Operating Instructions
1Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with ac-
cepted technical standards and the German Appli-
ance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we
also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you
with the following safety instructions.
Electrical Safety
•The installation and connection of the new appli-
ance must only be carried out by qualified person-
nel.
•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out
by approved service engineers. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or seri-
ous malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repair-
ing, please contact your local customer center or
your dealer.
3Please follow these instructions, otherwise the
warranty will not cover any damage that may
occur.
•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated
following installation in suitable installation cabi-
nets 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 Engi-
neers].
•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 cook-
ing 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.
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 instructions in this manual.
How to avoid damage to the appli-
ance
•Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or stor-
age 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 unbreaka-
ble. 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 removed.
•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 immediately, using a kitchen scraper.

2Disposal
Disposing of the packaging
material
All materials used can be fully recycled.
Plastics are marked as follows:
•>PE< for polyethylene, as used for the outer wrap-
ping and the bags inside.
•>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g., as used for the
padding materials. They are completely free of
CFCs.
Disposal of old appliances
1Warning: Before disposing of old appliances
please make them inoperable so that they
cannot be the source of danger.
To do this, disconnect the appliance from
the mains supply and remove the mains
lead.
To protect the environment, it is important that worn
out appliances are disposed of in the correct man-
ner.

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 particularly powerful
radiant heater elements significantly shorten the
amount of time taken for the zones to heat up.
•Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using
Touch Control sensor fields.
•Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass
cooking surface and the sensor fields is their ac-
cessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat surface is
easy to clean.
•On/Off sensor field: The “On/Off” sensor field
provides the appliance with a separate mains
switch. Touching this switches the power supply
on or off completely.
•Control and function indicators: Digital indica-
tors or control lamp provide information about set-
tings made, functions activated, as well as any
residual heat of the corresponding cooking zone.
•Safety cut-out: A safety cut-out ensures that all
cooking zones switch off automatically after a peri-
od of time if the setting has not been changed.
•Keep warm setting: 1is the setting for keeping
foods warm.
•Residual heat indicator: An hfor residual heat is
shown in the display if the cooking zone becomes
so hot that there is a risk of burning.
•Timer: All zones can be automatically switched off
using the integrated timer. When the end of the
cooking time has been reached, the cooking zone
switches off.

Initial Cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.
1Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive
cleaners! The surface could be damaged.
Operating the Hob
3When a cooking zone is switched on, it may
hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ce-
ramic glass cooking zones and does not im-
pair either the function or the life of the
appliance.
Touch Control Sensor Field
To operate the Touch Control sensor field place your
finger from above flat onto the required field until the
appropriate displays come on or go out or the re-
quired function is carried out.
Switching On the Appliance
The entire appliance is switched on using the “On/
Off” Isensor field.
Touch the “On/Off” sensor field for approx. 2 sec-
onds.
The digital displays will show _and the decimal
point will flash.
3Once the “On/Off” sensor field has been oper-
ated to switch on the appliance, one of the
cooking zones must be selected within ap-
prox. 10 seconds using the cooking zone se-
lection buttons. Otherwise the appliance
switches off again for safety reasons.
Switching Off the Appliance
To switch off the appliance completely activate the
“On/Off” Isensor field.
Touch the “On/Off” sensor field for approx.
1second.
3When an individual cooking zone or the entire
hob is switched off, any residual heat is shown
with an h(for “Hot”) in the digital display for
the appropriate cooking zones.

10
Cooking Zone Selection
To select the required cooking zone touch the corre-
sponding sensor field for approx. one second.
A zero with a decimal point will light up in the appro-
priate cooking zone display window 0.
3The decimal point indicates that settings may
only be made for this cooking zone.
Heat Setting Selection
For setting and adjusting the heat setting (1to 9)
for the selected cooking zone.
Use sensor field +to increase the heat setting.
Lower the heat setting with sensor field -.
3If several cooking zones are being used simul-
taneously, the required cooking zone must be
selected by touching the appropriate sensor
field before adjusting the heat setting. The
decimal point in the display shows which
cooking zone has been selected.

11
Switching off a Cooking
Zone
1. Select the required cooking zone with the cooking
zone sensor fields.
2. Touch sensor fields +and -simultaneously to
switch off or turn sensor field -back to zero.
3A cooking zone may only be switched off
when the decimal point is on in the cooking
zone display.
Residual Heat Indicator
When an individual cooking zone or
the entire hob is switched off, any re-
sidual heat is shown with an h(for
“Hot”) in the digital display for the ap-
propriate cooking zones.
Even after the cooking zone has been switched off,
the residual heat indicator only goes out when the
cooking zone is cold.
2You can use the residual heat for melting and
keeping food warm.
1Important! As long as the residual heat indi-
cator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
1Important! If the power supply is interrupted
the hsymbol will also go out and information
about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it may still be possible to burn your-
self. This can be avoided by taking care when
near the hob.

12
Cooking with the Automat-
ic Warm up Function
All four of the hob's cooking zones can be controlled
in nine stages and have an automatic warm up func-
tion:
–1, lowest heat setting
–9, highest heat setting
–a, automatic warm up function
When you select the required heat setting using the
+sensor field, the cooking zone will work for a spe-
cific time on full power and then switch automatically
to the set heat setting.
The duration of the automatic warm up function de-
pends on the heat setting selected.
Select the required cooking zone with the cooking
zone sensor fields.
Touch sensor field +until it reaches the required
heat 1to 8. The set heat setting will be displayed
first. After five seconds a(= automatic warm up
function) will replace the heat setting in the display.
At the end of the warm up time the heat setting will
be shown again.
3If during the automatic warm up function you
select a higher setting, eg. from 3to 5, the
warm up time is adjusted to match. If you se-
lect a lower setting, the warm up time ends at
once.
2If you start cooking again on a cooking zone
that is still warm, the automatic warm up func-
tion uses the residual heat. This saves time
and energy.
3If you again wish to switch on a cooking zone
on which hot items are already standing, you
should always select the required heat setting
with the -sensor field. In this way you can
avoid making the food boil over as a result of
the extra burst of heat from the automatic
warm up.

13
Cooking without the Auto-
matic Warm up Function
If you wish to use the cooking zone without automat-
ic warm up, select the required heat setting with the
-sensor field.
1. Switch on the appliance and select the desired
cooking zone using the cooking zone selection
buttons.
2. Touch sensor field -to select the required heat
setting from 9to 1.
3You can adjust the heat setting at any time us-
ing the +and -buttons, providing the cook-
ing zone has been selected.
Switching off a cooking zone
1. Select the desired cooking zone using the cooking
zone buttons.
2. Press the +and -buttons simultaneously to
switch off.
1When the rings are still hot cooking should be
carried out without automatic warm up.
Locking/Unlocking the
Control Panel
With the exception of the “On/Off” sensor field the
control panel can be locked at any required time dur-
ing cooking in order to prevent adjusting the settings
such as when wiping over with a cloth. This
function is also suitable as a child safety feature.
1. Touch the „lock“ sensor field until the control indi-
cator comes on.
2. To release the lock touch the „lock“ sensor field
again continuously until the control indicator goes
out.
3Child safety feature! If the hob is completely
switched off using the “On/Off” sensor field
while the lock is on, then the lock will still be
active when the hob is switched on again. To
reactivate the cooking zones, the locking func-
tion must be cancelled as described above.

14
Timer
A cooking duration can be set with the integrated
timer for all cooking zones. When the end of the
cooking duration is reached, the cooking zone
switches itself off automatically.

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 discolouring on the glass ceramic 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 perma-
nent scratching if the pan is slid across the sur-
face.
•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 pres-
sure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please ob-
serve the manufacturer's instructions.
2Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the fol-
lowing 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%.

17
Advice on Cooking with
and without Automatic
Warm up
The automatic warm up function is suita-
ble for:
•dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high
power and do not need to be continually watched
when cooking on the selected heat setting,
•dishes that are put in a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm up function is not
suitable for:
•goulash, beef olives and similar braised dishes that
need continual turning until browned correctly,
have liquid added and are then braised until
cooked,
•dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liq-
uid,
•cooking with pressure cookers,
•very large quantities of soup/stew with more than
2 litres of liquid.
General notes:
•When cooking without the automatic warm up
function, we recommend the use of a high heat
setting to warm up the food (using the -button)
and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an ap-
propriate lower heat setting.
•Take special note of the results when you first use
the appliance! You can then decide which heat set-
ting is the best for "your dishes" in the "quantities
you are accustomed to preparing" with "your
pans". You will then quickly appreciate the advan-
tages of the automatic function and will feel re-
laxed about using your new hob.
•You can use the 1heat setting for keeping food
warm.

18
Typical Heat Settings
The information given in the following tables is for
guidance. The heat setting required for cooking de-

quantity of food.
3When heating up or frying, we recommend us-
ing the warm up setting “9” and then continue
cooking foods that require longer cooking
times at an appropriate lower heat setting.

Cleaning and Care
Hob
1Important: Cleaning agents must not come
into contact with the hot ceramic glass sur-
face! All cleaning agents must be removed
with plenty of clean water after cleaning be-
cause they can have a caustic effect when the
rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as
grill or oven sprays, coarse scourers or abra-
sive pan cleaners.
3Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use
when it is warm to the touch or cold. This will
avoid spillages becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and
discolouration with a metallic shimmer using a
commercially available ceramic glass or stain-
less steel cleaner.
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth
and a little washing up liquid.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of
cleaner must not be left on the surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking
surface once a week with a commercially available
ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty
of clean water and rub dry with a clean fluff-free
cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over or stubborn
splashes, use a glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the ceramic
glass surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the blade.
3You can obtain glass scrapers and ceramic
glass cleaners from specialist retailers.

1Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium
foil or other meltable materials with a glass scraper
immediately and while still hot.
1Important: There is a risk of burning yourself
when the glass scraper is used on a hot cook-
ing zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it has cooled
down.
3If the cooking zone on which something has
melted has already cooled down, warm it up
again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass
surface, caused for example by a pan base
with sharp edges, cannot be removed. How-
ever, they do not impair the function of the
hob.
