1 Safety instructions  
Please comply with these instructions. If you do not, any damage resulting is not  
covered by the warranty.  
Correct use  
This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons whose  
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge  
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruc-  
tion by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.  
Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.  
This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking and frying of  
food.  
The appliance must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.  
Additions or modifications to the appliance are not permitted.  
Do not place or store flammable liquids, highly inflammable materials or fusi-  
ble objects (e.g. plastic film, plastic, aluminium) on or near the appliance.  
Children’s safety  
Small children must be kept away from the appliance.  
Only let bigger children work on the appliance under supervision.  
To avoid small children and pets unintentionally switching the appliance on,  
we recommend activation of the child safety device.  
General safety  
The appliance may only be installed and connected by trained, registered  
service engineers.  
Built-in appliances may only be used after they have built in to suitable 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 discon-  
nected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility of an electric  
shock.  
Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by trained registered service  
engineers.  
Safety instructions  
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 appli-  
ance 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-pres-  
sure cleaning equipment is not permitted.  
How to avoid damage to the appliance  
The glass ceramic can be damaged by objects falling onto it.  
The edge of the glass ceramic can be damaged by being knocked by the cook-  
ware.  
Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms can  
scratch the glass ceramic if pushed across the surface.  
Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the glass ceramic  
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.

Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cook-  
ing zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator  
.
Residual 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 residual  
heat of the cookware.  
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of  
the electronics.

matic warm-up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for a cer-  
tain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting  
that was originally set.

If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to  
the heat setting set previously.  
Power Management  
The cooking zones of the cooking surface  
have a maximum power available to them.  
Two cooking zones make up a pair (see fig-  
ure).  
So that the Power function can always be  
carried out, Power Management may re-  
duce the power of the other cooking zone  
in the pair  
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a  
cooking zone. The Power function is  
switched on for the cooking zone paired up  
with it. The Power function is performed,  
but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cook-  
ing zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Man-  
agement reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for  
example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and  
then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates be-  
tween 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the  
size of the cooking zone.)

3 Information on acrylamides  
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-  
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-  
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures  
and not browning foods too much.  
20 Tips on Cooking and Frying  
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 or with aluminium or copper bottoms can  
leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impos-  
sible to remove.

Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.  
Suitability test  
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …  
... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated  
within a short time.  
... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.  
Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones.  
These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any  
way.  
Bottom of the cookware  
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.  
Pan size  
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the  
cookware up to a certain point. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the  
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending on the size of the cooking  
zone.
