Safety instructions
■
■
■
The cooktop must be built into a countertop opening! Do not use the
appliance if it has not been installed!
■
■
The connecting cable must not come in contact with the hot cooking
surface.
Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
Don’t switch the cooking surface on unless you’re using it for cooking.
Never use a cooking zone without a pot or pan set on it. Never use the
appliance to heat a room!
The appliance may only be installed and connected to the power
supply, maintained, and repaired by a qualified electrician in
accordance with safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.
Work performed incorrectly puts your safety at risk.
■
■
Never leave the cooking surface unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover can cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not
come in contact with the cooking surface. Dish cloths, potholders
and aprons should not be stored near the surface units.
■
This appliance is for residential use only. Use for any other purpose
is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer
can’t be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of this
appliance.
■
■
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the untensil, the handle of
an utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
■
■
■
■
Danger of burning! The cook top becomes hot
during operation. CAUTION! Keep children away
from this appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch a hot
surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
CAUTION! Items of interest to children should not be stored in cab-
inets above a cooktop. A child can be seriously injured by climbing
on a cooktop to reach them.
■ CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions!
Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or un-
attended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
■
Do not place non-food items on the cooking surface when it's hot.
Do not touch the cooking surface or areas near it. The cooking
surface may be hot even though it’s dark in color. Areas near it may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch the surface, or let clothing or other flammable materials come
in contact with it until it had time to cool.
■
Be careful when working with attachments! The connecting cord
must not come in contact with the hot cooking surface.
■
Do not put plastic on the cooking surface. Things that can melt
(i.e. plastics, foils or sugar), must be kept away from the cooking
surface. Be sure to immediately remove or lift off any melted
item from the hot cooking surface. Use the supplied cleaning
scraper in order to avoid damage to the cooking surface.
■
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with some surface
units of different size. Select untensils habing flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
derekt contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner wil also improve efficiency. See also
„Selecting pots and pans“ on page 8.
Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
Do not place combustible or inflammable objects upon the cooking
top which might be dangerous in case of unintentional switching on.
■
■
Clean and remove any burned-on materials. Don’t heat these
materials repeatedly.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■
■
■
Lime deposits are harmful to the cooking surface.
Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions carefully!
■
■
Protective liners – Do not use aluminium foil to line surface unit drip
bowls. Improper installation may result in a risk of fire.
Before using the first time
– Before using the appliance the first time, be sure to clean the cooking sur-
face with a mixture of water and mild detergent on a clean cloth. Then wipe
the surface dry with a non-fluffy cloth.
The glass ceramic surface is very durable and can easily withstand
light to medium impacts and loads distributed over large areas. Be
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling on
the surface to avoid cracking or breaking the cooking surface.
■ CAUTION! If the cooking surface becomes cracked or fractured, quit
using the appliance immediately. Disconnect the power and call
Customer Service. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
■
Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can
ignite!
■
CAUTION! Overheated greases and oils may ignite themselves.
Prepare meals with greases and oils very carefully and control the
heat. Should fats or oils ignite, do not use water to extinguish them!
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Time limit function
Selecting pots and pans
The appliance is equipped with an automatic time limit function. This function
makes sure that the appliance is not in operation for a long time. The time
period of the time limit depends on the selected cooking setting, eg.: The high-
er the selected cooking setting, the faster the appliance is switched off.
CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
[
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions!
You can save time and power by using ideal pots and pans.
■ Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
Uneven bottom surfaces can increase the amount of time needed to start
the cooking process and increase energy usage.

What happens if...
■ ...pressing two or more sensor keys – at the same time e.g. when a
pan is mistakenly put onto the sensor key?
No function is activated. An audible signal sounds after 10 seconds. The
appliance switches off automatically after 20 seconds.
■ ...you continue to press a sensor button even after having set the
highest cooking setting?
An audible signal sounds after 10 seconds. After 20 seconds the appliance
switches off automatically.
■ Wherever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
You’ll save a lot of energy by cooking in a closed pan. Liquids and foods
will only boil over if the temperature is too high. The cooking zones allow
you to precisely set the temperature required. With a little practice, you’ll
learn how to choose the perfect cooking settings so nothing will boil-over
even when a lid is in place!
■ ...there is a power outage?
The appliance does not automatically switch on again. If the child proof lock
was activated before the power failure, this is now deactivated.
■ ...the electronics overheat?
The cooktop will switch off. All 4 LED indicators will flash and a cyclical
signal will be heard.

must immediately be removed from the hot cooking surface with the

What is to be done if…
... one or more sensors don’t react to touch?
Possible cause: The sensors constantly adapt in sensitivity to ambient
conditions. Unfavorable conditions such as e.g. if something is laying on a
sensor, may cause them not to react for several minutes.
Wait for about 15 minutes or pull the relevant fuse and then re-insert
it. Repeat this procedure if necessary!
Cleaning the cooking surface
– Use the cleaning scraper to remove all food residue and fat splashes from
the hot cooking surface.
– When the cooking surface has cooled, clean it with water and a small
amount of detergent, with a cleanser for glass ceramic surfaces or with
VSR O-FIX-C. A soft brush or a soft sponge can also be used.
The keys have adapted and now react to touch again.
... one or more sensors don’t react to touch despite repeating this
procedure?
Possible cause: Faulty sensor key or component.
– Wipe off the surface with clear water.
– Dry it thoroughly.
If you’ve repeated the procedure and the keys still don’t react, pull the
fuse again and then contact our Customer Service.
Remove caking
Heavy food residue should be soaked first. Use a wet cloth for best results. It
will be easier to remove the food residue.
Care of the cooking surface
Clean the glass ceramic surfaces with a cleanser to protect it from discoloring,
and reduce the danger of damage from sugar. It can also remove stains and
discoloration
