Important safety information en
m ( Important safety
information
Importantsafetyinformation The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at
its installation location.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
Dangerous or explosive materials and vapours
must not be extracted.
Ensure that no small parts or liquids get into
the appliance.
Check the appliance for damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it
has been damaged in transport.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external clock timer or a remote control.
mWarning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
mWarning – Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are
drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if
the appliance is being operated in exhaust air
mode at the same time as room air-dependent
heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing
appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated
heaters, continuous flow heaters or water
heaters) obtain combustion air from the room
in which they are installed and discharge the
exhaust gases into the open air through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through
openings that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.

using a glass scraper.
Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
▯Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
▯The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
▯Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯Switch back to a lower heat setting in good time.
This will save energy.
▯During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the ventilation system to
work efficiently and with a low level of operating
noise.
▯Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
▯If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
ventilation system will need to be operated for
longer.
▯Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
▯Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Induction cooking en
f Induction cooking
Inductioncooking Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯Saves energy.
▯Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯Cookware made from cast iron
▯Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section entitled ~"Flex
function".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
If the flexible cooking zone is being used as a single
hotplate, larger items of cookware can be used as these
are particularly suited to this area. You can find
information on positioning cookware in the section
entitled ~"~"Basic settings" on page 38"
on page 13.
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
▯The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
▯common thin steel
▯glass
▯earthenware
▯copper
▯aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.

en Induction cooking
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on
the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch
the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled
down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.

en Flex function
Flex function
Flexfunction The flexible cooking zone can be used as a single
hotplate or as two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of
each other. If the flex function is in use, only the area
that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is
distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent
hotplates.
Activating
See the section entitled ~"Operating the appliance"
on page 14
As a single hotplate
Using the entire cooking zone by connecting both
hotplates.
Linking the two hotplates
1Set down the cookware. Select one of the two
hotplates in the flexible cooking zone and set the
heat setting.
2Touch the ªsymbol. The ªindicator lights up next
to the cooging zone display.
The flexible cooking zone has now been activated. The
heat setting appears in the two displays for the flexible
cooking zone.
Notes
– If both hotplates are set to different heat settings
before being linked, switch both hotplates to 0 on
activation.
– If there is a cooking timer programmed for one
hotplate, this will also be assigned to the second
hotplate when the two are linked.
Changing the heat setting
Select one of the two hotplates assigned to the flexible
cooking zone and set the heat setting using the twist
knob.
Adding new cookware
1Set down additional cookware in the appropriate
position according to size.
If correctly positioned, cookware is detected and
the hotplate is selected automatically; the
corresponding part of the display ªflashes.
2Use the twist knob to confirm the setting within
90 seconds. The indicators stop flashing and the
cookware is heated up.
Note: If the indicators continue to flash, check
whether the cookware is suitable for induction
cooking
Note: If the cookware is moved to the hotplate being
used or lifted up, the hotplate begins an automatic
search and the heat setting selected previously is
retained.
Unlinking the two hotplates
1Select one of the two hotplates assigned to the
flexible cooking zone.
2Touch the ªsymbol.
3The «symbol appears in the cooking zone display.
This deactivates the flexible cooking zone. The two
hotplates will now function independently.
Note: If the hob is switched off, and then switched back
on again later, the flexible cooking zone is reset to
function as two independent hotplates.
As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13
cm
Place the cookware on one of the four
positions that can be seen in the illus-
tration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the
three positions that can be seen in the
illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than
one hotplate, place it starting on the
upper or lower edge of the flexible
cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two
inductors and can be used independently of
each other. Select the required heat setting
for each of the hotplates. Use only one item
of cookware on each hotplate.
