CONNECTING TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY
Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the appliance, that is, the voltage
stated on the rating plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage. The rating plate is
located on the lower casing of the hob.
Shut off power to circuit before connecting wires to circuit.
TheheatingelementvoltageisAC230V~.Theappliancealsoworksperfectlyon
networkswithAC220V~orAC240V~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the appliance to be
disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm,
eg. automatic line protecting cut - out, earth leakage trips or fuse.
A type H05RN - F cable or one of a higher grade must be used as the mains connecting
cable.
Rated current of appliance (A) Nominal cross-sectional area (mm2)
1N~ > 25 and ≤ 32 ≥ 2.5
2N~ > 10 and ≤ 16 ≥ 1.5
The connection must be carried out as shown in the diagram. The connecting links
should be fitted according to the appropriate connection diagram.
The earth lead is connected to terminal. The earth lead must be longer than leads
carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and
the terminal screws tightened securely.
The connecting cable is to be secured with the mains cable cleat and the covering
closed by pressing firmly (locking into place). Before switching on for the first time, any
protective foil or stickers must be removed from the ceramic glass surface.
Once the hob is connected to the mains supply, check that all cooking zones are
ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting with suit-
able cookware.
When the hob is powered on for the first time, all displays light and the child safety
lock is activated.

PARTS AND FEATURES
THE KEY FEATURES OF YOUR APPLIANCE
• Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass cooking
surface and four rapid - response cooking zones. The hob’s powerful radiant heater
elements significantly shorten the amount of time required for the zones to heat up.
• Touch control sensors: Your appliance is operated using touch control sensors.
• Easy cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface and the control
sensors is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat surface is easy to clean.
• On / Off sensor: The “On / Off” control sensor provides the appliance with a
separate mains switch. Touching this sensor switches the power supply on or off
completely.
• Control and function indicators: Digital displays and indicator lights provide
information about settings and activated functions, as well as the presence of
residual heat in the various cooking zones.
• Safety shutoff: A safety shutoff ensures that cooking zones switch off automatically
after a period of time if the setting has not been changed.
• Residual heat indicator: An icon for residual heat appears in the display if the
cooking zone is so hot that there is a risk of burning.
• Doublecookingzone: The cooking surface features a double cooking zone. This
provides the appliance with a cooking zone of variable size, for instance, for when
cooking with smaller cookware. This allows savings in energy.
• Multipurpose cooking zone: The hob is equipped with a multipurpose / casserole
cooking zone. Depending on the setting, it can be used as a round or oval cooking
zone, for example, for when cooking with oval casseroles or for keeping dishes or
food warm.
• Digital displays: The four display fields are assigned to the four cooking zones.
They show the following information:
- the appliance has been switched on,
- to selected heat settings,
- residual heat,
- the child lock is activated
- error message, the sensor has been touched for longer than 10
seconds.
- error message, when the hob is overheated because of abnormal
operation. (example : operation with empty cookware)

14_ parts and features
SAFETY SHUTOFF
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted after an
extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with (for “hot”) in the digital displays
corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.
Heat setting Switch off
1-2 After 6 hours
3-4 After 5 hours
5-6 After 3 hours
7-9 After 1 hours
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed.
And the Hob will be switched off.
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has
elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting”.
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and
lands on the control panel.
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the
control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched
on again using the main On/Off control sensor after the liquid or the cloth
has been removed .
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is
shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even
after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only
after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
Important: As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of
burns.
Important: If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and
information about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be
possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the
hob.
TEMPERATURE DETECTION
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the
safety levels, should this happen then the cooking zone will automatically reduce to a
lower power level.

USING SUITABLE COOKWARE
Better pans produce better results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouration on the
ceramic glass surface. The discolouration is very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent
scratching can occur if these pan are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should
never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering
pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by
observing the following points.
• Always position pots and pans
before switching on the cooking
zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases
increase power consumption.
• When possible, position the lids
firmly on the pots and pans to
cover completely.
• Switch the cooking zones off before
the end of the cooking time to use
the residual heat for keeping foods
warm or for thawing.
• The base of the pan should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
• Using a pressure cooker reduces
cooking times by up to 50 %
