Operating Instructions
1 Safety
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manu-
facturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with
the following safety instructions.
Electrical Safety
• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved
service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your local customer center or your dealer.
Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the
3
event of damages.
• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa-
tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of
German Electrical Engineers].
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always
keep small children away from the appliance.
22
Safety During Use
• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in
the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Do not use the hob to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets
near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the
hot surface.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise
cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• Switch off the cooking zones after use.
Safety When Cleaning
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or
high pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in-
structions in this manual.
23
To Avoid damaging your appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans
are empty.
• Glass ceramic is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust;
however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects
that fall on the cooking surface can damage it.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to
the paint may occur.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling
agents, are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot
cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately
with a scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be dam-
aged when it is removed.
• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic
glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If some-
thing of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it
must also be removed immediately using the scraper.
24
2 Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material
• All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded
polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of
packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.
• Please follow the national and regional regulations and material
identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal
sites).
Information on disposal
• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse
disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.
• Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove the mains lead.
25
The Key Features of Your ApplianceAppliance
• Ceramic glass cooking surface: The appliance has a ceramic
glass cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The par-
ticularly powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the
amount of time taken for the zones to heat up.
• Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface is its
easy cleaning. The smooth surface is easy to keep clean (see sec-
tion: “Cleaning and care”).
• Double-ring cooking zone: The cooking surface possesses a dou-
ble-ring cooking zone. This provides the appliance with a cooking
zone with a variable size, for instance for smaller pots. This is a sav-
ing in energy.
• Frying zone: The hob has a special frying zone. This can be set to
either the round or the oval shape, for example when using a fryer.
• Residual heat indicator: The residual heat indicator lights up if the
cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burning.

Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth.
Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface
1
could be damaged.
27
Operating the Hob
When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a
3
characteristic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair
either the function or the life of the appliance.
The cooking zones are operated and multiple ring zones activated
3
using the ring switches on the cooker or switch box as described
in the relevant set of instructions.
Residual heat indicator
The ceramic glass hob is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a
control lamp is allocated to each cooking zone. This lights up as soon
the corresponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant
contact.
The remaining heat lamp only goes out when the cooking zone has
cooled down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm.
2
Important! As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there
1
is a risk of burns.
Important! If the power supply is interrupted the residual heat indica-
1
tor also go out and information about residual heat will no longer be
available. However, it is still possible to burn yourself. This can be
avoided by being particularly attentive.
28
Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of
the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper
rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolour-
ing on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible
to remove.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid
across the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly
inwards (concave). They should never be bowed
outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.),
please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Energy saving tips
2
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking
zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase
power consumption.
• Whenever possible always position the lids firmly
on pots and pans to cover completely.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the
cooking time to use the residual heat such as to
keep foods warm or for melting.
• The base of the pan should be
the same size as the cooking
zone.
• Using a pressure cooker reduces
cooking times by up to 50%.
29
Settings for Cooking on the Rings
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
Hob
Important: Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot
1
ceramic glass surface! All cleaning agents must be removed with
plenty of clean water after cleaning because they can have a caustic
effect when the rings are next heated!
Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays,
coarse scourers or abrasive pan cleaners.
Clean the ceramic glass surface after each use when it is warm to the
3
touch or cold. This will avoid spillages becoming burnt on.
Remove scale and water marks, fat spots and discolouration with
a metallic shimmer using a commercially available ceramic glass or
stainless steel cleaner such as “Hob Brite”.
Light Soiling
1. Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid.
2. Then rub dry with a clean cloth. Remnants of cleaner must not be
left on the surface.
3. Thoroughly clean the entire ceramic glass cooking surface once a
week with a commercially available ceramic glass or stainless steel
cleaner.
4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water
and rub dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.
Stubborn Soiling
1. To remove food that has boiled
over or stubborn splashes, use a
glass scraper.
2. Place the glass scraper at an angle
to the ceramic glass surface.
3. Remove soiling by sliding the
blade.
You can obtain glass scrapers and
3
ceramic glass cleaners from spe-
cialist retailers.
31
1 Problem Dirt
1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted
plastic, aluminium foil or other melta-
ble materials with a glass scraper
immediately and while still hot.
Important: There is a risk of burning
1
yourself when the glass scraper is
used on a hot cooking zone!
2. Then clean the hob normally when it
has cooled down.
If the cooking zone on which
3
something has melted has already
cooled down, warm it up again for cleaning.
Scratches or dark marks on the glass ceramic surface, caused for ex-
ample by a pan base with sharp edges, cannot be removed. However,
they do not impair the function of the hob.
Hob Frame
Important! Do not put vinegar, lemon-juice or scale removers on the
1
hob frame, otherwise dull spots will appear.
1. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
2. Soften dried dirt with a wet cloth. Then wipe off and rub dry.
