OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manu-
facturers 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 contact your local AEG customer center or your
dealer.
3 Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the
event of damages.
•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa-
tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical 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.

25
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.
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 in-
structions in this manual.

26
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.
•Glass ceramic is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust;
however 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
cooking 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 dam-
aged when it is removed.
•Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the glass ce-
ramic surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If some-
thing of this nature should melt onto the glass ceramic surface, it
must also be removed immediately using the scraper.

27
2 Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
•All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded
polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of
packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.
•Please follow the national and regional regulations and material
identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal
sites).
Information on disposal
•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse
disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.
•Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove the mains lead.

28
The Key Features of Your Appliance
•Glass ceramic cooking surface: The appliance has a glass ce-
ramic 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 glass ceramic cooking surface is its
easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see sec-
tion: “Cleaning and care”).
•Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a dou-
ble-ring cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking
zone with a variable size, for instance for smaller pots. This is a sav-
ing 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
cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

Operating the Hob
3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a
characteristic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the appliance.
3 The cooking zones are operated and multiple ring zones activated
using 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. A power
indicator lights up below the sensor field.
2. Within 10 seconds, touch the “Switch on” sensor field. The power in-
dicator below the “Activate” sensor field goes out and the corre-
sponding power indicator below the “Switch on” sensor field is
illuminated. The warming zone is now switched on.
3. To switch it off, touch the "Switch off" sensor field. The power indica-
tor below the "Switch on" sensor field goes out.
3 The warming zone can be used independently of the other cooking
zones.
The warming zone is used to keep food warm.
Residual heat indicator
The ceramic cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a
control lamp is allocated to each cooking zone. This lights up as soon
the corresponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant
contact.
The remaining heat lamp only goes out when the cooking zone has
cooled down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
2 You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
1 Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there
is a risk of burns.
