Before using for the first time Clean the cooktop ^ Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use liquid dish soap to clean the cooktop, this may cause permanent blue discolorations. Heat the cooktop Only for facet cooktops: A small gap between the cooktop and the work surface may be visible in the first days of operation. It will become smaller during use. Despite this small gap, the electrical safety of your appliance is always ensured.
How the burners operate One-zone burners use one heating strip; two-zone burners and grill zones have two heating strips. Depending on the model, the heating strips may be separated by a ring. One-zone burner Each burner has overheating protection (internal temperature limiter) feature to prevent the ceramic glass from overheating (see "Overheat protection"). When a power level is set, the heat element turns on and the heating strip is visible through the ceramic glass.
Use Turning On To select a power level: The cooktop must be turned on before any of the burners can be used. Standard factory setting Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation! To turn the cooktop On: ^ Touch the s On/Off touch control . All the touch controls and the power-ON indicator light will come on. If no further entry is made, the cooktop will turn itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons. To turn a burner On ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar of the desired burner.
Use Power settings The cooktop is factory-programmed with 9 power levels. If you would like finer setting control, you can extend the power levels (see "Programming"). Cooking process Settings* Standard factory settings (9 power levels) Extended settings (17 power levels) Melting butter, chocolate, etc.
Use Cooking with Auto-heat When Auto-heat has been activated, the burner automatically turns on at the highest setting (heat-up boost) and then switches to the previously selected continued power level. The heat-up time depends on which continued power level has been chosen (see chart). Continued Heat-up time power level* (approx.) min:sec 1 1 : 20 1+ 2 : 00 2 2 : 45 2+ 3 : 25 With higher continued power levels only a relatively short heat-up time is required.
Use Variable burner Two-zone burner With some cooktop models (see "Description of the appliance"), you can turn on a second or third burner zone when using larger pots. ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar of the desired burner. If you add another burner zone, the "variable burner" touch control will be brighter than normal. With the three-zone burner, the display does not differentiate between second and third burner zones. When you turn off a burner, the added burner zones are also turned off.
Use Turning off and residual heat indicators To turn a burner off ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar of the desired burner. After several seconds the numbers 1 to 9 on the settings bar go out. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat will be displayed. To turn the cooktop off ^ Touch the s control. This turns off all the burners. After several seconds the power-ON indicator light and the numbers 1 to 9 on the settings bar go out.
Selecting cookware – Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well. cold Energy saving tips – For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. hot – Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the cooktop surface.
Timer The cooktop must be turned on to use the timer. The timer can be used for two different functions: – To time kitchen activities – To set a burner to turn off automatically. You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9^). A time up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes. Example: With a time of more than 99 minutes, the timer must be turned to hours. The time is set in half-hour increments. The half hour is indicated by a dot after the number.
Timer Setting the timer Minutes Hours Example: You want to set a time of 15 minutes. To set full hours, touch the respective number on the settings bar. To set the half hours, touch the space between 2 numbers on the settings bar. Example: 2 hours and 30 minutes ^ Turn the cooktop on. ^ Touch the m control. The m touch control flashes. 00 appears in the timer display, and the right 0 will flash. ^ Turn the cooktop on. ^ Touch the m control. The m touch control flashes.
Timer To change the set time ^ Touch the m control. ^ Set the desired time as described in "Setting the timer". To clear the set time ^ Touch the m control. ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar.
Timer Turning a burner off automatically You are able to set a time in which a burner turns off automatically. If desired, all of the burners can be programmed at the same time. If the programmed time is longer than the maximum time allowed, the burner will turn off automatically after the maximum time allowed (see "Safety cut-out feature"). ^ Select a power level for the desired burner. ^ Tap the m touch control until the indicator light for the burner starts flashing.
Timer Using both timer functions at the same time The kitchen timer and automatic shut-off functions can be used at the same time. If you have programmed one or more shut-off times and would also like to set the kitchen timer: Tap the m touch control until the indicator lights for the programmed burners come on steady and 00 appears in the timer display.
Safety features Child safety lock / System lock To activate the locks Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the burners from accidentally being turned on or any settings changed. ^ Touch the $ control until the respective indicator light comes on. The Child safety lock can be activated when the cooktop is turned on. When the safety lock is activated, the cooktop has only limited functions: – The burner power levels and the timer settings cannot be changed.
Safety features Stop and Go To activate Stop and Go Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all the activated burners to level 1. The burner power-levels and the timer setting cannot be changed, the cooktop can only be turned off. ^ Touch the control. When Stop and Go is deactivated, the cooking zones resume at the power level which was last set. If Stop and Go is not deactivated, the cooktop turns off after 1 hour.
Safety features Safety shut-off Safety shut-off if the touch controls are covered Safety shut-off for cooking times that are too long If a burner is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) at the same power level, the cooktop will turn itself off automatically and the residual heat indicator will appear.
Safety features Overheat protection Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This feature automatically turns off the heating element before the glass ceramic surface becomes too hot. When the overheat protection is triggered, the heating element turns on and off even at the highest power level. Once the glass ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature the heating element will automatically turn back on.
Cleaning and Care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface. Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop. Never use abrasive cleaners, caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or hard brushes. They will damage the surface.
Programming The programming of your cooktop can be modified (see chart). After starting the programming function P (Program) and an S (Status) will appear in the timer display. With cooktops that have 3 burners, an additional display appears at the back left.
