Safety instructions  
The cooktop must be built into a countertop opening! Do not use the  
appliance if it has not been installed!  
Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a  
qualified technician.  
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.  
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.  
Danger of burning! The cook top becomes hot  
during operation. CAUTION: Keep children away  
from this appliance.  
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.  
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 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 it until it’s had time to cool.  
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!  
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  
be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
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.  
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! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earth-  
enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service  
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow  
the manufacturer's instructions!  
Do not place non-food items on the cooking surface when it's hot.  
Be careful when working with attachments! The connecting cord  
must not come in contact with the hot cooking surface.  
Do not put kitchen foil or 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.  
Clean and remove any burned-on materials. Don’t heat these  
materials repeatedly.  
Lime deposits are harmful to the cooking surface.  
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.  
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.  
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 5.  
Protective liners – Do not use aluminium foil to line surface unit drip  
bowls. Improper installation may result in a risk of fire.  
The glass ceramic surface is very tough 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.  
Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions carefully!  
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.  
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!  
The connecting cable must not come in contact with the hot cooking  
surface.  
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.

Frying or dual-circuit cooking zone  
As a rule, only the smaller cooking zone diameter is heated. However, when  
ysing frying pans and large saucepans, you may decide to switch on the outer  
cooking zone circuit.  
Switching the frying or dual-circuit zone on:  
 Turn the control clockwise  
as far as it will go. You’ll  
feel a slight resistance.  
 Then set it back to the re-  
quired cooking level.

Switching the frying or  
dual-circuit zone off:  
 Turn the control to “0” briefly.  
 Then set it to the required cooking level.

Using the cook top  
Heat indicators (1)  
When you turn the cooking surface on, you will hear a short buzzing noise  
as it heats. This is design-specific and does not affect the quality and  
operation of the appliance.  
F
CAUTION! The indicator can fail (defective light bulb). This means you  
[
won’t be warned when the cooking zones are hot. Have the light bulb  
replaced immediately!  
Selecting a cooking level  
Each cooking zone has its own regulator. 9 cook-  
ing levels are marked on every regulator. You  
can also select intermediate settings.  
Each cooking zone has a corresponding heat indicator: it’s positioned identi-  
cally to the cooking zone.  
The indicators remain on while the cooking zones are still very hot – even after  
they have been switched off.

must immediately be removed from the hot cooking surface with the  
cleaning scraper. If not, the cooking surface can be ruined while it's  
cooling down.  
You can save time and power by using ideal pots and pans.  
Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.

cleaning. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface,  
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Please note the instructions regarding cleansers.  
[
Clean the cooking surface after every use. Dirt that hasn’t been removed  
will burn into the surface the next time it’s turned on and then these in-  
crustations may be permanent.  
F
Rough pan bottom surfaces will scratch the glass-ceramic cooking area  
when moved around.  
Use a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.  
Using an undersized utensil will expose a portion of the heating element to  
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.  
Cleanser residues can cause discoloration the next time you turn on the  
cook top. Cloths and sponges that have been used to clean other  
surfaces can cause discoloring, too.

VSR O-FIX-C is the perfect cleanser for glass ceramic. You can get it from  
KÜPPERSBUSCH Customer Service.  
Do not use any  
- aggressive or bleaching cleaning agents that contain active oxygen, chlorine  
or corrosive components.  
- abrasive or aggressive cleaning or scouring agents like steel wool, soap-  
filled steel wool, metal or plastic sponges or similar agents with an abrasive  
surface.  
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!  
Please note the information for the cleaning scraper  
CAUTION! Risk of cutting! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very  
sharp!  
[
Always keep the cleaning scraper flat on the  
surface and push the caking away.  
Do not scratch the surface with the edge of  
[
the scraper and don’t damage the sealing  
with the edge.  
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.  
 Wipe off the surface with clear water.  
 Dry it thoroughly.  
Remove caking  
Heavy dirt should be soaked first. Use a wet cloth for best results. It will be  
easier to remove the dirt.  
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
