Operating Instructions
1Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical stand-
ards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we
also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety
instructions.
Electrical Safety
•The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service
engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury
or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing, please con-
tact your local customer center or your dealer.
3Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any
damage that may occur.
•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in
suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform to the rele-
vant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against contact for elec-
trical units as required by the VDE [Association of German Electrical
Engineers].
•If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
–switch off all cooking zones,
–disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep
small children away from the appliance.
Safety During Use
•This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the
home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
•Do not use the hob to heat the room.
•Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near the
hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.
•Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking
when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
•Switch off the cooking zones after use.

31
Safety When Cleaning
•For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high
pressure cleaner.
•Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instruc-
tions in this manual.
To Avoid Damaging Your Appliance
•Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
•Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans are
empty.
•Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust; how-
ever it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on
the cooking surface can damage it.
•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base.
Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
•Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the
paint may occur.
•Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents,
are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
•If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot cook-
ing zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately with a scraper
while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be damaged when it is re-
moved.
•Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this na-
ture should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed
immediately using the scraper.

32
2Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
All materials used can be fully recycled.
Plastics are marked as follows:
•>PE< for polyethylene, as used for the outer wrapping and the bags in-
side.
•>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g., as used for the padding materials. They
are completely free of CFCs.
Disposal of old appliances
1Warning: Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable
so that they cannot be the source of danger.
To do this, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and remove
the mains lead.
To protect the environment, it is important that worn out appliances are dis-
posed of in the correct manner.
•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse dispos-
al sites from your local refuse department or council.

33
The Key Features of Your Appliance
•Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass
cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The particularly
powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of time
taken for the zones to heat up.
•Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface is its easy
cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see section: “Clean-
ing and care”).
•Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a double-
ring cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking zone with a
variable size, for instance for smaller pots. This is a saving in energy.
•Frying zone: The hob has a special frying zone. This can be set to either
the round or the oval shape, for example when using a fryer.
•Warming zone: This cooking surface has an oval warming zone, on which
crockery or food can be kept warm.
•Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indicator lights up if the cook-
ing zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.
1Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could be
damaged.
Operating the Hob
3When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a character-
istic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the func-
tion or the life of the appliance.
3The cooking zones are operated and multiple ring zones activated us-
ing the ring switches on the cooker or switch box as described in the
relevant set of instructions.
Activating the Warming Zone
1.Touch the “Activate” sensor field for approx. 2 seconds. The control indi-
cator lights up.

36
2.Within 10 seconds, touch the “Switch on” sensor field. The “Activate”
sensor field control indicator goes out and the “Switch on” sensor field
control indicator lights up. Th warming zone is now switched on.
3.To switch it off, touch the “Switch off” sensor field. The “Switch on” sen-
sor field control indicator goes out.
3The warming zone can be used independently of the other cooking zones.
The warming zone is used to keep food warm.

37
Residual heat indicator
The ceramic cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a con-
trol lamp is allocated to each cooking zone. This lights up as soon the corre-
sponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant contact.
The residual heat indicator only goes out when the cooking zone has cooled
down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
2You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
1Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a
risk of burns.
1Important! If the power supply is interrupted the residual heat indicator also
go out and information about residual heat will no longer be available. How-
ever, it is still possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by being partic-
ularly attentive.

38
Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick
and flat as possible.
•Pay particular attention when buying new pans 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 discolouring on
the glass ceramic surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove.
•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base.
This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the sur-
face.
•When cold, pan bases are normally
bowed slightly inwards (concave). They
should never be bowed outwards (con-
vex).
•If you wish to use special types of pan
(e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan,
wok, etc.), please observe the manu-
facturer's instructions.
2Energy 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.
•Whenever possible always position the
lids firmly on pots and pans to cover
completely.
•Switch off the cooking zones before
the end of the cooking time to use the
residual heat such as to keep foods
warm or for melting.
•The base of the pan should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
•Using a pressure cooker reduces cook-
ing times by up to 50%.

39
Settings for Cooking on the Rings
The setting position required for cooking processes is dependent on the
quality of the pots and on the type and amount of the food.
3When heating up or frying, we recommend heat setting “9", and then con-
tinue cooking foods at an appropriate lower heat setting.

Cleaning and Care
Hob
1Important: Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot ce-
ramic glass surface! All cleaning agents must be removed with plenty of
clean water after cleaning because they can have a caustic effect when the
rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse
scourers or abrasive pan cleaners.
3Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is warm to the touch
or cold. This will avoid spillages becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and discolouration with a metallic
shimmer using a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel
cleaner.
Light Soiling
1.Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little washing up
liquid.
2.Then rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaner must not be left on
the surface.
3.Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once a week
with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
4.Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water and rub
dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1.To remove food that has boiled over or
stubborn splashes, use a glass scrap-
er.
2.Place the glass scraper at an angle to
the ceramic glass surface.
3.Remove soiling by sliding the blade.
3You can obtain glass scrapers and ce-
ramic glass cleaners from specialist re-
tailers.

41
1Problem Dirt
1.Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic,
aluminium foil or other meltable materi-
als with a glass scraper immediately
and while still hot.
1Important: There is a risk of burning your-
self when the glass scraper is used on a
hot cooking zone!
2.Then clean the hob normally when it has
cooled down.
3If the cooking zone on which something
has melted has already cooled down,
warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface, caused for example
by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However, they do not
impair the function of the hob.
Hob Frame
1Important! Do not put vinegar, lemon-juice or scale removers on the hob
frame, otherwise dull spots will appear.
1.Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2.Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe off and rub dry.
