is ac-
tive.
Unlock the control panel.
The buttons react very
poorly when touched.
The control surface
is damp.
Make sure that the control pan-
el area is dry and that you use
the nger tip for operation.
Some pots and pans
make crackling noises.
This can be caused
by the design of the
cookware.
This does not indicate a fault.
If a problem still persists after following the steps above, please contact your
distributor and/or a technician.
DISPOSAL
