PARTS AND FEATURES
COMPONENTS
Ceramic Glass Hob Installation Brackets Screws
THE KEY FEATURES OF YOUR APPLIANCE
• Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic glass cooking
surface and four rapid - response cooking zones. The hob’s powerful radiant heater
elements significantly shorten the amount of time required for the zones to heat up.
• Touch control sensors: Your appliance is operated using touch control sensors.
• Easy cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface and the control
sensors is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat surface is easy to clean.
• On/Off sensor: The “On/Off” control sensor provides the appliance with a separate
mains switch. Touching this sensor switches the power supply on or off completely.
• Control and function indicators: Digital displays and indicator lights provide
information about settings and activated functions, as well as the presence of
residual heat in the various cooking zones.
• Safety shutoff: A safety shutoff ensures that cooking zones switch off automatically
after a period of time if the setting has not been changed.
• Residual heat indicator: An icon for residual heat appears in the display if the
cooking zone is so hot that there is a risk of burning.
• Double cooking zone: The cooking surface features a double cooking zone. This
provides the appliance with a cooking zone of variable size, for instance, for when
cooking with smaller cookware. This allows savings in energy.
• Multipurpose cooking zone: The hob is equipped with a multipurpose / casserole
cooking zone. Depending on the setting, it can be used as a round or oval cooking
zone, for example, for when cooking with oval casseroles or for keeping dishes or
food warm.
• Digital displays: The four display fields are assigned to the four cooking zones.
They show the following information:
-
the appliance has been switched on,
-
to
selected heat settings,
-
residual heat,
-
the child lock is activated
-
error message, the sensor has been touched for longer than 10
seconds.
-
error message, when the hob is overheated because of abnormal
operation. (example : operation with empty cookware)

SAFETY SHUTOFF
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted after an
extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with
(for “hot”) in the digital displays
corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.
Heat setting Switch off
1-2 After 6 hours
3-4 After 5 hours
5-6 After 3 hours
7-9 After 1 hours
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed.
And the Hob will be switched off.
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has
elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting”.
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and
lands on the control panel.
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the
control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched
on again using the main On/Off control
sensor after the liquid or the cloth
has been removed.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is
shown with an
(for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even
after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only
after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
If the power supply is interrupted, the
symbol will go out and information about
residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be possible to burn
yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the hob.
TEMPERATURE DETECTION
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the
safety levels, should this happen then the cooking zone will automatically reduce to a
lower power level.

USING SUITABLE COOKWARE
Better pans produce better results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• When buying new pans, pay particular attention 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 discolouration on the
ceramic glass surface. The discolouration is very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent
scratching can occur if these pan are 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 a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering
pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
• When possible, position the lids
firmly on the pots and pans to
cover completely.
• Switch the cooking zones off before
the end of the cooking time to use
the residual heat for keeping foods
warm or for thawing.
• 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 %.

CLEANING AND CARE
cleaning and care
HOB
Cleaning agents must not come into contact with a heated ceramic glass surface:
All cleaning agents must be removed with adequate amounts of clean water after
cleaning because they can have a caustic effect when the surface becomes hot.
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, scouring pads or
abrasive pan cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is still warm to the touch.
This will prevent spillage from becoming burnt onto the surface. Remove scales,
watermarks, fat drippings and metallic discolouration with the use of a commercially
available ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner.
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.
2. Rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaning agent 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. Wipe the ceramic glass surface using adequate amounts of clean water and
rub dry with a clean lint - free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled over and stubborn
splashes, use a glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the ceramic
glass surface.
3. Remove soiling by scraping with the blade.
Glass scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners are
available from specialty retailers.
WARNING

30_ cleaning and care
Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other materials with
a glass scraper immediately and while still hot.
There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot
cooking zone:
2. Clean the hob as normal when it has cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which something has melted has been allowed to
cool, warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark blemishes on the ceramic glass
surface, caused, for example, by a pan with sharp
edges, cannot be removed. However, they do not
impair the function of the hob.
HOB FRAME (OPTION)
Do not use vinegar, lemon juice or scale remover on the hob frame; otherwise dull
blemishes will appear.
1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.
2. Moisten dried debris with a wet cloth. Wipe and rub dry.
TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate a cooking zone if there is no pan on the hob or if the pan is
empty.
• Ceramic glass is very tough and resistant to temperature shock, but it is not
unbreakable.
It can be damaged by a particularly sharp or hard object dropping onto the
hob.
• Do not place pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the finish
may occur.
• Avoid spilling acidic liquids, for example, vinegar, lemon juice and descaling
agents, onto the hob frame, since such liquids can cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation containing sugar comes into contact with a hot
cooking zone and melts, it should be cleaned off immediately with a kitchen
scraper while it is still hot. If allowed to cool, it may damage the surface when
removed.
• Keep all items and materials that could melt, for example, plastics, aluminium
foil and oven foils, away from the ceramic glass surface. If something of this
nature melts onto the hob, it must be removed immediately with a scraper.

FAQS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
A fault may result from a minor error that you can correct yourself with the help of the
following instructions. Do not attempt any further repairs if the following instructions do
not help in each specific case.
Repairs to the appliance are to be performed only by a qualified service technician.
Improperly effected repairs may result in considerable risk to the user. If your
appliance needs repair, please contact your customer service centre.
What should I do if the cooking zones are not functioning?
Check for the following possibilities:
• The fuse in the house wiring (fuse box) is intact. If the fuses trip a number of
times, call an authorised electrician.
• The appliance is properly switched on.
• The control indicators in the control panel are illuminated.
• The cooking zone is switched on.
• The cooking zones are set at the desired heat settings.
What should I do if the cooking zones will not switch on?
Check for the following possibilities:
• A period of more than 10 seconds has elapsed between when the On/Off
button was actuated and the desired cooking zone switches on (see the
section “Switching the appliance on”).
• The control panel is partially covered by a damp cloth or liquid.
What should I do if the display except for the residual warmth
indicator suddenly disappears?
This could be a result of one of two possibilities:
• The On/Off sensor was accidentally actuated.
• The control panel is partially covered by a damp cloth or liquid.
What should I do if, after the cooking zones have been switched
off, residual warmth is not indicated in the display?
Check for the following possibility:
• The cooking zone was only briefly used and therefore did not become hot
enough. If the cooking zone is hot, please call the customer service centre.
What should I do if the cooking zone will not switch on or off?
This could be due to one of the following possibilities:
• The control panel is partially covered by a damp cloth or liquid.
• The child safety lock is on.

32_ warranty and service
What should I do if the display is illuminated?
Check for the following:
• The control panel is partially covered by a damp cloth or liquid. To reset,
press the “On/Off” control sensor.
What does it mean when the burner does not glow red?
• The selected temperature of the cooking zone is maintained by a sensor
that cycles the zone on and off, so the surface cooking area will not always
glow red. If you select a low heat setting, the heat will cycle on and off more
frequently than at higher settings. The heat also cycles on and off at the
highest setting.
What should I do if the display is illuminated?
Check for the following:
• The hob is overheated because of abnormal operation.
• After hob is cooled down, press the “On/Off” control sensor for resetting.
If you request a service call because of an error made in operating the appliance,
the visit from the customer service technician may incur a charge even during the
warranty period.
