Before using for the first time Please adhere the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this doc‐ umentation in the space provided in the "Technical service, data plate, warranty" section of this manual. Remove any protective foil and stick‐ ers. Cleaning the cooktop for the first time Before first use, wipe down the appli‐ ance with a damp cloth and dry it. Turning on the cooktop for the first time Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent.
Induction How it works An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a zone is turned on, this coil creates a magnetic field that impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan. An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Cookware"). The induction zone automatically recognizes the size of the pan.
Induction Noises When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the type and shape of the cookware bottom: On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease alto‐ gether when the power setting is re‐ duced. Cookware with bottoms made of differ‐ ent materials (e.g. sandwich bottoms) may produce a crackling noise.
Induction Cookware Suitable cookware is made of: – stainless steel with a magnetizable bottom – enamel-coated steel – cast iron Unsuitable cookware is made of: – stainless steel with a non-magnetiza‐ ble bottom – aluminum, copper – glass, ceramics, earthenware, stone‐ ware. To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Energy saving tips – Use a lid whenever possible to mini‐ mize heat loss. – For small quantities, select a small pan. A small pan on a small burner uses less energy than a large, only partially filled pan on a large burner. – Cook with as little water as possible. – Once food has come to the boil or the pan is hot for frying, reduce the heat to a lower power setting.
Power setting ranges The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to finetune a setting, you can extend the power setting range to 17 power levels (see "Programming").
Operation Basic operation The ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor buttons that react to finger contact. During activation, the On/Off sensor button muss be pressed somewhat longer than the oth‐ er buttons for safety reasons. Each reaction of the buttons is ac‐ knowledged with an acoustic signal. The cooking zones and the timer have to be "active" when you want to set or adjust a power level or the duration.
Operation Fire hazard! Residual heat indicator Do not leave the cooktop unattended during operation! Please note that the heat-up time for induction cooktops is shorter than for conventional cooktops. When a cooking zone is hot, the residu‐ al heat indicator will light up after deac‐ tivation. Turning the cooktop On Tap the sensor button. appears in each of the cooking zone indicators. If no further entry is made, the cooktop will turn itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.
Operation Setting the power level - ex‐ panded setting range Tap the control scale between the sensor buttons. The set power level flashes in the indi‐ cator for a few seconds and then lights up constantly. The intermediate levels are shown with an illuminated point next to the number. PowerFlex cooking zone You can combine the PowerFlex cook‐ ing zones into one large cooking area (see the "Overview – Cooking zone" chapter).

Operation TwinBooster / Booster The cooking zones are equipped with a booster or TwinBooster (see "Overview – Cooking zone"). You can use the booster for a maximum of two cooking zones at the same time. When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of 15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g., pasta water. If the booster function is turned on when Two cooking zones are connected so the power for the booster can be ach‐ ieved.
Operation Activating the booster Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone. Select a power level if required. Tap the B I/II sensor button. The indicator light for the booster lights up and the cooking zone indicator starts to flash. After a few seconds, lights up constantly and the indicator light goes out. Turning the Booster/TwinBooster On/Off Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone.
Operation Keep warm function The keep warm function is for keeping food warm that has just been cooked, i.e., food that is still hot. It is not for reheating cold food. If the keep warm function has been ac‐ tivated, the cooking zone will turn off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours. – Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid. Setting the keep warm function Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone. Tap the control scale between the 0 and 1 sensor buttons.
Timer The cooktop has to be turned on if you wish to use the timer. You can set a time up to 99 minutes. The timer can be used for two different functions: – For setting the timer – For turning off a cooking zone auto‐ matically Timer Setting Example: You want to set a time of 15 minutes. Turn the cooktop on. Tap the sensor button. appears in the timer display, and the right flashes. First the tens digit is set then the ones digit.
Timer Turning a cooking zone off au‐ tomatically You can set a time after which the cooking zone will turn off automatically. This function can be used on all zones at the same time. If the programmed time is longer than the maximum time allowed, the safety shut-off function will turn off the cook‐ ing zone automatically when the maxi‐ mum time has elapsed (see "safety shut-off"). If you want to set another cooking zone to turn off automatically, follow the same steps as described above.
Timer Using both timer functions at the same time The timer and automatic turn-off func‐ tions can be used at the same time. If you would like to call the other re‐ maining times so that they appear in the display: Tap the sensor button until: If you have programmed in one or more turn-off times, and would like to use the timer as well: – The indicator light for the desired cooking zone starts flashing (auto‐ matic turn-off).
Additional functions Stop & Go function When activated, the Stop & Go reduces the power of all cooking zones in use to power level 1. The power levels of the zones and set‐ ting of the timer cannot be changed and the cooktop can only be turned off. A set timer and booster time continue to run. The Auto Heat-up time and set times for automatic turn-off are stop‐ ped.
Safety features System lock / Safety lock The system lock and safety lock are deactivated if there is a power out‐ age. Three-finger control is the default set‐ ting. You can change the default to one-finger control (see "Program‐ ming"). Your cooktop is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the cooking zones being turned on or any settings being altered. The system lock is activated when the cooktop is turned off.
Safety features Safety shut-off Safety shut-off with an overlong cooking time The safety shut-off is triggered auto‐ matically if a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long period of time. This time depends on the power level se‐ lected. If it has been exceeded, the cooking zone turns off and the residual heat indicator appears. If you turn the cooking zone on and off again, it is ready for operation again.
Safety features Overheat protection Overheating can be caused by: All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are equip‐ ped with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from over‐ heating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire cooktop in the following ways: – Heating empty cookware Inductive coils – Any booster function in operation will be turned off.
Cleaning and care Burn hazard! Unsuitable cleaning agents The burners must be turned off and allowed to cool completely. To prevent damage to surfaces, avoid the following while cleaning: Risk of injury! The steam from a steam cleaner could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. All cooktop surfaces can become discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The outer surfaces of the cooktop are susceptible to scratching.
Cleaning and care Do not clean the area between the glass-ceramic surface and the frame or the frame and the counter with sharp objects. This could cause damage to the seals. When cleaning with dishwashing liq‐ uid, not all contaminants and resi‐ dues are removed. An invisible film forms, which causes discoloration of the ceramic. This discoloration cannot be removed. Clean the cooktop on a regular basis with a special ceramic cleaner.
Programming You can adapt the programming of the cooktop to your personal needs. Sever‐ al settings can be changed in succes‐ sion. After the programming function is start‐ ed, (program) and (status) will ap‐ pear in the timer display. With cooktops that have 3 cooking zones, an addition‐ al display appears at the back left.

Con@ctivity Your cooktop is communication ena‐ bled and can communicate with the ventilation hood using the wireless USB stick included with selected ventilation hoods (Con@ctivity). The cooktop sends information on its operating sta‐ tus to the ventilation hood. The opera‐ tion of the ventilation hood is automati‐ cally controlled by the power setting of the connected cooktop. If you want to log your cooktop onto Con@ctivity, you must first log on to the ventilation hood.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION Installation and connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply may only be performed by a qualified electrician. Install the upper cabinets and venti‐ lation hood before installing the cooktop to avoid damaging it. Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventila‐ tion hood that extends at least 4 ³/₄" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
Safety clearances Safety clearance above the cooktop For a ventilation hood above the cook‐ top, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If there are no specifications from the hood manu‐ facturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 30" (760 mm). If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clear‐ ance, the largest clearance must be used.
Safety clearances Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop In installing a cooktop there may be an optionally high cabinet or room wall against the rear side and one of the sides (right or left) (see illustrations).
Safety clearances Minimum clearance under‐ neath the cooktop To ensure proper ventilation of the cooktop, a minimum clearance is re‐ quired between the appliance and an oven, protective base, or drawer. The minimum clearance from the bot‐ tom of the cooktop to – the top of the oven must be ⁹/₁₆" (15 mm). – the top of the protective base must be ⁹/₁₆" (15 mm). – bottom of the drawer must be 3" (75 mm). 52 Protective base Installation of a protective base under the cooktop is allowed but not required.
Safety clearances Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be‐ tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam‐ age these materials. If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance be‐ tween the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50 mm).
Ventilation a Front b Ventilation cut-out in the rear wall of the cabinetry 19" x 3" (482 x 75 mm) (Slight) ventilation also takes place when the cabinet is directly against the wall. c Protective base The installation of a protective base beneath the cooktop is not required, but permitted. If a protective base is installed, the distance between the top edge of the coun‐ tertop and the top edge of the base must be at least 5¹/₈" (130 mm) for proper ventilation of the cooktop.
Instructions for installation Seal between cooktop and counter In case a disassembly is required, the appliance must not be perma‐ nently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip un‐ der the edge of the appliance pro‐ vides a sufficient seal for the coun‐ tertop. If the appliance is sealed into posi‐ tion, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if it needs to be removed for maintenance or service.

Installation Preparing the counter Installing the cooktop Create the counter cut-out as shown in the cooktop diagram and in the de‐ tailed drawing. Remember to main‐ tain a minimum safety distance (see "Safety clearances"). Feed the appliance power cord down through the counter cut-out. Seal any wooden counter surfaces with a special varnish, silicone rub‐ ber, or resin to help prevent swelling from moisture. The sealant must be temperature resistant.
Electrical connection ATTENTION: Before installation or servicing, dis‐ connect the power supply by either removing the fuse, shutting off the main power or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. Installation work and repairs should only be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with all ap‐ plicable codes and standards. Re‐ pairs and service by unqualified per‐ sons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held re‐ sponsible.
Electrical connection Connection Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply. The data plate is located underneath the cooktop. The cooktop is approved and ready for connection to a grounded connector with three connecting wires, sheathed by a flexible metal hose. It must be connected to an assigned line in an approved connecting socket.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial The cardboard box and packing materi‐ als protect the appliance during ship‐ ping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Dan‐ ger of suffocation! Disposal of your old appliance Old electrical and electronic appliances often still contain valuable materials.
