Warning and Safety instructions Installation and connection The appliance must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct usage To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance you should read these operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the safety, operation and care of the appliance. For safety reasons this appliance must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these operating instructions. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury keep children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Warning and Safety instructions Protecting the appliance from damage Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch. Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get on ceramic cooking zones when they are hot.
Warning and Safety instructions Protection from burning and scalding The surface of the appliance is hot when in use, and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out. For added protection it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Warning and Safety instructions Appliance faults Further safety notes In the event of damage or a defect, switch off the appliance immediately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Service Department.
Caring for the environment Disposal of packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials as soon as possible.
Before using for the first time General notes A data plate for your appliance is supplied with this documentation. It should be stuck into the space provided at the end of the instruction book. Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference and pass them on to any future user. Cleaning and heating up for the first time Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
Use Sensor switches Switching on This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone touch the relevant sensor switch. Each time you touch a sensor switch an audible tone sounds. The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Make sure that you only touch the sensor you require (except when switching off a cooking zone), and that you touch the centre of the sensor. Take care to keep the control area clean.
Use Settings Cooking process Settings Melting butter, chocolate etc. Dissolving gelatine Preparing yoghurt 1-2 Thickening sauces containing egg yolk and butter Warming small quantities of food/liquid Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice 1-3 Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e.g.
Use Auto heat-up How to activate Auto heat-up: When Auto heat up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The "heat up" time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). ^ While a 0 is flashing in the cooking zone display, touch the - sensor until the required continued cooking setting appears, e.g. 6.
Use Switching on an extended area Depending on the model of hob, the outer circle of the double circle zone or the extended cooking zone can be switched on to provide an extended cooking area when cooking with larger pans. ^ Switch the zone on by pressing the or + sensor and select a power setting. ^ Then press the sensor for the outer circle of the double circle zone or the extended cooking zone n.
Use Switching off and residual heat indicators To switch off a cooking zone: ^ Press the - and + sensors for the zone you want to switch off at the same time. A 0 will light up in the display for that zone for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, residual heat will then be indicated in the display. The residual heat indicators will not go out until the cooking zone is safe to touch. If residual heat indicators are on, do not touch the cooking zones or place any heat sensitive object on them.
Use Suitable pans Energy saving tips – For optimum energy consumption during cooking, only pans with flat or very slightly concave bases should be used. When the pan is hot, the base should rest evenly on the hob. Uneven bases will lengthen cooking time. Check for suitability when purchasing new pans. – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered cold hot – Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily.
Safety features Safety lock To activate the safety lock: Keep children away from the hob for their own safety. In addition, your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered. ^ Press the safety lock sensor a until the relevant indicator light comes on. The safety lock can be activated when the hob is switched off as well as when it is in use. The indicator light will go out after a short while.
Safety features Safety switch-off Power setting Maximum length of operating time in hours Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself. 1 10 2 5 If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power settings are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear.
Safety features Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered ^ Clean the control area or remove the obstruction. Your hob will switch itself off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for more than about 10 seconds, for example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by an object such as an oven glove or a tea towel.
Safety features Overheating protection Overheating can be caused by: Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. An internal temperature limiter switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. – switching on a cooking zone without a pan on it. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level the heating will automatically switch back on again. – heating up an empty pan. – the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.
Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Do not use any sharp objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the worktop.
Cleaning and care Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance. Then, immediately, while they are still hot, scrape off all remains of these materials using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the hob to cool down and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic cleaner. Appliances with aluminium frames (see data plate) are prone to scratching, alkali and acid damage.
