Touch Control sensor fields
The appliance is operated using Touch Control sensor fields. Functions are controlled by
touching sensor fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic signals. Only touch the sensor
fields which activate a desired function. Do not cover other sensor fields.
If the control bar is touched for longer than 6 seconds, a signal sounds and the appliance
switches itself off.

WARNING!
Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some
time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .
Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of
the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

control bar is touched where the desired heat set-
ting is positioned. The heat setting is shown in the

3. Switch appliance off.
The child safety device is switched off.
The child safety device can only be switched on and off if no heat setting is set.
Overriding the child safety device
The child safety device can be switched off in this way for a single cooking session; it remains
activated afterwards.
Step Control panel Display/Signal
1. Switch appliance on
2. Touch for 4 seconds lights up
Until the appliance is next switched off, it can used as normal. After switching off the appliance,
the child safety device is active again.
After overriding the child safety device, a heat setting or a function must be set within
approx. 10 seconds, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to
bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly. The power function is activated for 8
minutes at most. After that the induction cooking zone automatically switches back to heat
setting 14.

Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a
maximum power available to them. Maximum
power is reached if all cooking zones are set to a
heat setting of 14. Two cooking zones make up a
pair (see figure).
Between these cooking zones the maximum pow-
er available is distributed by the Power Manage-
ment. If the Power function is set for a cooking zone, the additional power needed for this
cooking zone is transferred by the Power Management reducing the power of the other
cooking zone in the pair.
Example: heat setting 14 is selected on a cooking zone. The Power function is switched on
for the cooking zone paired up with it. The Power function is performed, but heat setting
14 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cooking zone of a pair exceeds
the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Management reduces the first cooking
zone that was switched on from 14 to 5, for example, and the display for this cooking zone
alternates between 14 and 5 and then remains on the current maximum of 5. (Whether
the display alternates between 14 and 5 or 14 and 3 or other values, depends on the
appliance type and the size of the cooking zone.)

Tips on cooking and frying
Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, especially in products
containing starch, may present a health risk due to acrylamide. Therefore we recommend
cooking at low temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Tips on cooking and frying 11

Cookware material Suitable
Aluminium, copper, brass -
Glass, ceramic, porcelain -
* Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to the highest heat setting is heated
within a short time.
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones. These
noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and level as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up
to a certain point. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have
a minimum diameter depending on the size of the cooking zone. Cookware with a bottom
with a diameter of less than 12cm is not suitable.
Tips on energy saving
Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.

Installation instructions
Safety information
WARNING!
This must be read!
The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be
followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The minimum distances to
other appliances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only
be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut surfaces of
the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap. When building in, protect the
underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven.
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware
may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.
16 Disposal

WARNING!
Risk of injury from electrical current.
• The electrical mains terminal is live.
• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
• Follow connection schematic.
• Observe electrical safety rules.
• Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.
• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.
• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
• Use strain relief clamp on cable.
• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains cable of
type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) must be used.
• If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (type
H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher). Please contact your local Service Force Center for further
advice.
A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the appliance to be
disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm
Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses are to
be removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and contactors.
Sticking on the seal
• Clean the worktop in the area of the cut-out section.
• Stick the one-sided self-adhesive sealing tape supplied all the way round the lower edge
of the cooking surface along the outer edge of the glass ceramic panel. Do not stretch
it. The cut ends should lie in the middle of one side. When you have cut it to length (add
a few mm), press the two ends flush up against one another.
