1.3 Appliance-specific safety precautions
•WARNING: If the surface is cracked or there is damage to the
material thickness, the appliance must be switched off and
disconnected from the electricity supply in order to avoid a
possible electric shock.
•WARNING: During use, the appliance and its exposed parts
become hot. Please be careful to avoid the exposed parts of
the heating elements.
•Never use a steam cleaner.
•Objects made of metal, e.g. knives, forks, spoons, covers or
aluminium foil, should not be put on the hob as they can be-
come hot.
•WARNING: Leaving fat or oil unattended on the hob can be
dangerous and can lead to fires. NEVER try to extinguish a
fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then care-
fully cover the flames with an object such as a cover or a fire
blanket.
•WARNING: Never leave objects on the hob as they pose a fire
hazard.
•The appliance must not be operated with an external time
switch or a separate remote control system.

1 Safety precautions
1.4 Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
•The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary work.
Correct use
•The appliance is designed for use in the home for preparing food. No liabil-
ity is assumed for any damage caused by improper use or incorrect hand-
ling.
•Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Cus-
tomer Services or a similarly qualified person. Repairs if carried out incor-
rectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as
well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not work-
ing properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given in the
repair service section. Please contact Customer Services if necessary.
•Use original spare parts only.
•Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell the appli-
ance or pass it on to a third party, include these operating instructions as
well as the installation instructions.
•The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards and the rel-
evant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is, however, essential
to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore follow the precautions
given in these operating instructions.
•The heated surface will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and
will only cool down slowly to room temperature. Leave a sufficient amount of
time before you carry out work such as cleaning the appliance.
Caution: Risk of burns!
•Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Never attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
Caution: Risk of injury!
•Keep pets away from the device.
8

1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk to life!
•Packaging materials, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
•In the case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow to cool
down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Do not cool with cold water
under any circumstances.
•Do not climb onto the appliance.
•To avoid damaging the silicon grouting, do not put hot cookware on the
frame.
•Do not cut or prepare food on the surface or drop hard objects onto it. Do
not drag cookware across the surface.
•Make sure than no sugary foods or juices end up on the hot cooking zones.
This can damage the surface. If sugary foods or juices do end up on the
hot cooking zones, remove these immediately with a glass ceramic hob
scraper (while the hob is still hot).
•Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
•Pots with pure copper or aluminium bases should not be used for cooking
as they leave behind traces that can be difficult to clean. If the traces are
not removed immediately after cooking with a suitable cleaning agent, they
can be permanently burned on and therefore permanently ruin the visual ap-
pearance of the appliance.
•Sliding pots and cookware across the glass ceramic causes scratches. You
can largely avoid these by lifting pots and cookware when putting them into
place.
•The hob is an item for daily use: signs of usage such as scratches or visible
material abrasion from pots or cookware are normal. Intensive use leads to
more distinctive signs of usage. In such cases, the appliance continues to
function perfectly and a complaint is not justified. Safety is always guaran-
teed.
•There is no such thing as completely scratch-proof glass; scratches can
even develop on sapphire glass, which is used in watches. The glass
ceramic used is of the best quality available on the market.

2 Disposal
Packaging
•All packaging materials (cardboard, plastic film (PE) and polystyrene (EPS))
are marked and should, if possible, be collected for recycling and disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way.
Disconnection
•Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to
be carried out by a qualified electrician!
Safety
•Disable the appliance to prevent accidents caused by improper use, espe-
cially through children playing.
•Pull the plug out of the mains socket or have the appliance disconnected
from the mains by an electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the
appliance.
•Remove or disable the lock on the appliance door.
Disposal
•The old appliance should not be discarded as worthless rubbish. If dis-
posed of correctly, the raw materials can be recovered for recycling.
•The symbol on the identification plate warns that the appliance may not
be disposed of in normal household waste.
•The appliance must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations on
waste disposal. For more information on the handling, disposal and recyc-
ling of the product, please contact the local authorities, the local recycling
facilities for household waste or the retailer from whom you purchased the
appliance.

3 Using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity sup-
ply in accordance with the separate installation instructions. Have a
qualified fitter/electrician carry out the necessary work.
Unpleasant odours can develop during the initial operating hours of a
cooking zone. This is a normal occurrence with brand-new appliances.
Ensure the quality of the ambient air is good.

4.3 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs function considerably differently to conventional hobs or solid
plates. The induction coil under the glass ceramic creates a magnetic field
that alternates quickly and which directly heats the magnetisable base of the
cookware.
The glass ceramic is only heated by the hot cookware. If the cookware is re-
moved from the cooking zone, the power supply is interrupted immediately.
Induction hobs:
•react very quickly
•can be adjusted with great precision
•are powerful
•are energy efficient
•are safe
Cookware with a fully magnetisable base is required for cooking with
an induction hob.
15

4 Your appliance
4.4 Pan detection
Every cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This recognises cookware
with a magnetisable base that is suitable for use with induction hobs.
•If the cookware is removed during operation or unsuitable cookware is
used,
– the selected power level flashes alternately with .
•If there is no cookware placed on the cooking zone during the pan detec-
tion time of 10minutes:
– The cooking zone switches off automatically.
– The display changes from to .
– The appliance switches off after 10seconds if no other cooking zone is
switched on.
4.5 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a fully magnetisable base is suitable for cooking on the in-
duction hob.
You can check this in the following way:
•A magnet adheres to every point on the entire base of the cookware.
•The selected power level for the hob is illuminated, not alternating with
the power level.
Do not heat unsuitable cookware using auxiliary parts such as metal
discs or similar. This can damage the hob.
Energy-efficient cooking
For the most efficient energy consumption and even heat distribution, please
observe the following:
•The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
•Place the cookware in the centre of the cooking zone.
•Use a lid that fits correctly.
•Adapt the size of the cookware to the load capacity.

Coated cookware
•Coated cookware when empty may never be heated at a higher power level
than .
– The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
•For frying, do not use a higher power level than .
Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any mal-
function, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
4.6 Flexible cooking
Only applicable for GK37TIMPS, GK47TIMPS and GK47TIMAS.
For flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
Pots of different sizes can be placed on every zone. However, for pan detec-
tion, must be covered.
If both circles are covered by a large pot, both heating areas can be
operated together with the bridge function.
For even frying, the pan must be centred on .
