2. Things to watch out for
2.1 Notes on the right types of saucepans
Use only pots and pans with bottoms that are firm, even and as thick as possible. This applies particularly to
cooking with high temperatures, e.g. deep-frying. Uneven bottoms extend cooking times and increase energy
consumption. The best transmission result is obtained when the pots and the cooking zone are of equal dimension.
Always use a lid. Energy is wasted if you cook without a lid placed correctly on the pan.
In order to work directly on the cooking zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain
if their bottoms are flat polished. Please note the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always take away overflow food.
Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Then switch the cooking zones onto the highest setting,
one after the other, for three minutes. This will remove any “new” smell and cause any humidity in the
heating units to evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly.
2.2 Important
Attention! The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use.
Keep small children away at all times.
Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the
material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the
ceramic hob to break. If careless treatment results in a break, split or crack, the ceramic hob must immediately be
taken out of use and disconnected from the mains power supply. To do this, switch off the safety switch for the
oven connection in the fuse box. Customer Service must be contacted.
Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a storage area! Never prepare food in aluminium foil and plastic containers
on the hot cooking zone.
Do not switch the hob on without using it for cooking. Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects
directly underneath the hob.
When preparing food with fat or oil stay nearby. Overheated oil can ignite. Never pour water into burning fat or oil.
Risk of burning! Cover the dish in order to extinguish the fire and switch off the cooking zone. Let the dish cool
down on the cooking zone.
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!

225007 25
3. Cleaning and maintenance
Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of dirt
will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only recommended
cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders scratch the
surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the
surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface.
Rinse off leftover cleaning agent with cold water and then dry the surface
thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove
water stains from the surface. If these agents come into contact with the frame,
wipe them off with a wet cloth, otherwise the frame loses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel”, “Stahlfix” or “Cerafix” to remove heavy
dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect,
then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.
Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is
reheated.
Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper +. A
glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY
shops or from our Customer service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If
you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as
this will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper. Risk of
injury!
Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In
order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately
removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot ,, .
Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These
colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were
not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring is caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great
difficulty with “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel” or “Stahlfix”. You may have to
clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Worn decoration -.In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will
appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms.
If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and cleaning
will be easier.
To care for your hob we recommend that you use “Cerafix”. The high silicone
percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off water and
dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean your hob and
the cooking zones regularly.

4. Fitting
4.1 Worktop cut-out
Carry out all cutting out of furniture units and worktops before fitting the
appliance, and remove all sawdust and chips.
The dimensions of the worktop recess can be seen in the dimension
drawing (figs. 1+2).
The cut sections should be sealed with a water-repellent protection
paint.
The worktop and the hob must be fitted horizontally. A tilted hob is
under tension and this increases the danger of breaking.
4.2 Installation
Before installing the hob, check that the all-round hob seal has no gaps.
If the hob is installed in a worktop with a ceramic or similar cover (tiles), remove the hob seal and seal the hob
from the worktop with a plastic seal, such as heat-resistant silicone rubber.
Important! If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side panels, drawers, etc.), then an
intermediate bottom must be inserted in order to prevent accidental contact with the underside of the
cooking surface. The intermediate bottom may only be capable of removal by means of tools and must be
attached with a minimum distance of 20 mm to the underside of the cooking surface so that the mains
connection cable does not touch the underside of the cooking surface (fig. 4).
If the cooking surface is to be inserted over a built-in baking oven, then it must be equipped with a cooling
fan. An intermediate bottom is not necessary in this case.
No cross-bars may be in the area of the cut-out underneath.
Place the hob carefully into the cut-out and fasten it to the worktop with the fasteners.
Screw the springs into the worktop as shown in the drawing. The hob is then pressed carefully from above into the
retaining springs.
When screwing the springs, always use the upper hole of the spring, unless the worktop is tiled (fig. 3).
Make sure that the worktop and the hob are horizontal. In addition, make sure that no liquids can penetrate
between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into contact with any
electrical appliances. Use sealing sections, strips, agents, etc.
