Power Management
Theappliancehasamaximumpoweroutput.If
this maximum power is exceeded, thePower
Management automaticallyreduces the power
of the last cooking zone to be switched on.
This can happen by:
•switching on another cooking zone
•switching on an outer ring, when other cook-
ing zones are already switched on at high
settings
•increasing the heat setting on a cooking
zone,whenother cookingzonesare already
switched on at high settings
The display for the last cookingzone to be
switched on alternates for 1 minute between
the heat setting set andthe maximumpossible
heatsetting.Duringthisperioditisnotpossible
to increase the heat setting. Thereafter the ac-
tual heat setting is displayed.
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a cook-
ing zone. Heat setting 9 is also set for another
cookingzone.Ifthisexceedsthemaximumout-
put,thePowerManagementreducesthepower
of the last cooking zone to be switched from 9
to 7, for example, and the display forthis cook-
ing zone alternates between 9 and 7 and then
remains on the current maximum of 7.(Wheth-
er the display alternates between 9 and 7 or 9
and 6 or other values, depends on the appli-
ance type andthe size ofthe cooking zone.)

Tips on Cooking and Frying
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowl-
edge,intensivebrowningoffood,especial-
ly in products containing starch, can
constituteahealthriskduetoacrylamides.
Therefore werecommend cooking at the
lowestpossible temperaturesand not
browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware from the
bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be
as thick and flat as possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel orwith
aluminium or copper bottoms can leave dis-
colorations on the glass ceramic surface
which are difficult or impossible to remove.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on.
2If possible,always place lids onthe pans.
2Switchcookingzonesoffbeforetheendof
the cooking time, to take advantage of re-
sidual heat.

Installation Instructions
1Safety instructions
Warning! This must be read!
Thelaws,ordinances,directivesandstandards
inforce inthecountryofuseareto befollowed
(safety regulations, proper recycling in accord-
ance with the regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out bya quali-
fied electrician.
The minimum distances to otherappliances
and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the
installation, for example drawers may only be
installed with a protective floor directly under-
neath the appliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be pro-
tected against moisture using a suitable seal-
ant.
Thesealantsealstheappliancetotheworktop
with no gap.
Avoidinstallingtheappliancenexttodoorsand
under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may
be knocked off the rings when doors and win-
dows are opened.
zRisk of injury from electrical cur-
rent.
•The electrical mains terminal is live.
•Make electrical mainsterminal free ofvolt-
age.
•Follow connection schematic.
•Observe electrical safety rules.
•Ensure anti-shock protection by installing
correctly.
•The appliance must be connected to the
electrical supply by a qualified electrician.
zRisk of injury from electrical cur-
rent.
•Looseand inappropriate plugand socket
connectionscanmaketheterminaloverheat.
•Have the clamping connections correctly in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
•Use strain relief clamp on cable.
•In the event of single-phase or two-phase
connection, the appropriate mains cableof
type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C(or higher) or an
equivalent type must be used.
•Ifthisappliance’smainscableisdamaged,it
must be replaced by a special cable (type
H05BB-F Tmax90°C;orhigher)oranequiv-
alent type. The latter isavailable from the
Customer Care Department.
A device must be provided in the electrical in-
stallation which allows the appliance to be dis-
connectedfrom themains atall poles with a
contact opening widthof at least3 mm.
Suitable isolation devicesinclude line protect-
ing cut-outs, fuses (screw typefuses are tobe
removed from the holder), earth leakage trips
and contactors.
Sticking on the seal
•Clean the worktop around the cut-out area.
•Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape
providedontheundersideofthehobaround
the outside edge ensuring that it is not
stretched. The two ends of the tape should
join in the middle of one side. After trimming
the tape (allow it to overlap by 2-3 mm),
press the two ends together.
