•Built-in appliances may only be used after they have been built in to suita-
ble built-in units and work surfaces that meet standards.
•In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ceramic
(cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off and dis-
connected from the electrical supply to prevent the possibility of an elec-
tric shock.
•Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by trained registered
service engineers.

5
Safety during use
•Remove stickers and film from the glass ceramic.
•There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used carelessly.
•Cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot surface of the
appliance or hot cookware.
•Overheated fats and oils can ignite very quickly. Warning! Fire hazard!
•Switch the cooking zones off after each use.
•Users with implanted pacemakers should keep their upper body at least
30 cm from induction cooking zones that are switched on.
•Risk of burns! Do not place objects made of metal, such as knives, forks,
spoons and saucepan lids on the cooking surface, as they can get hot.
Safety when cleaning
•For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
•For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or high-
pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
•The ceramic glass can be damaged by objects falling onto it.
•The edge of the ceramic glass can be damaged by being knocked by the
cookware.
•Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms
can scratch the ceramic glass if pushed across the surface.
•Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the ceramic
glass and should be removed straightaway.
•Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware.
•To avoid damaging cookware and glass ceramics, do not allow saucepans
or frying pans to boil dry.
•The ventilation gap of 5mm between the worktop and front of the unit un-
derneath it must not be covered.

Residual heat indicator
1Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the
cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indi-
cator .
3Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly
in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the re-
sidual heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature
of the electronics.

automatic warm-up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for
a certain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cook-
ing setting that was originally set.
3If during the automatic warm up a higher heat setting is selected, e.g.
from to , the automatic warm up is adjusted.
The length of time that the automatic warm up function operates depends
on the heat setting selected.

Overriding the child safety device
The child safety device can be switched off in this way for a single cooking
session; it remains activated afterwards.
3After overriding the child safety device, a heat setting or a function must be
set within approx. 10 seconds, otherwise the appliance automatically
switches itself off.
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more power available to the left induction
cooking zone, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.
The power function is activated for 10 minutes. After that the induction
cooking zone automatically switches back to heat setting 9.
3If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch
back to the heat setting set previously.
Step Control panel Display/Signal

Tips on cooking and frying
3Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, may present a health risk due to acryla-
mide. Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not
browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bot-
tom should be as thick and flat as possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolourations on the ceramic glass surface which are difficult
or impossible to remove.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material
3Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manu-
facturer.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
•... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heat-
ed within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
3Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking
zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect opera-
tion in any way.
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware material Suitable
Steel, enamelled steel yes
Cast iron yes
Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass ---
Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

17
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of
the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of
the cooking zone.
3The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.
Tips on energy saving
2Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.
