foam-type extinguisher.
• WARNING: The cooktop is hot during use and remains so for some time after being
switched o. The risk of burns remains until the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process
has to be supervised continuously.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS –
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other ammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have
had sucient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooking surface and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
• DANGER OF FIRE: Do not store items on the cooking surfaces!
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids shall not be placed on the hob
surface since they can become hot.
• Always switch the cooking zones o after use!
• If the cooking area is switched on or accidentally switched on or if it is still hot, metal
objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or catch re. Damp lids
can become attached to the cooktop by suction.
• Flames can set re to the grease lters in the exhaust hood. Never ambé food under
an exhaust hood.
• Spray cans, ammable liquids or ammable materials can ignite if heated. If there is a
drawer below the appliance, do not store ammable items in the drawer. If there is a
cutlery tray below the cooking area, it must be made of heat-resistant material.
• Never heat empty cookware or an empty pot! This can damage the glass ceramic
surface.
• Never use the cooking surface to heat closed cans. The increased pressure can cause
the cans to explode.
• If using a small appliance (e.g. a hand mixer) in the vicinity of the cooking surface, make
sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot cooking area. The
insulation of the cord could get damaged.
• If the cooktop is built in behind a cabinet door, it should only be operated with the
door open. Close the door only when the residual heat indicators have gone out.
Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-tting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
• You could burn yourself on a hot cooking zone. Protect your hands when working
with a hot appliance - wear oven mitts or use potholders. Make sure the material
is not wet or damp. This would increase the transfer of heat to your skin and could
cause steam burns.
• Do not let sugar, food containing sugar, plastic or aluminium foil fall on the hot cooking
surface and melt. They can damage the ceramic surface when they cool. Switch the
cooking area o immediately and clean with a glass scraper. Clean the cooking surface
with a glass ceramic cleaner once it has cooled down.
• Rough cookware can scratch the glass ceramic surface. Use only pots and pans with
5

ENGLISH
a smooth bottom.
• Salt, sugar, and grains of sand or dirt (e.g. from fresh vegetables) between the cookware
and the cooking surface can cause scratches. Keep cooking area and cookware clean.
• Even light objects such as a salt shaker can cause cracks and chips if they fall on the glass
ceramic surface. Do not drop anything on the glass ceramic surface.
• Hot objects on the sensor areas or indicators can damage the electronics underneath.
Never place hot pots or pans on the sensor areas or indicators.
• Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and never use the power booster.
• Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units.
• Metal objects stored in a drawer under the cooking surface can become hot when the
cooking area is in heavy use over a longer period of time. Do not store metal objects in a
drawer under the cooking surface!
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
• For users who wear a pacemaker: When the cooking area is in use it is surrounded by
an electromagnetic eld. It is unlikely that this will aect a pacemaker. However, if in doubt
consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.
• Objects aected by electromagnetic elds, for instance credit cards, CDs and calculators,
should be kept away from the cooking area when it is on.
• Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of the cookware bottom can
quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats. Never leave the cooking area unattended
during use!
• The cooking surface is equipped with a cooling fan. If there is a drawer below the installed
appliance, you will need to ensure there is enough space to allow for ventilation. Do not
use the drawer to store sharp or small objects or paper. They could pass through or be
sucked into the vents in the housing and damage the fan blades or otherwise interfere
with cooling.

Advantages of induction cooking
When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the base of the pan. This
provides many benets for you:
•Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated directly.
• Less energy is consumed.
• Easy cleaning and maintenance. Spilled food does not burn onto the cooking
surface so quickly.
• Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The burner reacts immediately
to any power change, so heating can be dosed precisely. Heating is interrupted
when you remove the cookware from the burner even if the burner is still switched
on.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following materials is suitable for
induction cooking surface:
• Enameled steel
• Cast iron
• Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel.
To determine whether the cookware is suitable,
check whether the base of the pot or pan attracts
a magnet.
There are other induction-capable pots and pans
whose bases are not completely ferromagnetic.
If the base of the cookware it’s not completely
ferromagnetic, only the area that is magnetizable
will get hot. Thus it can happen that the heat is
not distributed evenly.
To get good cooking results, we recommend that the dimension of the ferromagnetic
area of the cookware match the size of the burner.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage
Induction cooking
ENGLISH

due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should
be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of dierent size. Select utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve eciency.

• Traditional stainless steel
• Glass
• Clay
• Copper
• Aluminum
