Warning and Safety instructions
13

Correct use
~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.
~Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
~Do not heat an empty pan.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
~Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob 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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~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 hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.
~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 hob. 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 hob heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob 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 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 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 hob cleaning agent.
~Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~Do not use pots or pans on the hob 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.
~Even a light object could cause damage in certain
circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
~Placing hot objects on the sensors and displays could damage
the electronics underneath them. Do not place hot pans on the
sensors and displays.
~Induction heating works extremely quickly and 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.
~Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
~For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob 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 hob.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

~Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if
the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any
metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob
~This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, 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 hob.
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 two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or
PowerFlex zone at the same time.
Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
~If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven or cooker, the hob
should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out,
as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the
hob (see relevant section).
Warning and Safety instructions

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.
Please do not dispose of it with
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After
sales service, data plate" section of this booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.
^Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a
damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
Before using for the first time
On hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be
visible between the hob and the worktop during the first
few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as
the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical
safety of your appliance.
When the appliance is used for the first time, it may give off a
slight smell and some vapours. This smell will be less
noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating
completely.
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to
health.
Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is
very much shorter than on conventional hobs.
Before using for the first time
19

The induction principle
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When
a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic
field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats
it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the
heat given off by the pan.
An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic
pan is placed on it (see "Pans").
Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.
heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the
pan.
The cooking zone will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in place, or 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 cooking zone when it is switched
on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the relevent cooking zone
display alternating with the power setting selected.
If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within
3 minutes, the ßwill go out and you can continue as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone and the hob will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal
objects on the hob. When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up
with the danger of burning.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
