(Important safety
information
Importantsafetyinformation The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote
control.
:Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
:Warning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room
if the appliance is being operated in exhaust
air mode at the same time as room air-
dependent heat-producing appliance is being
operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-
operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and discharge
the exhaust gases into the open air through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
■Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
■An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the
partial vacuum in the place where the heat-
producing appliance is installed does not
exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be
achieved when the air needed for combustion
is able to enter through openings that cannot
be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other
technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
:Warning – Risk of fire!

7Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
■Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
■Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
■The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
■Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
■Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will
save energy.
■During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the extractor hood to work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
■Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
■If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
extractor hood will need to be operated for longer.
■Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
■Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the
ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
fInduction cooking
Inductioncooking Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
■Saves time when boiling and frying.
■Saves energy.
■Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
■Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
■Cookware made from enamelled steel
■Cookware made from cast iron
■Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
You can check whether the cookware is suitable for
induction cooking.
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of
the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can find information on
positioning cookware in the section on .
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
■If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
■The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■common thin steel
■glass
■earthenware
■copper
■aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and
pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly
through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-
layer base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass
on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and
switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.

Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate.
This indicates that a hotplate is still hot. Do not touch a
hotplate while the residual heat indicator is lit up.
The following are shown depending on the amount of
residual heat:
■Display •: High temperature
■Display œ: Low temperature
If you remove the cookware from the hotplate during
cooking, the residual heat indicator and the selected
heat setting will flash alternately.
When the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat
indicator will light up. Even after the hob has been
switched off, the residual heat indicator will stay lit for as
long as the hotplate is still warm.

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
■When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
■Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
■When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
■After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
■To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
■Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
■For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.

|Flex Zone
FlexZone You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as
two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of
each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the
area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is
distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent
hotplates.
Activating
See section ~"Operating the appliance"
As a single hotplate
Using the entire cooking zone by connecting both
hotplates.
Linking the two hotplates
1. Set down the cookware. Select one of the two
hotplates assigned to the flexible cooking zone and
set the heat setting.
2. Touch the èsymbol. The display lights up.
The heat setting appears in the display for the lower
hotplate.
The flexible cooking zone is activated.
Changing the heat setting
Select one of the two hotplates in the flexible cooking
zone and change the heat setting in the settings range.
Adding a new item of cookware
Set the new item of cookware down on the cooker,
select one of the two hotplates in the flexible cooking
zone and then touch the èsymbol twice. The new item
of cookware will be detected and the heat setting that
was previously selected will be retained.
Note: If the cookware is moved to the hotplate being
used or lifted up, the hotplate begins an automatic
search and the heat setting selected previously is
retained.
Disconnecting the two hotplates
Select one of the two hotplates in the flexible cooking
zone and touch the èsymbol.
This deactivates the flexible cooking zone. The two
hotplates will now function independently.
Notes
■If the hob is switched off, and then switched back on
again later, the flexible cooking zone is reset to
function as two independent hotplates.
■To change the configuration settings for the flexible
cooking zone, refer to section ~"Basic settings".
As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the four posi-
tions that can be seen in the illustration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the three
positions that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than one
hotplate, place it starting on the upper or
lower edge of the flexible cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two induc-
tors and can be used independently of each other.
Select the required heat setting for each of the
hotplates. Use only one item of cookware on each
hotplate.
