1.3 Touch-Control operations
Each key operation is always confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Pressing the on/off switch key 1switches on the control system: Put your finger on the button until a "0" lights up
at all of the cooking level displays and the cooking zone standby dot §flashes. The next action must be carried
out within ten seconds, otherwise the control system will automatically switch off again.
To switch on a cooking zone, press the corresponding cooking zone key 0of the required cooking zone. The
appropriate stand-by dot cooking zone §of the activated cooking zone lights up.
Select a cooking level from 1 to 9 by means of the minus or plus keys7/8. When switched on, each cooking zone
can be switched off again at any time. To do this, the required cooking zone must be activated, the stand-by dot §
lights up.
The minus key 7can be used to turn the cooling level down to "0"; if the minus and plus keys 7+8are pressed
at the same time, the cooling level can be switched off directly.
In all cases the complete control system can be switched off at any time by pressing the on/off key 1: To switch
off the entire cooking range place your finger briefly on the on/off switch until the control lights go out.
Pressing locking key 2prevents all the keys - with the exception of the on/off key - from being operated by
mistake. Successful locking is indicated by the control lamp 3. Pressing the locking key 2cancels this command
again.

Parboiling boost
Switch on the cooking zone by means of corresponding
cooking zone button 0. Press the minus key 7and select
cooking level 9. Then switch on the parboiling boost by means
of the plus key 8. During the parboiling stage, the cooking
level display "switches continuously between the "A" sign
(parboiling boost) and the cooking level which has been set.
Now you can select the subsequent cooking level 1 - 8. If you
quit cooking level 9 without selecting a subsequent cooking
level from 1-8, then the parboil boost is shut off automatically
after 10 seconds. The parboiling boost time depends on the
subsequent cooking level which has been selected. Details
are given in the accompanying time chart.
If the plus key 8is selected after the required subsequent
cooking level has been selected, the parboiling boost time is
adjusted upwards in accordance with the time chart. If the
minus key 7is pressed after the required subsequent cooking
level has been deselected, the parboiling boost is stopped
beforehand.
Switching on the second element
Switching on the second element of the appropriate twin-element cooking zone can only be carried out after
activating and switching on the appropriate cooking zone. Switch on the second heating element by means of the
second element key 9. The control lamp !lights up, the outer element is switched on. To switch off, the twin-
element cooking zone must be activated and the second element key 9operated. The control lamp !goes out,
the outer element is switched off.
Pot Recognition (PR)
If your range is equipped with Pot Recognition the PR will check whether a metal pot is on the cooking zone after
a cooking level has been selected. If no pot is recognized, a uwill appear in the display and the heating element
will remain inactive. If a pot is now placed on the cooking zone within 10 minutes, the heating element will turn
itself on and the selected cooking level will appear in the display. Cooking zones with two-circuit heating or frying
zone will automatically be re-powered, i.e., the PR also recognizes the size of the pot. If no pot is placed on the
cooking zone, the range will turn off after 10 minutes for safety reasons.
The PR recognizes only metal pots. To be able to cook with non-metallic cooking ware, as well, the PR can be
turned off for each cooking zone. To do this, the required cooking zone 0must be activated §and a cooking level
selected. Now the two-circuit button 9and then the corresponding cooking zone button should be 0pressed.
Cooking can now be done without PR. The two-circuit heating or frying zone can now be re-powered by means of
the two-circuit button 9.
To reactivate PR, turn off the cooking zone. When the cooking zone is turned on again, PR will again be active.
When can Pot Recognition be switched off?
1. When using non-metallic pots.
2. For pots which, because of their size or material, switch on the outer element in the case
of multiple circuit cooking zones without sufficiently covering them.
For safety reasons, turn off the cooking zone after use by means of the Touch-Control, so that the shifting of
pots or setting down of metal objects does not accidentally activate a cooking zone while PR is still turned on.
Timer
The timer can be used for automatically switching off a cooking zone after a pre-set time of between 1 and
99 minutes. The required cooking zone must be activated, stand-by dot §lights up. Select a cooking level from
1 to 9 by means of the minus or plus keys 7/8. Then press timer key 4. The timer display 5shows "00". Select
the required cooking time between 1 and 99 minutes by means of the minus or plus keys 7/8. The control lamp
6of the selected cooking zone lights up.

The selected cooking time can be altered at any time. Activate the relevant cooking zone, press timer key 4and
change the cooking time by means of the plus or minus keys 7/8.
When the pre-set cooking time has finished, the cooking zone switches off automatically and an acoustic signal
sounds for two minutes. This can be switched off by pressing any key.
If you want to switch the timer off beforehand, press cooking zone key 0and timer key 4. The minus key 7can
now be used to set the timer 5to "00", or alternatively this can be done by simultaneously pressing the minus and
the plus keys 7/8.
The timer can also be used as an egg timer when none of the cooking zones are activated. In this case, no cooking
zone should be activated when the timer 4is being set (the stand-by dot cooking zone §does not light up).
Safety switch-off
Continuous operation of each individual cooking zone is
temporally limited by a safety shut-off which switches off the
cooking zone in accordance with the selected cooking level
after a specified time interval. The intervention times of this
safety device are included in the attached time table. When
the safety shut-off has switched off the touch control system,
a "0" is shown in the cooking level display ", or an "H" if there
is still any residual heat left. Pressing the on/off switch key
makes the control system ready for operation again.
If more than one key is pressed simultaneously - with the
exception of the minus and plus keys - the control system will
not accept this as a valid command. If one or more keys are
activated for longer than 30 seconds, for example by boiling
over or the weight for a pan, the control system assumes that
there is an error and switches off automatically. If key
operation continues, a constant acoustic signal sounds.

2. Things to watch out for
2.1 Notes on the right types of saucepans
Use only pots and pans with bottoms that are firm, even and as thick as possible. This applies particularly to
cooking with high temperatures, e.g. deep-frying. Uneven bottoms extend cooking times and increase energy
consumption. The best transmission result is obtained when the pots and the cooking zone are of equal dimension.
Always use a lid. Energy is wasted if you cook without a lid placed correctly on the pan.
In order to work directly on the cook zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain if
their bottoms are flat polished. Please heed the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always take away overflow food.
Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Afterwards, switch on the elements to the
highest level one after the other, without pots, for three minutes in order to eliminate any
odours due to newness or and so that any moisture that may still be in the heating element
may evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly.
2.2 Important
Attention: The surfaces of the heating and hotplate zones become hot during use. Keep
small children away at all times.
Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the
material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the
ceramic hob to break. If careless treatment results in a break, split or crack, the ceramic hob must immediately be
taken out of use and disconnected from the mains power supply. To do this, switch off the safety switch for the
oven connection in the fuse box. Customer Service must be contacted.
Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a storage area! Never prepare food in aluminium foil and plastic containers
on the hot cooking area.
Do not switch the hob on without using it for cooking. Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects
directly underneath the hotplates.
Overheated oil and fat can catch fire; for this reason, never leave food unattended which is cooked with fat or oil,
e.g. chipped potatoes. In addition, make sure that leads from electrical appliances plugged into nearby sockets
cannot come into contact with the hotplates.
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!

16 223175
3. Cleaning and Care
Always clean the hotplates after they have cooled down. Even the slightest
amount of dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only
recommended cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders
scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and
damage the surface.
Light amounts of dirt
Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface.
Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a
calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface. If these
agents come into contact with the frame, wipe them off with a wet cloth,
otherwise the frame looses its gloss.
Heavy dirt
Use "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel", "Stahlfix" or "Cerafix" to remove heavy
dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect
than wipe off completely with cold water; then dry the surface thoroughly.
Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is
reheated.
Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper cwhich
can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops or from our
after-sales service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If you buy a glass
scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this will stick to the
hot surface. Take care when using the scraper.
Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic
surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In
order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately
removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot d, e.
Changes to the colour of the ceramic hotplates
These have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These
colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were
not removed and which have burnt in.
Metallic iridescent discolouring gis caused by wear from pan bottoms or
unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can only be removed with great
difficulty with "Sidol Special for Stainless Steel" or "Stahlfix". You may have to
clean several times to remove the discolouring.
Worn decoration h. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will
appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms.
Remove melted sugar and food containing sugar immediately while still hot with
a glass scraper c, otherwise damage may be caused to the surface d, e.
If cared for properly your hob will remain beautiful for many years and cleaning
will be easier.
To care for your hob we recommend that you use "Cerafix". The high silicone
percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off water and
dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean your hob and
the hotplates regularly.

4. Fitting
4.1 Electrical connections
( For connected loads and model designation see front of the instructions)
This appliance may only be connected to the electricity supply by an approved electrician who must ensure
that the installation complies with the statutory regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV,
etc.). The electrician must ensure that these regulations and those laid down by the local electricity supply
company are observed.
When connecting the electrical appliance, install an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at
least 3 mm. Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the voltage on the nameplate.
To connect the appliance, unscrew the switchbox cover on the underside of the appliance to access the
terminal block. After connecting the appliance, replace the cover and secure the connection cable with the
strain relief clamp.
The connection cable must be at least HO5 VVF.
Make sure that the excess cable length is not laid in the hob’s installation area.
See Fig. 4 for the position of the cable cut-out.
Connection options
4.2 Maintenance and repair work
Before repair work is carried out, disconnect the appliance from the mains. If you have to contact our service
department, always quote the type and make numbers. You can find these numbers on the nameplate or on
page 1 of the Operating Instructions. Each time the glass ceramic hob is removed from the worktop, check the
seals and replace if necessary.
4.3 Working surface cut-out
Carry out all cutting out of furniture units and worktops before fitting the
appliance, and remove all sawdust and chips.
The dimensions of the worktop recess can be seen in the dimension
drawing (Figs. 1+2).
The worktop and the hob must be fitted horizontally. A tilted hob is
under tension and this increases the danger of breaking.

18 223175
4.4 Installation
Before installing the hob, check that the all-round hob seal has no gaps.
If the hob is installed in a worktop with a ceramic or similar cover (tiles), remove the hob seal and seal the hob
from the worktop with a plastic seal, such as heat-resistant silicone rubber.
Important! If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side panels, drawers, etc.), then an
intermediate bottom must be inserted in order to prevent accidental contact with the underside of the
cooking surface. The intermediate bottom may only be capable of removal by means of tools and must
be attached with a minimum distance of 20 mm to the underside of the cooking surface so that the mains
connection cable does not touch the underside of the cooking surface (Fig. 4).
If the cooking surface is to be inserted over a built-in baking oven, then it must be equipped with a cooling
fan. An intermediate bottom is not necessary in this case.
No cross-bars may be in the area of the cut-out underneath.
Place the hob carefully into the cut-out and fasten it to the worktop with the fasteners.
Screw the springs into the worktop as shown in the drawing. The hob is then pressed carefully from above into the
retaining springs.
When screwing the springs, always use the upper hole of the spring, unless the worktop is tiled. (Fig. 3)
In order to facilitate installation in worktops made of granite or similar material, we have included special
fastening springs, self-tapping screws and snap-on nuts (See [Fig. 2a, 3a] drawings). Insert front and rear
snap-on nuts into range. Do not overextend springs when bolting!
Make sure that the worktop and the hob are horizontal. In addition, make sure that no liquids can penetrate
between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into contact with any
electrical appliances. Use sealing sections, strips, agents, etc. For the purposes of fire safety this appliance is a
Type Y appliance. This means that it can be installed with its rear side and one of the other sides in contact with
room or unit walls of any height. The other sides may only be in contact with furniture or other appliances with the
same height as the appliance.
