Operating Instructions
1 Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manu-
facturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with
the following safety instructions.
Electrical Safety
•The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved
service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your local customer center or your dealer.
3 Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the
event of damages.
•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa-
tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of
German Electrical Engineers].
•If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always
keep small children away from the appliance.
Safety During Use
•This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in
the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
•Do not use the hob to heat the room.
•Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets
near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the
hot surface.
•Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise
cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
•Switch off the cooking zones after use.

5
Safety When Cleaning
•For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.
•Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in-
structions in this manual.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
•Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.
•The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is susceptible to
knocks. Please be careful when moving pots and pans around.
•Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or
pans on them.
•Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature
changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly
hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
•Do not use pots made of cast iron, or which have damaged bases
with rough edges or burrs. Moving these around may cause
scratches.
•If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone
and melts, remove immediately, while still hot, using a kitchen
scraper. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when re-
moved.
•Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, for example, artificial materials, aluminium foil, or cooking
wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs are melting on the ce-
ramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immedi-
ately, using a kitchen scraper.

2 Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
•All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded
polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of
packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.
•Please follow the national and regional regulations and material
identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal
sites).
Information on disposal
•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse
disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.
•Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove the mains lead.

The Key Features of Your Appliance
•Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic
glass cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The par-
ticularly powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the
amount of time taken for the zones to heat up.
•Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface is its
easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see sec-
tion: “Cleaning and care”).
•Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indicator lights up if the
cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

Operating the Hob
3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a
characteristic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the appliance.
3 The cooking zones are controlled using the ring switches on the
hob, or in the switch box, as described in the user instructions
provided with the appliance.
Residual heat indicator
The ceramic glass hob is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a
control lamp is allocated to each cooking zone. This lights up as soon
the corresponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant
contact.
The remaining heat lamp only goes out when the cooking zone has
cooled down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
2 You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
1 Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there
is a risk of burns.
1 Important! If the power supply is interrupted the residual heat indica-
tor also go out and information about residual heat will no longer be
available. However, it is still possible to burn yourself. This can be
avoided by being particularly attentive.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
•Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of
the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper
rim.
•Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolour-
ing on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible
to remove.
•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid
across the surface.
•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly
inwards (concave). They should never be bowed
outwards (convex).
•If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.),
please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
•Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking
zone.
•Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase
power consumption.
•Whenever possible always position the lids firmly
on pots and pans to cover completely.
•Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the
cooking time to use the residual heat such as to
keep foods warm or for melting.
•The base of the pan should be
the same size as the cooking
zone.
•Using a pressure cooker reduces
cooking times by up to 50%.
