Correct use
~For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is
electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker.
However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker
or your doctor.
~To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic
fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators,
etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.
~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
~You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop could
also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult
to dislodge.
Do not use the appliance as a resting place.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~Do not store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the
cooktop as they can become hot if the induction cooktop is used
intensively for a long time.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as
they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this
should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst still hot, using
a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a
suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged,
~Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still
present.
~Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does
catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire
blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
~Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the
rangehood on fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Induction heating works extremely quickly, so the base of the pan
could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within
a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
being used.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door
whilst the cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.
~Do not heat an empty pan.
~Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
~Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
~Do not use pots or pans on the cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the
ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with
smooth bases.
~Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)
can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that
the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
~Do not place hot items or pans on the touch display as this could
cause damage to the electronics underneath.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object
could cause damage in certain circumstances.
~This appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop.
Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They
could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the
housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this cooktop. The
steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
~If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolitic oven, the cooktop should
not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this
could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop
(see relevant section).

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance. If
handled or disposed of incorrectly they
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
Please do not dispose of your
appliance with household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Chartered Agent
for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
Caring for the environment

The induction principle
Induction coils are located underneath the ceramic surface.
These coils create a magnetic field when the cooktop is
switched on and a pan is placed on the surface. This
magnetic field works on the base of the pan and heats it up.
The ceramic surface heats up indirectly by the heat given off
by the pan.
Induction heat only works when a ferromagnetic pan is
placed on the ceramic surface (see "Pans"). The induction
cooking zone automatically recognises the size of the pan
Induction heat will not work
–if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the cooktop when it is switched on.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the ceramic
surface, the cooktop will switch off automatically after a few
minutes.
Danger of burning.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for metal items
(e.g. cutlery). When the appliance is switched on either
deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up,
with the danger of burning.
Switch the cooktop off after use.

Noises
When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises
can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and
how it has been constructed.
–On the higher power levels, it might buzz. This will
decrease or cease altogether when the power level is
reduced.
–If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g.
in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.
–Whistling might occur if the Booster function is set when
using several pans which have bases made of layers of
different materials at the same time.
– You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic
switches, especially on lower power levels.
– You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan
switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when
the cooktop is being used intensively. The fan may
continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

Pans
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic base
–enamelled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a magnetic base
–aluminium and copper pans
–glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an
induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If
the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can
affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.
Pots must have minimum base diameter of 10.0 cm and pans
a minimum base diameter of 14.5 cm.
Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers refers
to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter
of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
Induction

The cooktop is fitted with a touch display. All settings are
selected by touching the display.
Take care to keep the touch display clean and do not
place anything on top of it. The sensors may fail to react or
they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip
contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the
cooktop to switch off automatically (see "Safety
switch-off".)
Do not place hot pans on the sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.
