Operating Instructions 1 Safety The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety instructions. Electrical Safety 3 • 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.
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.
How to avoid damage to the appliance • Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space. • The frameless edge of the glass ceramic surface is susceptible to knocks. Please be careful when moving pots and pans around. • Do not have the cook zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or pans on them. • Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall on to it.
2 Disposal Disposing of the packaging material All materials used can be fully recycled. Plastics are marked as follows: • >PE< for polyethylene, as used for the outer wrapping and the bags inside. • >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g., as used for the padding materials. They are completely free of CFCs. Disposal of old appliances 1 8 Warning: Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable so that they cannot be the source of danger.
The Key Features of Your Appliance • Induction cooking zones: The appliance is fitted with a ceramic glass hob and induction cooking zones. Induction heats the base of the pan immediately and does not heat the ceramic glass hob first. • Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using Touch-Control sensor fields. • Cleaning: The advantage of the ceramic glass cooking surface and the sensor fields is their accessibility for cleaning. The flat surface is easy to clean.

Cooking zone still hot; it extinguishes when the cooking zone has cooled down. This display appears only if the cooking zone is switched off, but the hob is still connected to the electricity supply.
1 Cooking Zone Safety Cut-out If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the heat setting is not changed, the corresponding cooking zone switches itself off automatically. h appears in the ring display for all rings that were switched on, and _ after they have cooled down. The rings are switched off at: • Heat setting 1-2 after 6 hours • Heat setting 3-4 after 5 hours • Heat setting 5 after 4 hours • Heat setting 6-9 after 1.
Function and the Way the Induction Cooking Zone Works A copper wire induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This generates electromagnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans and not, as with other heating up methods, first heating the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, which saves time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan the cooking zone itself hardly warms up.
Suitable Kitchenware for Induction Cooking Zones Pots and Pans • In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These are steel, steel-enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans. • High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Tefal with an aluminium/copper base) are suitable for induction only if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case they have a ferromagnetic percentage in the base. • If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g.
Note: Please note the diameter of the pan base when buying new pans, since the manufacturers usually specify the top edge diameter of their pans. Automatic Pan Sensing The induction cooking zone does not function when unsuitable pans are used. If the cooking zone is switched on without a suitable pan on it f flashes in the digital display of the cooking zone. After about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches itself off automatically. _ appears in the digital display. Also when overheating occurs (e.g.

Cleaning and care Advantages for Cleaning and Caring for the Induction Cooking Zone 2 The cleaning effort for induction ceramic glass cooking surfaces is considerably less than for cooking surfaces with radiant heating: – The induction cooking zone reacts faster to switching down and off. Boiling over and burning in of dishes is avoided to a large degree. – The temperaturs on the ceramic glass surface are clearly lower with inductive cooking than with the conventional radiant heating systems.
Stubborn Soiling 3 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 ceramic glass cleaners from your local Service Force Centre. 1 Problem Dirt 1. Remove burnt-on sugar, melted plastic, aluminium foil or other meltable materials with a glass scraper immediately and while still hot.
