▪Do not operate the appliance
using an external time switch
or a separate remote control
system.
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 installa-
tion 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 liability
is assumed for any damage caused by
improper use or incorrect handling.
▪Any repairs, modifications or manipula-
tions to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be car-
ried out by the manufacturer, its Cus-
tomer Services or a similarly qualified
person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly
may cause serious injury, damage to
the appliance and fittings, as well as af-
fect the functioning of the appliance. If
the appliance is not working properly or
in case of a repair order, follow the in-
structions given in the «Service & Sup-
port» section. Please contact our Cus-
tomer 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,
please ensure these operating instruc-
tions accompany the appliance, to-
gether with the installation instructions.
▪The appliance corresponds to recog-
nized technology standards and the rel-
evant safety regulations. Proper use of
the appliance is essential to avoid dam-
age and accidents. Please therefore fol-
low the precautions given in these oper-
ating instructions.

1 Safety precautions
6
▪The heated surface will remain hot for
some time after it is switched off and
will cool down only slowly to room tem-
perature. Please allow sufficient time for
the appliance to cool down before, for
instance, cleaning it.
Note on use
▪Tests have shown that under normal cir-
cumstances there is no risk to cardiac
pacemaker users. If, as the user of a
cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing aid or
another type of implant), you would like
to be reassured that using the appli-
ance does not pose a risk, you are ad-
vised to consult a competent medical
authority.
Caution: Burns hazard
▪Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish burn-
ing oil or fat with water. Danger of ex-
plosion! Smother the flames with a fire
blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
Caution: Risk of injury
▪Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life
▪Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and
polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren and animals. Danger of suffoca-
tion! Keep packaging material away
from children and animals.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪In case of overheating, switch the hot-
plate off and allow it to cool down com-
pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Un-
der no circumstances use cold water to
cool it down quickly.
▪Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪Do not put hot cookware on the hob
frame in order not to damage the silic-
one joints.
▪Do not cut or prepare food on the sur-
face and avoid impact with hard ob-
jects. Do not drag cookware across the
surface.
▪Take particular care that sugary foods
or juices do not get onto the hot cook-
ing zones as this can damage the sur-
face. If sugary foods or juices do get on
to the hot cooking zones clean away
immediately (while still hot) with a
scraper.
▪Pots with pure copper or aluminium
bases should not be used for cooking
as they can 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
appearance of the appliance.
▪Sliding pans and cookware across the
glass ceramic causes scratches. This
can be largely prevented by lifting pans
and cookware up and then placing
them down in position.
▪The hob is designed to be used – signs
of use, such as scratches or the wear
and tear from pans and cookware, are
normal. The more intensively it is used,
the greater the signs of use; however,
the appliance remains in perfect work-
ing order and therefore does not give a
right of complaint. Safety is guaranteed
at all times.
▪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 Using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified fitter/electrician
carry out the necessary work.
All traces of adhesive must be removed before the appliance is used for the first
time.
During the first few hours of use, a cooking zone can give off an unpleasant smell.
This is normal for brand new appliances. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

3.3 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The induction
coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which dir-
ectly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware
from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
▪quick reacting ▪energy-efficient
▪finely adjustable ▪safe
▪powerful
Cookware with a full-surface or full magnetic base is required for cooking with an
induction hob.

3 Your appliance
3.4 Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable induction com-
patible cookware with a magnetic base.
▪If cookware is placed on a cooking zone before it is turned on, illuminates in the
corresponding display.
▪If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is used,
– the power level selected flashes alternately with .
▪If the power level is set but no cookware is detected on the cooking zone within the
next 10minutes,
– the cooking zone switches off.
– the appliance switches off after 10seconds if no other cooking zone is in use.
3.5 Flexible cooking
In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
Pans with different diameters can be placed on any cooking zone. must, however, be
covered for pan detection.
For even frying, the pan must be centred on . The diameter of the base of the
pan should not be greater than the diameter of the cooking zone.
3.6 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base (ø12.5–22cm) is suitable for use with the induc-
tion hob.
This can be tested in the following ways:
▪A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
▪Only the power level set illuminates on the hob.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings and the like.
This can damage the hob.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
▪The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪Use a well-fitting lid.
▪Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Coated cookware
▪Coated cookware may be operated above power level provided that the bottom of
the pan is completely covered with liquid.
– 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 malfunction, nor
does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes considerable disturb-
ance, it can help to change the cookware.

4 Operation
3.7 OptiGlass
Applies to CTI4T84MMSOLC, CTI4T84MMSOLD
Hobs with OptiGlass have an additional coating on the glass surface.
This coating makes the surface harder, tougher and more scratch resistant than non-
coated glass surfaces. Follow care and maintenance instructions (see page 22).
Under normal circumstances, significantly fewer scratches should occur on the
glass surface during cooking. However, even a sharp grain of sand or particle of
grit, for example, under a pan can cause scratches.
Illumination
▸ Halogen or LED light bulbs are recommended for illuminating hobs with the OptiGlass
coating.
The use of fluorescent tube lighting to illuminate hobs with the OptiGlass coating
causes the glass surface to shimmer.
3.8 Networking
Mobile devices can be connected to the hob via bluetooth using the button. With the
help of a suitable app, it allows the use of bluetooth-enabled cookware. The connections
for up to 4 different mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets can be stored in
the hob.
Due to technical standard requirements, the connection must be interrupted as
soon as the incoming signal strength at the hob is too weak. The signal strength is
influenced by both the mobile device and the ambient conditions.
