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.

101
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.

102
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.

103
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.

104
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.
•Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using
TOUCH CONTROL sensor fields.
•Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface and
the sensor fields is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat
surface is easy to clean (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
•On/Off sensor field: The “On/Off” sensor field provides the appli-
ance with a separate mains switch. Touching this switches the
power supply on or off completely.
•Displays: Digital displays show information about selected heat set-
tings, functions activated and any possible residual heat in the ap-
propriate cooking zone.
•Safety cut-out: A safety cut-out ensures that all cooking zones
switch off automatically after a period of time if the setting has not
been changed.
•Keep warm setting: ! is the setting for keeping foods warm.
•Residual heat indicator: An hfor residual heat is shown in the dis-
play if the cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burn-
ing.
•Child safety feature: This function makes it possible to lock the hob
to prevent it being switched on unintentionally.

section “What to do if …”.
Cancelling the Safety Cut-out
To cancel the activated safety cut-out the appliance must be switched
off and then on again using the ON/OFF nsensor panel. After this
the cooking zones are again ready for use.
Switching Off for Other Reasons
Liquids that boil over onto the control panel cause all cooking zones
to switch off immediately.
If you place a wet cloth on the control panel it has the same effect. In
both cases the appliance has to be switched on again using the mains
switch nafter removing the liquid or cloth.

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 discolour-
ing 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 surface.
•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly
inwards (concave). They should never be bowed
outwards (convex).
•If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.),
please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Energy 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
cooking times by up to 50%.
