Before first use
If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-up liquid. Do
not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause scratches, abrasive
dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
During initial use, characteristic "new appliance smell" may appear; it will gradually disappear.
7
Glass ceramic cooking surface
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob, the
hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or only after
a while.
• If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut off the power supply to the appliance.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
• Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone. The cooking zone may be damaged if you
place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry
to allow conduction of heat.
Tips regarding your cookware
• Use quality cookware with flat and stable
bottom.
• Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters
should be the same.
• Tempered glass cookware with special
ground bottom may be used on the cooking
zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking
zones. Cookware with larger diameter may
crack due to thermal tension.
• Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle
of the cooking zone.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached. First, set the
cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker manufacturer's instructions,
use the relevant sensor to decrease the cooking power at the right time.
• Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to overheating,
using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the pot and the cooking
zone.
• When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Energy saving tips
• When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the
upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
• If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sufficient
liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat
which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the amount
of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more energy.

Cleaning and maintenance
After each use, wait for the glass ceramic surface to cool down and clean it. Otherwise, all remaining
impurities will burn onto the hot surface the next time you use the hob.
For regular maintenance of the glass ceramic hob, use special care products that create a protective
film on the surface to prevent the dirt from sticking onto it.
Before each use of the glass ceramic surface, wipe off the dust or any other impurities that could
scratch the surface, from both the hob and the pan bottom.
INFORMATION!
Steel wool, coarse cleaning sponges, and abrasive powders may scratch the surface. The surface
may also be damaged by aggressive spray cleaners and unsuitable liquid cleaners.
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive cleaners or cookware with coarse or damaged
bottom.
Use a damp soft cloth to remove minor impurities. Then, wipe the surface dry.
Remove water stains with a mild solution of vinegar. However, do not use this solution to wipe the
frame (only with some models) as it may lose its sheen. Do not use aggressive spray cleaners or
descaling agents.
Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn dirt. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Be
sure to thoroughly remove any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the
glass ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up.
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent
injury.
INFORMATION!
The scraper is not included in appliance equipment.
INFORMATION!
Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet cloth
or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces.
Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°). Gently press the
scraper against the glass and slide it over the signage to remove
the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of the scraper (in some
models) does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone.
INFORMATION!
Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against the glass and do not scratch the hob
surface with its tip or blade.
Immediately remove any sugar or sugar-laden food from the glass ceramic hob using a scraper, even
if the hob is still hot, as sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface.

their correct operation.
Flush-mount installation into the worktop
Appliances without faceted edges or decorative frames, are suitable for flush mounting.
23
Installing the appliance
The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant countertop, such as a
countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or solid wood (the edges along the cut-out have
to be sealed). When installing into a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden sub-frame
should be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only be installed
into a countertop made of other materials after you have consulted the countertop manufacturer and
obtained his express approval. Internal dimension of the basic unit should be at least equal to the
internal cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance from the countertop.
Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the glass panel.
First, feed the power cord through the cutout. Place the appliance over the centre of the cutout.
Connect the appliance to the power mains (see instructions for connecting the appliance). Before
sealing the appliance, test its operation. Seal the slot between the appliance and the countertop using
a silicone sealant. The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance has to be temperature-resistant (to
at least 160 °C). Smooth out the silicone sealant using a suitable tool. Observe the instructions for
use of the selected silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant has dried
completely.

WARNING!
Pay particular attention to built-in dimensions with (natural) stone countertops. When choosing
the silicone sealant, observe the countertop material and consult the countertop manufacturer.
Use of inappropriate silicone sealants can result in permanent discolouration of some parts.
Removing the built-in appliance
Disconnect the appliance from the powermains. Use a suitable tool to remove the silicone gasket from
the perimeter. Remove the appliance by pushing it upwards from the bottom side.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove the appliance from the upper side of countertop.
WARNING!
The service department shall only be responsible for repair and servicing of the cooking hob.

Fitting the foam gasket
INFORMATION!
Some appliances come with the gasket already fitted!
Before installing the appliance into a kitchen worktop, attach the foam gasket supplied with the
appliance to the bottom side of the glass ceramic hob. Remove the protective film from the gasket.
Attach the gasket to the bottom side of the glass (2–3 mm away from the edge). The gasket has to
be applied along the entire edge of the glass. The gasket may not overlap in the corners. When fitting
the gasket, make sure it is not damaged by or in contact with any sharp objects.
WARNING!
Do not install the appliance without the gasket!
