Before the first use
Read the section on the "Data plate"
and attach the plate, which is included
with the appliance documents, in the
location specified in "Technical Ser-
vice".
Breaking in the appliance
For facetted cooktops (with bevelled
glass edging):
In the first few days after installation,
a small gap may be visible between
the cooktop and the countertop. This
will diminish over time. Despite the
small gap, the electrical safety of the
appliance remains intact.
First cleaning
Remove any protective foil and stickers.
Before the first use, wipe down the
appliance with a damp cloth and dry it.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be an odour and some
vapour released. The odour will
diminish over time and eventually
disappear.
Do NOT use dish liquid to clean the
glass ceramic cooktop, because this
can cause permanent blue
discolorations.
The odour and any vapors given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
defective appliance, and are not
hazardous to your health.

Induction
How induction works
If suitable cookware is placed on the
induction zone within 3 minutes, the
ßgoes out, and you can continue as
usual.
Under each induction cooking zone,
there is an induction coil. When the
cooking zone is switched on, the coil
generates a magnetic field that acts
directly on the bottom of the pot/pan to
heat it up. The cooking zone heats up
indirectly, only from the heat given off
by the pot/pan.
If no cookware or unsuitable cookware
is used, the cooking zone will
automatically switch off after 3 minutes.
Do NOT use the appliance as a
resting place for cutlery or other
items made of metal. If the
Cooking zones with induction only work
with cookware that has a magnetizable
bottom (see "Cookware").
appliance is on, or accidentally
switched on or there is residual heat,
there is the danger that these items
will heat up (danger of burns!).
The induction process automatically
takes into account the size of the
cookware being used. In other words, it
only works in the area that is covered
by the cookware bottom.
Always switch off the cooking zones
after use.
The cooking zone will not work
– if there is no cookware, or unsuitable
cookware (items without a
magnetizable bottom) being used
– if the bottom diameter of the
cookware being used is too small
– if the cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
In such cases, the symbol ß will flash
alternatingly in the matching cooking
zone display with 0 or the selected
power setting.

Induction
Noise
To extend the life of the electronics, the
appliance is equipped with a cooling
fan. If the appliance is under heavy
use, the fan will start, and you will hear
it whirring. The cooling fan may
continue to run after the appliance is
switched off.
When you use an induction cooking
zone, the following noises may occur,
depending on the the type and shape
of the cookware bottom:
– The zone may hum at the higher
power settings. The humming will
become quieter or disappear if you
lower the power setting.
– Cookware with mixed bottoms (for
example, sandwich bottoms made of
different materials) may produce a
crackling noise.
– Whistling may occur if the connected
cooking zones (see "Booster
function") are also in use and there is
cookware with layered bottom on
them as well.
– The electronics may produce a
clicking sound, especially at lower
power settings.

Induction
Cookware
Size of cookware
For optimal efficiency, select cookware
that fits between the innermost and
outermost markings on the cooking
zone. If the pot/pan is smaller than the
innermost marking, the induction may
not work. The cooking zone will behave
as though no cookware is on it.
Type of cookware
Suitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a magnetizable
bottom
– enamel-coated steel
– Cast iron
Please note that, although the diameter
indicated for pots and pans is typically
the maximum or upper diameter, you
should instead pay attention to the
bottom diameter, which will tend to be
smaller.
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a
non-magnetizable bottom
– Aluminum, copper
– Glass/ceramic/earthenware/
stoneware
Tips for saving energy
If you are not sure whether a pot or pan
is suitable for induction, you can test it
using a magnet against the bottom. If
the magnet sticks, the cookware can be
used.
Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. This helps
keep in the most possible heat.
Note that the type of cookware bottom
you use will have an effect on how
evenly the food cooks.

Operation
Sensor switches
Switching on
The control panel on your ceramic
cooktop is equipped with electronic
sensor switches. They respond to finger
contact.
Begin by switching on the cooktop,
then the desired cooking zone.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended during operation!
To operate the cooking zones, simply

switches. Every response of the sensor
switches is acknowledged with an
acoustic signal.
Switching on the cooktop
^ Tap the ON/OFF sensors.
A 0 appears in each of the cooking
zone displays, while 00 appears in the
Timer/Memory display. If no further
information is entered within the next
few seconds, the cooktop will shut off
for safety.

^ By touching the - or + sensor
switches, select the desired power
setting between 1 and 12 or the
keeping warm function.
If you begin with -, you select cooking
with Auto heat (see "Auto heat"). If you
begin with +, you select cooking
without Auto heat.
Take care to touch only the desired
sensor switch in the middle with your
finger vertical, and keep the control
panel clean with nothing placed on
top of it. Otherwise, the sensor areas
may not respond, or unintentional
commands may be given, even
causing the cooktop to automatically
switch off (see the section on "Safety
Switch-Off"). NEVER place hot

Operation
Booster function
In order to supply the Booster power
needed, another cooking zone will
operate at reduced power while the
Booster Function is on. This means that
the cooking zones are connected
(networked) in pairs, as shown in the
following example:
The cooking zones are equipped with a
Single (I) or Twin Boosters (I/II) (see
Guide to the Appliance).
The booster function boosts power so
that large quantities can be quickly
heated, such as water for cooking
pasta. When Booster I is switched on,
the cooking zones operate for
10 minutes with extra power, and when

Overheat protection
The overheat protection can be
triggered if:
All induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are fitted
with overheating protection. Before the
induction coils or the cooling elements
overheat, the overheat protection
initiates the following measures for the
affected cooking zone or the entire
cooktop:
– Empty cookware is being heated.
– Fats or oils are heated at high power
settings.
– The underside of the appliance is
insufficiently ventilated.
If despite the removal of the cause the
overheat protection is triggered again,
contact customer service.
– If the Booster function is switched
on, it will be switched off.
– If the power level is set between 10
and 12, it will be reduced. The power
level set and the reduced power
level will blink alternately in the
display. The reduced power level is
also represented by the number of
segments in the light ring.
– If an induction coil is affected, the
related cooking zone switches itself
off automatically, and its display first
shows an 0 and then the residual
heat indicator.
Only when the cooking zone has
cooled down sufficiently can it resume
operation in the usual manner.
– If a cooling element is affected, all
cooking zones automatically switch
off, and an 0 will alternate in the
displays with the power level set.
As soon as the cooling elements have
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will automatically operate at the
power levels originally set.

Cleaning and care
Glass ceramic
Spots from lime residue, water, and
aluminum deposits (shimmering
metallic spots) can be removed with a
glass ceramic and stainless steel
cleanser.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then
remove stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
If sugar, plastic, or aluminum foil fall
onto a hot cooking zone, switch the
appliance off. Immediately, while the
zone is still hot, use a glass scraper to
thoroughly eliminate the spill from the
cooking zone. Exercise caution -
danger of burns!
Finish by cleaning the cooking zone
with a special cleaner for glass ceramic
and stainless steel (see the section
"Additional accessories") and paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaner to a hot cooking zone, as this
can leave spots. Follow the instructions
indicated by the manufacturer of the
cleaning product.
Once the zone has cooled off, clean
thoroughly as described above.
Wipe the cooktop with clean water and
dry it with a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to
remove all cleaning product residue.
Residue will burn into the cooktop
during subsequent uses, damaging the
glass ceramic.
