important safety instructions
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother re or ame or use dry chemical or
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 cooktop 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 cooktop 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 cooktop, 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 cooktop 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 cooktop, make sure
that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. 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.

ENGLISH
• Rough cookware can scratch the glass ceramic surface. Use only pots and pans with a
smooth bottom.
• Salt, sugar, and grains of sand or dirt (e.g. from fresh vegetables) between the cookware
and the cooktop can cause scratches. Keep cooktop 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 cooktop can become hot when the cooktop
is in heavy use over a longer period of time. Do not store metal objects in a drawer under
the cooktop!
• 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 cooktop 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 cooktop 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 cooktop unattended during
use!
• The cooktop 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.
important safety instructions

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 cooktop 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 cooktops:
• 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
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.

cleaning and care
Important information
• Clean Cook-Top With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills
on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Clean regularly the appliance to prevent the deterioration of the surface
material.
• Deactivate the appliance and let it cool down before you clean it.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before maintenance.
• Do not use water spray and steam to clean the appliance.
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth. Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or metal
objects.
General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no eect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
Cleaning the cooktop
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, and food with sugar.
If not, the dirt can cause damage to the
cooktop. Put the special scraper on
the glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is suciently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the cooktop with a moist cloth
and non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the cooktop dry with a
soft cloth.

protecting the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping.
They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of children. Danger of suocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
• Old electrical and electronic appliances often still contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain harmful substances that were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly
or disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and
the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste.
• Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your
local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
• Please be sure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
Energy-saving advice
• Always place a tting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result
in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid
having to lift the lid.
• Use cookware equipped with a solid, at bottom. Curved pan bases increase
energy consumption.
• The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy
may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan’s upper
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan’s base.
• Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook.
A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
• Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables
retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
• Select a lower power level.
