.
Hot oils can ignite very quickly. Do not leave the
hob unattended when preparing foods in pans of
oil, i.e. frying chips.
.
The sensor technique provides best--possible sa-
fety with the manipulation of the appliance, but to
the same extent it needs care when setting coo-
king zones, output or periods of time.
Electrical s afety
.
.
This appliance must be installed by qualified
personnel.
.
After use make sure that the appliance is
switched off.
Repairs to the appliance should only be carried
out by authorised service enginneers. Improper
repairs can lead to injury or serious malfunction.

occur.
For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with
a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.
.
Built--in appliances must be installed in built--in
cupboards and worktops. The cupboards have to
be located and fastened in a way that they are sta-
ble. The protection against accidental contact re-
quired by the VDE will then be ensured.
How to avoid damaging your appliance
.
.
Do not use the hob surface as a working surface
or for storage.
.
.
Damaged appliances must not be installed.
Do not use the hob if the ceramic glass is dama-
ged:
Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans or
without pans. This could cause damage to the
pans or the hob.
- switch off the cooking zones,
- disconnect from the electricity supply.
.
.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock
and very robust, however, it is not unbreakable.
Hard and sharp objects, in particular, can damage
the cooking surface if they fall on it.
Safety for children
.
This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults only. Do not allow children to play with the
product or tamper with the controls.
Do not use cast iron pots or pans with damaged
bases that are rough or burred. Scratching may
occur when the pans are slid.
.
.

ching may occur or the paint damaged.
Children can also injure themselves by pulling
pots or pans off the hob.
Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar,
lemon limescale removing agents do not come
into contact with the hob frame, otherwise matt
spots will appear.
Safety during us e
.
.
This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It
is not designed for commercial or industrial
purposes.
.
.
If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into con-
tact with a hot cooking zone and then melts, re-
move the soiling immediately whilst still warm,
using a glass scraper. If it cools, damage to the
surface may occur.
The appliance gets hot when in use. In case of ca-
reless handling there is danger of burning one-
self at the heating zones.
Keep all items and materials that melt away from
the ceramic glass surface, e.g. plastics, alumi-
nium foil or oven foils. If something of this nature
should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it
must be removed immediately using a glass scra-
per.
.
.
Do not use the cooking zones to heat the room.
Take care when plugging electrical items into
mains sockets near the hob. Connecting leads
must not come into connection with the hot
surface or vessels.

Operating Ins tructions
General information
The cooking surface is made of proven ceramic glass.
and consists of 4 cooking zones. The rapid glowing
cooking zones are especially efficient radiant heating
elements which will considerably reduce the duration
of heating--up.
The cooking surface is insensitive to rapid chan-
ges in temperature. Pots can therefore be moved
from a hot to cold zone.
When switching on a cooking zone you may hear
a short buzz. That is a characteristic of all ceramic
glass cooking zones and does not impair the func-
tion or the lifetime of the appliance.
Always put pots and pans onto the cooking zone
before switching on.
Heat Control Knobs
The control knobs regulate the heating capacity of the
cooking zones.
The control knobs for the cooking zone can be turned
to the left and to the right to the desired position.
1 = minimum setting
12 = maximum setting.
Setting it back to „O“ turns off the cooking zone.
Always put pans or pots on the cooking zones, before
switching on.
Res idual heat indicator
Each cooking zone is related to one indicator. The war-
ning lamp lights up when the surface of the correspon-
ding cooking zone reaches a temperature which could
cause burns.
This light remains lit after the relevant zone has been
switched off as long as the residual heat of the corres-
ponding cooking surface can cause burns. The light will
o
go out when the temperature falls below 60 C.

Application, Charts , Tips
Cooking and frying utens ils
The better the pot or the pan, the better the boiling
or frying result.
.
You can recognise good quality pans by their
base. The base should be thick and as flat as pos-
sible.
.
.
Rough bases (i.e. burrs and sharp edges) will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can
leave behind metallic discolourations which can
only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not
at all.
8
8
8
.
Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller
than the cooking zone, and preferably not more
than 10--15 mm larger than the diameter of the
cooking zone.
8
.
.
.
.
When cold, pan bases normally curve slightly
inwards (are concave). In no case should they
curve outwards (be convex).
When buying new pots or pans pay attention to
the base diameter. Manufacturers often state the
upper diameter of the edge of a dish.
8
If you are using special cooking utensils like pres-
sure cookers or a WOK, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8
8
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer. Ensure they are recommended for
use on ceramic hobs.
General hints
.
.
The bases should always be clean and dry.
To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic
glass surface, pots and pans should be moved on
the hob by lifting them, and not by sliding.
.
.
Scratches can also be caused by grains of sand
(e.g. originating from the previous washing of
vegetables), drawn over the cooking surface with
the pan, or by burrs and the rims of pan bases.
Use high sided pans for dishes with a lot of liquid,
so that nothing boils over.
Energy cons umption
To save energy, you should:
.
.
place pots and pans in position before switching
on the cooking zone.
use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth,
flat bases.
8
.
.
.
.
wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
8
8
8
never place pots or pans on cooking zones with
a larger diameter.
wet or dirty cooking zones and pots will waste
energy.
switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before
the end of the cooking time, in order to make use
of the residual heat.
.
When using pressure cookers you can reduce the
cooking time by up to 50%. As well as saving
energy, more vitamins and minerals are retained
in the food.
8
Chart: Boiling and frying
The setting position required for cooking processes is dependent on the quality of the pots and on the type
and amount of the food.

Cleaning and care
Attention! Cleaners must not get onto the hot ce-
ramic glass surface! After cleaning all residues of
cleaners must be removed with sufficient clean
water, as they may be caustic when being rehea-
ted.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such
as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring
powder, or sponges with an abrasive effect.
Suitable cleaning materials are: clean cloth or
household paper, hot water with detergent, suita-
ble commercial cleaners and cleaning scrapers.
Cleaning scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners
are available from the expert trade and in markets
for building material.
Ceramic glas s s urface
.
.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after every use
when it is hand warm or cold. This will avoid spills
becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and
metallic shimmering discoloration with a commer-
cial ceramic glass cleaner such as Vitroclen.
Light s oilage
.
.
.
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth,
and a little washing up liquid.
Then rub dry with a clean cloth. No residues of
cleaner must be left on the surface.
Once a week, throroughly clean the entire cera-
mic glass surface with a commercial ceramic
glass cleaner such as “Vitroclen”. Always ensure
that the hob is dry after cleaning.
Stubborn s oilage
.
.
To remove food that has boiled over or burnt on
spots, use a glass scraper.
Place the glass scraper at an angle to the ceramic
glass surface. Remove soiling by sliding the scra-
per.
10
Special s oilage
Sugar
.
Remove burnt--on sugar, melted plastics, alumi-
num foil immedeiately -- when they are s till warm
-- using a glass scraper, otherwise damage may
be caused.
Warning! When using the cleaning scraper on the
warm cooking zone care should be taken.
.
Afterwards clean the cooking surface normally.
If the cooking zone and melted material has coo-
led down, reheat the cooking zone gently to aid
the cleaning process.
Dark s pots , decor damages
If aggressive cleaners or pans with abrasive ba-
ses are used, then the decor will take on an abra-
ded appearence and dark spots will appear over
time.
These marks cannot be removed. However, they
do impair the fuctionability of the hob.
.
Scratches in the ceramic glas s s urface
Scratches in the ceramic glass surface resulting
from burrs on a pan base or sand grains cannot
be removed.
However, they do not impair the function of the
hob.
The hob frame
Do not allow vinegar, lemons or scale removers to
come into contact with the hob frame, matt spots
will appear.
.
.
Clean the hob frame with water and a little was-
hing up liquid.
Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe off
and rub dry.
