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.

sunlight or artificial light) is falling on  
the cooktop. As well, the area around  
the cooktop should neither be too

successfully performed, an A lights in  
the front left and right cooking zone  
display and an F in the rear left of the  
display. Numbers light up in the right  
rear of the cooking zone display and in  
the Timer/Memory display.  
Should the problem still persist, please  
call customer service.  
In that case, you can perform the  
calibration manually.

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.

then the desired cooking zone.  
Do not leave the appliance  
unattended during operation!  
To operate the cooking zones, simply  
touch the corresponding sensor  
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.  
Switching on the cooking zone  
^ 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  
Booster II is used, for 15 minutes with  
extra high power.  
When the Booster is turned on, the  
following takes place:  
The booster function can only be used  
on two cooking zones at a time, one of  
the left and one on the right.  
– if Auto heat is activated on either  
zone in the same network, this will be  
switched off.  
If the booster function is switched on  
when  
– the power level of the linked cooking  
zone will be reduced under certain  
conditions.  
– no power setting has been selected,  
the cooking zone will automatically  
revert to setting 12 at the end of the  
booster time or if it is switched off  
before this.  
– When Booster II is switched on, the  
linked cooking zone is switched off.  
– a power setting has been selected,  
the cooking zone will automatically  
revert to the setting selected.  
If the cookware is removed from the  
heat during the Booster time, the  
Booster Function is interrupted. If the  
cookware is returned to the cooking  
zone within 3 minutes, the Booster time  
will resume.

Safety features  
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.

Troubleshooting  
... If there is a smell or vapor formed  
when a new appliance is switched  
on:  
Repairs to electrical appliances  
should only be carried out by a  
qualified professional. Work  
performed by unqualified persons  
can place the user at considerable  
risk of harm.  
The smell and any vapors given off do  
not indicate a faulty connection or  
defective appliance, and are not  
hazardous to health.  
What should I do if ...  
... The cooking area can be switched  
on and settings selected, but the  
cooking zones do not heat up.  
... the cooktop or the cooking zones  
cannot be switched on?  
Check whether the appliance is still in  
demonstration mode (see  
"Programming").  
Check whether:  
– the cookware is suitable.  
– the safety lock is activated.  
If so, de-activate it (see "Safety  
lock").  
... A ß appears in a cooking zone  
display.  
– the fuses or breakers were tripped.

inadvertently switched on without  
cookware on it.  
– that the cookware being used is  
suitable for use on an induction zone  
and is sufficiently large (see  
"Cookware").

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION  
Safety distances above the appliance  
If there is more than one appliance  
beneath a hood (e.g. wok burner  
and electric cooktop), and they have  
different minimum safety distances,  
always observe the greater  
distance.  
The minimum safety distance given by  
the hood manufacturer must be  
maintained between the cooktop and  
the hood above it. See the installation  
instructions of the hood for these safety  
measurements.  
If the hood manufacturers instructions  
are not available or if flammable objects  
are installed over the combiset (e.g.  
cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum  
safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must  
be maintained.
