1 Safety precautions
1.2 General safety precautions
•Read the operating instructions before using the appliance for
the first time!
•This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental cap-
abilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided
they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use
of the appliance and have understood the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without su-
pervision.
•If an appliance is not equipped with a mains cable and a plug
or other means for disconnecting from the mains with a con-
tact opening on each pole complying with the conditions of
overvoltage category III for full isolation, an isolating device
must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical
installation in accordance with the installation regulations.
•If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer or its Customer Services or a sim-
ilarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
5

1 Safety precautions
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.
•After use, switch the hob off using the controls and do not
rely on the pan detector.
•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.
Note on use
•Tests have shown that under normal circumstances there is no risk to car-
diac 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 appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a competent
medical authority.

1 Safety precautions
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.
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.
8

1 Safety precautions
•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.
9

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.
10

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.
Where is the identification plate located?
The identification plate and connection plate are located on the underside of
the hob.
1 2
1Identification plate with serial number (FN)

A second identification plate is enclosed and should be affixed to the built-in
cabinet under the hob.
Make a note of the serial number (FN) of your appliance on the last page of
these operating instructions.
The serial number is required for identifying the appliance. Only then
can customer services guarantee a faultless service.
