en Preventing material damage
4
Hob covers can cause accidents, for example
due to overheating, catching fire or materials
shattering.
▶Do not use hob covers.
Food may catch fire.
▶The cooking process must be monitored. A
short process must be monitored continu-
ously.
WARNING‒Risk of burns!
The appliance and its parts that can be
touched become hot during use, particularly
the hob surround, if fitted.

aged, this is dangerous.
▶Never operate a damaged appliance.
▶If the surface is cracked, you must switch
off the appliance in order to prevent a pos-
sible electrical shock. To do this, switch off
the appliance via the fuse in the fuse box
rather than at the main switch.
▶Call customer services. →Page13
An ingress of moisture can cause an electric
shock.
▶Do not use steam- or high-pressure clean-
ers to clean the appliance.
The insulation on cables of electrical appli-
ances may melt if it touches hot parts of the
appliance.
▶Never bring electrical appliance cables into
contact with hot parts of the appliance.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!
Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid
between the saucepan base and the hotplate.
▶Always keep hotplates and saucepan
bases dry.
WARNING‒Risk of suffocation!
Children may put packaging material over
their heads or wrap themselves up in it and
suffocate.
▶Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
▶Do not let children play with packaging ma-
terial.
Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶Keep small parts away from children.
▶Do not let children play with small parts.
2 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
Rough pot and pan bases will scratch the ceramic.
▶Check your cookware.
Boiling pans dry may damage cookware or the appli-
ance.
▶Never place empty pans on a heated hotplate or al-
low to boil dry.
Incorrectly positioned cookware can cause the appli-
ance to overheat.
▶Never place hot pots or pans on the controls or the
hob surround.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall onto
the hob.
▶Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob.
Non heat-resistant materials will melt on heated hot-
plates.
▶Do not use oven protective foil.
▶Do not use aluminium foil or plastic containers.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Take advantage of the hob's residual heat. With
longer cooking times switch off the hotplate
5-10minutes before the end of cooking.
¡Unused residual heat increases energy consump-
tion.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.

fields. The electronics may overheat.
4.4 Hotplates
You can find an overview of the different activations of
the hotplates here.
If you operate the activations, the relevant displays light
up.
If you switch on a hotplate, it will switch to the setting
last selected.

Notes
¡Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are
part of the technical design. They do not affect the
functionality of the hotplate.
¡The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching
the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on
and off when at the highest setting.
¡With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the hot-
plate and the activated areas may switch on or off
at different times.
Reasons:
–Easily damaged components are protected
against overheating.
–The appliance is protected against electrical
overload.
–This achieves a better cooking result.
