■ I the hob cannot be switched o due to a de ect in the sensor control
immediately disconnect your appliance and call the Customer service.
■ Take care when working with attachments! The connecting cable must not
contact the hot cooking zones.
■ The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
■ Do not place combustible or ignitable objects on the cooking area which
might be dangerous i the appliance is switched on unintentionally.
■ Do not switch the cooking zone on i not using it or cooking.Never use the
appliance to heat a room! This would result in improper operating
conditions.
■ Do not put kitchen oil or plastic onto the cooking zone. Keep everything
which could melt, such as plastics, oil and in particular sugar and sugary
oods away rom the hot cooking zone. Remove sugar immediately rom the
hob when it is still hot to avoid damage.
■ Avoid repeated burning o contaminations.
■ Lime deposits are harm ul to the cooking zone.
Before using the appliance for
the first time
Remove packaging and non-essential components. Clean the glass ceramic
hob and the wok pan with a damp cloth or a so t brush and a little detergent
be ore they are used or the irst time.
The hob is resistant against thermal shocks (coldness and heat) and also very
robust.
■ Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking sur ace.
Pointed objects alling onto your hob might break it.
■ Please observe the cleaning and servicing instructions. Be especially care ul
to keep the sensor keys clean since soiling could be mistaken or inger
contact by the appliance. Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.) onto
the sensor keys! I ood boils over the wok-pan onto the sensor keys, we
advise you to activate the emergency switch.
■ When switching on the cooking zones a short buzzing noise may be heard
rom the heating. This is design-speci ic and has no in luence on quality
and operation.
Using the wok cooking zone
Please note the safety instructions!
Subsequent to initial connection and in the event o a power ailure, the
controls will be tested automatically. When the automatic test is being
per ormed, a minus symbol lights up on the control. This symbol extinguishes

Important!
No objects must be lying on top o the sensors when adjusting the sensor’s
sensitivity.
Using the wok cooking zone
Cooking in the glass ceramic wok cavity
■ When cooking ood in the wok cavity never use tools which could scratch
the glass ceramic sur ace.
■ The wok cavity should not be used or very sugary oodstu s. High
temperatures cause the sugar to melt into the glass ceramic sur ace and
can damage it permanently. When cooking such oodstu s it is essential
that the wok pan supplied be used.
This wok hob transmits heat directly to the ood. Cooking directly in the wok
cavity on the glass ceramic sur ace enables a highly economical use o
cooking ats. Gentle, low- at cooking preserves vital vitamins and minerals.
– Pre-heat the wok cavity or 5-7 minutes with the lid (o the wok pan) so
that the heat is distributed better and more evenly.
– Always pre-heat with the setting that will subsequently be used or cooking.
Frying / browning
– Use cooking setting 9 or browning small pieces o meat.
– Use cooking setting 6-7 or rying whole pieces o meat such as steaks,
cevapcici or chicken drumsticks or or rying ritters.
FA ter rying your meat you can make gravy by pouring some liquid into
the wok cavity in order to dissolve the meat juices.
Steaming
– Do not pour more than ½ liter o water into the wok cavity.
– Put the ood to be cooked, e.g. 2 trout, into a special basket and place the
basket above the water in the wok cavity .
– Put the lid on and bring the water to the boil at setting 9.
Then turn the pan down to setting 3-4.
Braising
– The setting should not be higher than 4-5.
Using the wok pan
■ Never cut or scrape anything in the wok pan with knives or any other sharp
gadgets. This could damage the coating.
■ No oreign bodies or dirt must be allowed to get between the wok pan and
the hob because they can damage the sur ace.
■ Do not overheat the wok pan when it is empty.
Only use the wok pan made o high-quality, coated cast aluminium which is
supplied. It its exactly into the wok cavity, enabling heat to be optimally
utilized.
FShould you require a replacement wok pan or its glass lid or wish to have
two pans and lids, please contact your dealer or customer service.

Cleaning and maintenance
[Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar
appliance!
[Never use cleansers which contain silicon. These will leave a ilm on the
sur ace which could be absorbed by the ood upon next use. There ore,
ollow the instructions o the manu acturer in this regard.
■ Clean the hob every time a ter use.
■ Since the glass ceramic wok cavity is
rounded, scrapers are unsuitable or
cleaning the wok and are likely to scratch the
sur ace.
■ Never use abrasive materials such as steel
wool or abrasive cleansers!
■ Be especially care ul to keep the sensor keys
clean since soiling could be mistaken or
inger contact by the appliance.
Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.)
onto the sensor keys! I ood boils over the
wok-pan onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the emergency
switch.
■ We recommend cleaning the hob with hal a lemon or lemon juice. Any
slight dirt marks rom protein, e.g. rom meat, is removed and the sur ace
shines again.
Cleaning the wok cavity
[The wok cavity must have cooled down su iciently be ore it is cleaned.
[Make sure that no cleaning residuals remain in the cavity.
FResidues o cleaning agents can cause discolouring the next time you
switch it on. Cloths and sponges which are used or the cleaning o other
sur aces can cause discolouring.
– Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts o dirt rom the
sur ace.
In the case of encrusting after hot frying
– Firstly remove all ood rests and grease rom the hob cavity while it is still
warm.
– Pour water to which detergent has been added into the wok cavity and allow
it to boil or 2-5 minutes.
– Then use a ladle to take the water out o the wok.
Caution! Risk o burns!!
– Clean the wok cavity with water and some detergent.
– Rewipe it with clear water and inally dry it.
FIn case there are still some soil particles le t in the wok cavity a ter
cleaning, they can easily be removed by means o a special cleansing
agent, e.g. VSR O-FIX-C (available rom the KÜPPERSBUSCH Customer
service). Then wipe o the entire cooking zone with a wet and a terwards
with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the wok pan
[The wok pan must have cooled down su iciently be ore it is cleaned.
[Do not use any cleaning agents since these may damage the coating o
the pan. Only use a cloth or a so t brush.
– Firstly remove all ood rests and at rom the pan.
– Clean the pan with water and some detergent.

EWE 457.1 / EWEF 457.1 19
Installation
Please note
FThe models EWE and EWEF 457.1 have an installation depth o 115 mm,
thus the hob cannot be mounted above an oven.
■ Do not use a screw driver to lever the appliance out o the opening. This
will damage the rame o appliance. When removing the appliance press it
rom the bottom out o the opening.
Notes or itting
■ The worktop must be installed absolutely horizontally and the opening must
be cleanly cut.
■ The distances o the
opening to the wall or
the ront, the back and
the side have to
correspond to the
dimension drawing!
A corner moulding o
solid wood may be itted
to the worktop at the
back o the co oking zo nes
provided that the
minimum clearances are
maintained.
The distance to mounted
cupboards should be or
technical reasons at least
300 mm.
■ Cooker hoods or wall cupboards mounted above the hob must be installed
with a minimum distance o 650 mm to the hob.
■ No cross-bars may be in the area o the cut-out underneath. They have to
be reduced at least to the opening size o the worktop.
■ The plastic inish or the veneer o built-in kitchen urniture must have been
produced using a heat-resistant adhesive (100 °C).
■ The properly installed device
must be protected with a
cover in such a way that it is
impossible to accidentally
come into contact with the
bottom side o the hob.
This cover must only be able
to be removed with the aid o
tools and must be attached at
a minimum distance o
20 mm rom the bottom o the hob, so that the power supply cable L does
not touch the bottom o the hob.
■ Minimum clearance between the edge o the hob and adjacent walls:
40 mm.
We recommend sealing the cut sections o the worktop or built-in sinks and
oven hobs with water-proo protection paint.
The seals must be replaced whenever the appliance is removed rom the
worktop.
[The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with silicone
sealant!
This would make it impossible to remove the hob at a later date without
damaging it.
Installing several hobs
■ When installing several hobs side by side please observe the minimum
distances between the worktop openings as shown in the drawings:
Installation o the glass ceramic hob EWE
Using clips makes it easier and quicker or you to install these units. You can
carry out the complete installation work rom above.
■ Be extremely care ul when installing the glass ceramic cooking sur ace!
Do not place or drop any sharp or pointed tools (screwdrivers, etc.) on the
glass sur ace!
■ The glass ceramic hob must have a level and lush bearing. Any distortion
may lead to racture o the glass panel.
Making the worktop recess
– Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or
recessing machine in accordance with the dimensions in the illustrations.
– The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.

Checking or replacing the sealing
– Check that the seal its well and has no gaps.
When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or similar
covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the seal between
the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (not included in scope
o delivery).
You can obtain this sealing rom our Customer service.
– Clean the sur aces, apply the sealant in a continuous strip and press the
hob into the opening.
– Cut away excess sealant and clean the sealed sur ace immediately with
water.
Drive in the clips
FWhen installing the class-ceramic hob into a stone worktop, proceed as
described in the “Installing in a worktop made o stone” section.
– Align the clips care ully and drive them in with a hammer.
Worktops with more than
30 mm thickness:
With worktops with 30 mm
thickness the clips have to be
screwed down with two screws
(not supplied)!
Insert the clips of the
hob
– Position the hob towards the
back (1), align it (2) and
insert the clips (3).
Be care ul not to pinch the
connecting cable!
[It is essential that the hob rests evenly in the opening, since strain may
cause the hob to crack on being heated up.
FI the hob is not ixed tightly in the opening it
is slightly too big. In this case screw the clips
with two screws down each (not supplied) to
raise the spring tension.
Installing in a worktop made of stone
With a worktop made o marble, granite or similar material, the clips are not
screwed to the cut-out but to the hob.
for 30 mm worktops:
for 40 mm worktops:
– Insert the hob’s edge at the
back and care ully lower it.
Use manual pressure on the
clips here.
– Press the hob down until it
is entire ly i n contac t at op t he
worktop.
FI the cutout in the worktop is a little too big it is possible to bend the
clip retainers outward to increase spring tension.

Installation o the glass ceramic hob EWEF
Attention when using plastic worktops
Some producers o plastic worktops re use to lush-installed hobs into their
plastic worktops. Please make enquiries at the producer o your worktop
concerning usability in the case o lush-installed hobs. Should a producer not
expressly agree to installation, we must point out that we will not be held liable
or any consequential damage to the worktop (which may possibly tear due to
thermal expansion).
Device and cutout dimensions
Installation on milling out the worktop.
Installation using supporting angles or strips o wood or
stone.
Making the worktop recess
The cut-out is produced in two work steps.
1. Make the opening or the base
trough.
2. Making the recess or the support
o the glass ceramic hob.
(For this recess at least one
recessing machine with guide strip
is required.)
The outside dimension o the recess should always be about 6 mm longer
than the outside dimension o the glass ceramic hob so that a seal can be
provided (see: “Gluing in the hob“).
FAlternatively, instead o carrying out the second stage, the support o the
glass ceramic hob can be cut out completely and then glued in again
with the height adjusted.
It is also possible to install strips o wood or stone as well as steel angles.
1. Make the opening or the hob.
2. Fix the strip o wood or stone or
the supporting angle onto the
worktop.
With a stone worktop the glass ceramic hob can be inserted completely lush.
The recess must there ore be about 7 mm deep.
With wooden worktops the recess must be 6 mm deep. The resultant
protrusion o the glass ceramic hob compared with the worktop o min. 1mm
serves to protect the plastic sur ace o the worktop.
Note!
The glass-ceramic hob, with glued-in sheet metal angles, is 5.5 to 6.5 mm
thick. In order to ensure that it is exactly lush with the stone worktop, the
recess may have to be modi ied accordingly.
Gluing in the hob
Notes
■ In order to avoid damage to the worktop and the hob, it is necessary to glue
the system worktop/hob with a permanent seal so that it is water-proo .
■ The parts to be glued together must be dry and ree rom grease.
■ In order to glue the hobs you will need the resistive primer 101 and the
heat-resistant and moisture-resistant silicon adhesive Pactan 7056
produced by eidelberger Baustofftechnik, which is also available rom
the Küppersbusch spare parts service.
It is absolutely essential to observe the handling instructions enclosed
for these two materials.
There you will also ind a calculation ormula or the hardening o the
silicone adhesive. Do not operate the cooking zone before the
hardening process is over as otherwise the silicone adhesive can be
damaged.
■ Only glue the hob on its outer edges!
■ With stone worktops installation is to be lush, with heat-sensitive worktops
(e.g. wood) the hob must project about 1 mm.
■ Never place the hob with the glass ceramic sur ace unprotected on the
worktop or the loor. Dirt (metal chips, small pieces o stone etc.) can cause
scratches in the sur ace o the glass ceramic hob. Please always place it
on cardboard or a wool rug.

22 EWE 457.1 / EWEF 457.1
Procedure
1. Glue the sealing tape  onto the corner o the supporting edge o the
worktop so that no Pactan  can be pressed under the hob.
[Only use the sealing tape that is supplied with the hob!
Should you use any other sealing there is no guarantee that the hob will
not sink down a ter installation.
2. Insert the hob without adhesive into the worktop opening and check the
height. I necessary, place the shims provided on the support edge or the
hob at equal distances to adjust the height.
3. Remove the hob again.
4. Use the water-proo primer to pre-treat the outer edges o the hob and the
side cut sur aces o the worktop where they have been glued.
Apply a thick coat o the primer with a brush on highly absorbent sur aces
(e.g. chipboard).
With less absorbent sur aces (e.g. marble or granite) it is su icient to apply
the primer with a elt cloth.
Important! A ter application, the primer must be le t or about 30 minutes.
5. Now insert the hob and align.
6. Finally, ill the gap between the hob and the worktop with Pactan .
7. Smooth the joint with a spatula and water containing a little washing-up
liquid.
[Attention! Use sealing tape! Pactan must not get under the support
sur ace. I this occurs it will not be possible to remove the hob again at
a later stage. No liability will be assumed in the case o ailure to observe
these instructions.
