Installation
Special case: Installation in a stone worktop
Safety instructions
■ The griddle/hob must be built into a worktop opening! Do not use the
appliance i it has not been installed!
■ Installation, itting a mains socket, repairing and servicing the appliance are
jobs that should be le t to a quali ied electrician according to valid sa ety
regulations. For your own sa ety, do not allow anyone other than a quali ied
service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.
■ Risk of burning! The grilling/cooking zone becomes
hot during operation. There ore caution: Generally
keep little children away rom the appliance.
■ The appliance is designed solely or the preparation o ood in the home.
■ The glass ceramic sur ace is very tough and can easily stand light to
medium blows and loads distributed over large areas. You should, however,
avoid concentrated loads, such as containers or spices and herbs or bottles
alling onto the sur ace. Lumped impact loads may result in a breaking o
the griddle/hob.
■ In case o cracks, ractures or breaches o the griddle/hob immediately put
the appliance out o operation. Disconnect use, call customer service.
■ Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can ignite!
■ The connecting cable must not contact the hot griddle/hob.
■ Caution: Overheated greases and oils may in lame themselves. Prepare
meals with greases and oils only under control. Never extinguish ignited ats
and oils with water!
■ The griddle/hob must not be used as depositing place when hot.
■ Take care when working with attachments! The connecting cable must not
contact the hot griddle/hob.
■ Do not put kitchen foil or plastic onto the griddle/hob. Things that may
melt, e.g. plastics, oils or sugar, must be kept away rom the griddle/hob.
Melted parts must immediately be lifted off rom the griddle/hob when
still hot by means o the supplied cleaning scraper in order to avoid
damaging.
■ Avoid repeated burning o contaminations.
■ Lime deposits are harm ul to the griddle/hob.
■ Never use silicone-containing cleansing agents to clean the griddle!
Please observe the cleaning and servicing instructions.

EKE/EGE 304 11
Using the hob/griddle
Be ore using the irst time
– Be ore preparing the irst meals clean the griddle by means o a moist cloth
and a bit washing-up liquid.
A terwards wipe it dry with a non- lu y cloth.
The hob/griddle
■ The griddle/hob is resistant against thermal shocks (coldness and heat) and
also very robust.
■ When switching on the griddle/hob a short buzzing noise may be heard rom
the heating. This is design-speci ic and has no in luence on quality and
operation.
■ We would like to indicate that scratches on the griddle/hob caused by
improper cleaning or cutting with knives do not have a negative in luence
on the operation o the device. They merely impair the appearance o the
appliance.
Using the cooking zones
Please note the safety instructions!
Subsequent to initial connection and in the event o a power ailure, the
controls will be tested automatically.
Important!
No objects must be lying on top o the sensors when adjusting the sensor’s
sensitivity.
The sensor controls are operated as ollows: with your ingertip, lightly touch
the circles with the symbols on the glass ceramic sur ace. A buzzer will
indicate when the controls have been operated correctly.
Turning the hob on
Touch the on-o sensor until the buzzer
sounds.
The cooking level indicators o the cooking
zones display a “0”.
The appliance is in operation (stand-by
mode).
The stand-by mode switches o automatically i no cooking zone is activated
within a period o 10 seconds.
The cooking levels
A cooking zone level is selected with
the minus sensor. When it is touched
once the cooking zone switches onto

Automatic boost unction
Each o the cooking zones and the
griddle are itted with the automatic
boost unction. The parboiling boost
is activated at ull power. The
parboiling boost time depends on the
subsequent cooking level which has
been selected a ter the activation.
The cooking zone automatically
changes to the selected level as soon
as the set parboiling boost time has
elapsed.
Select the cooking level 9 with the plus
sensor.
A dot will light up on the cooking level
display.
Now the required cooking level – rom
1-8 – is set with the minus sensor
within 10 seconds.
I the required cooking level is selected a ter the decimal point has switched
o , the automatic boost unction will not be activated.
Residual heat indicators
As long as the cooking zone is still hot an
“H” will appear in the display when the
cooking zone has been switched o .
Dual-circuit cooking zone
As a standard rule, the smallest cooking zone diameter is heated.
Switch on the outer cooking zone circuit or large pots.
Two-circuit connection o the cooking zone
can only be e ected a ter the cooking zone
has been activated and switched on.
Select the desired cooking level 1-9.
Switch on the second heating element by
means o the Multi-circuit key. The control
lamp lights up.
The corresponding cooking zone must also
be activated in order to switch o the two-circuit connection. The outer heating
circuits are switched o by pressing the Multi-circuit key once again. The
control lamps is then no longer lit.
Which are the best pots and pans?
Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
The cooking time with pans and pots with curved bottoms is longer and
consumes more energy. Pans with rough bottoms scratch the glass ceramic
cooking sur ace when they are moved. When using cookware made rom
ireproo glass or porcelain please ollow the instructions o the manu acturer.
Choose a pot or pan whose diameter fits the cooking zone.
By doing this you save energy and cooking time and avoid the overheating o
the hob.
If possible always place a lid on the pan.
You save a lot o energy by cooking in a closed pan. Food only boils over when
the temperature is too high. For the cooking zones, you can precisely set the
temperature required. With a little practice, you will readily make the correct
choice o cooking settings so that nothing boils over even when a lid is in
place.

Grilling
=Please do not use olive oil or grilling. Burnt in residues o olive oil can
only be removed with great di iculties.
– Preheat the barbecue immediately be ore grilling or approx. 5 minutes in
grill level 9.
– Place the ood directly onto the glass ceramic. Do not use aluminium oil or
similar.
– Grill the meat on both sides at grill level 9 until it can be taken o rom the
griddle. In this way the meat juices remain in the grill goods.
– Then switch down, i required (e.g. level 6), and grill the meat until it is
done. Toss thick pieces o meat or sausages several times.
– Remove the grilling residuals by means o the cleaning scraper a ter every
grilling procedure.
FIf the barbecue has been operated at a low temperature setting,
preheat it at temperature setting 9 again before putting new meat
on it.
FDo not grease the griddle with oil. Lean meat can be greased with oil.
FWhen grilling very atty oods, care ully dab away the at using a paper
kitchen towel.
FIn case o pickled meat, remove surplus grease and coarse spices (like
onions, leaves or thyme).

=Sugar and food containing sugar (e. g. marmalade) and melted
plastic must immediately be removed with the cleaning scraper rom
the hot griddle/cooking sur ace. Otherwise the sur ace can be destroyed
when cooling down.

juice. Any slight dirt marks rom protein, e.g. rom meat, is removed and
the griddle shines again.
