Help protect our environment Disposal of packing materials Disposal of an old appliance The cardboard box and packing materials are biodegradable and recyclable. Please recycle. Old appliances contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Before the first use Stick the data plate, which is included with the appliance documents, on the appropriate place on the cooktop (see Technical Service). First cleaning ^ Remove any protective foil and stickers. ^ Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. First use For facetted cooktops (with bevelled glass edge): In the first few days after installation, a small gap may be visible between the cooktop and the countertop. It will become smaller with use.
Induction How induction works Under each induction cooking zone there is an induction coil. When the cooking zone is switched on, the coil generates a magnetic field that acts directly on the bottom of the cookware to heat it up. The cooking zone heats up indirectly from the heat given off by the cookware. Induction only works with cookware that has a magnetizable bottom (see Cookware). The induction process automatically takes into account the size of the cookware being used.
Induction Noises When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the the type and shape of the cookware bottom: – The zone may hum at higher power settings. The humming will become quieter or disappear if you lower the power setting. – Cookware with bottoms made of different 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-magnetizable bottom – aluminium or copper – glass, ceramics, earthenware or stoneware. If you are not sure whether a pot or pan is suitable for induction, you can test it using a magnet against the bottom. If the magnet sticks, the cookware can be used.
Power settings The cooktop is factory-programmed with 9 power levels. You can increase the number of power levels (see Programming).
Use The basics of use Your glass ceramic cooktop is equipped with sensors which respond to touch. When the cooktop is switched off, only the ON/OFF and safety lock symbols are visible. All the other symbols light up when the cooktop is switched on. On the settings bars the 0 is displayed at brightness level 2 and the numbers 1-9 are displayed at brightness level 1. When a power level is selected, all the numbers from 0 to the selected power level are displayed at brightness level 2.
Use Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use! Switching the cooktop on ^ Touch the s sensor. All the sensors light up. If you don't touch another sensor within the next few seconds, the cooktop will shut off for safety. Activating a cooking zone A cooking zone is not active if only the 0 is lit up in the settings bar. ^ Touch the 0 to activate. All sensors light up. Selecting a power level Default power settings ^ Touch the respective number on the settings bar of the desired cooking zone.
Use PowerFlex cooking area You can combine the PowerFlex cooking zones into one PowerFlex cooking area. The settings for the cooking area are controlled via the rear or left PowerFlex cooking zone; the other settings bar goes out except for the y symbol. Activating/Deactivating ^ Touch the y sensor.
Use Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up is activated, the cooking zone starts heating at the highest power setting and then switches to the power level selected (continued-cooking level). The heat-up time depends on the continued-cooking level you selected (see chart). Activating ^ Touch the desired continued-cooking number until a signal sounds, and the selected continued-cooking power-level starts to flash. During the heat-up time (see chart) the continued-cooking power-level flashes.
Use Continued-cooking level* Heat-up time in minutes and seconds (approx.) 1 0 : 15 1+ 0 : 15 2 0 : 15 2+ 0 : 15 3 0 : 25 3+ 0 : 25 4 0 : 50 4+ 0 : 50 5 2 : 00 5+ 5 : 50 6 5 : 50 6+ 2 : 50 7 2 : 50 7+ 2 : 50 8 2 : 50 8+ 2 : 50 9 - * The continued-cooking levels with a + are only available if the number of power levels has been extended (see Programming).
Use Booster The cooking zones are equipped with a booster or a twin booster (see Guide to the cooktop). The booster increases the power so that large quantities can be quickly heated, e.g. water for cooking pasta. This power increase is active for a maximum of 15 minutes. The booster can only be used on two cooking zones at a time. If you activate the booster function when – no power setting has been selected.
Use During the booster time, the B sensor and all of the numbers in the settings bar are on at brightness level 2. Activating the booster ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar of the desired cooking zone. ^ Select a power level, if necessary. ^ Touch the B sensor. Activating the twin booster Level 1 ^ Touch "0" on the settings bar of the desired cooking zone. ^ Select a power level, if necessary. ^ Touch the B sensor. The indicator light for twin booster level 1 ¤ comes on.
Use Keeping warm Some cooking zones have a keeping warm level. This keeping warm level is for keeping food warm that has just been cooked, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold. If the keeping warm level has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours. Switching the keeping warm level On/Off ^ Touch the 2 sensor for the desired cooking zone. Tips – Keep the food warm in the cookware (pots/pans).
Use Switching off and residual heat display Switching a cooking zone off ^ Touch 0 on the settings bar of the desired cooking zone. 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. Switching the cooktop off ^ Touch the s sensor. This switches off all the cooking zones. All the sensors go out. Residual heat display If there is residual heat, the numbers 1 to 9 on the settings bar go out after several seconds.
Tips for saving energy – Whenever possible, keep pots and pans covered while cooking. This helps to limit the loss of heat. open closed – For small quantities, choose small cookware. A small pot requires less energy than a larger, only partially filled pot. – 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. – The cooking time can be reduced significantly by using a pressure cooker.
Timer The cooktop must be switched on to use the timer. The timer can be used for two different functions: – To set the minute minder – To set a cooking zone to switch 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 switched to hours. The time is set in half-hour steps. The half hour is indicated by a dot after the number.

If the programmed time is longer than the maximum time allowed, the safety switch-off function will switch off the cooking zone automatically when the maximum time has elapsed (see Safety switch-off). ^ Select a power level for the desired cooking zone.
Timer Using both timer functions at the same time The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be used at the same time. If you have programmed one or more switch-off times and would also like to set the minute minder: Keep touching the m sensor until the indicator lights for the programmed cooking zones light up steady and 00 appears in the timer display.
Safety features Safety lock / System lock Your cooktop is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the cooking zones from accidentally being switched on or their settings changed. The safety lock can be activated when the cooktop is switched on. When activated, the cooktop has only limited functions: – The cooking zone power levels and the timer settings cannot be changed. – The cooking zones, the cooktop and the timer can be switched off, but cannot be switched on again.
Safety features Activating Three-finger control (factory default) ^ Touch the $ sensor and the 0 of both right-hand cooking zones at the same time until the lock indicator comes on and LC appears in the timer display. The indicator light and LC will go out after a short while. One-finger control ^ Touch the $ sensor until the lock indicator lights up and LC appears in the timer display. The indicator light and LC will go out after a short while.
Safety features Stop and Go Your cooktop has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all switched-on cooking zones to level 1. The power levels of the cooking zones and the timer settings cannot be changed, the cooktop can only be switched off. When Stop and Go is deactivated, the cooking zones resume at the power setting which was last set. If Stop and Go is not deactivated, the cooktop switches off after 1 hour.
Safety features Safety switch-off If the the cooking time is too long If a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) at the same power level, it will switch itself off and the residual heat will be displayed. To use the cooking zone again, switch it back on in the usual way.
Safety features Overheat protection All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with overheating protection. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the overheating protection initiates the following measures: Induction coils – If the booster function is being used, this will be switched off. – The power level that is set will be reduced. – The cooking zone switches off automatically. FE flashes in the timer display alternately with 44.
Cleaning and care Risk of injury Never use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Clean the appliance after each use. Let it cool down before cleaning. To avoid limescale deposits, after each cleaning use a soft cloth to dry the surfaces.
Cleaning and care Do not use dishwashing liquid for cleaning. When cleaning with a dishwashing liquid, not all contaminants and residues are removed. The result is an invisible film, which leads to discolouration of the ceramic surface. This discolouration cannot be removed. Clean the cooktop on a regular basis with a special ceramic cleaner. First wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to loosen soiling, then remove stubborn crusting with a glass scraper.
Programming You can change the programming of your cooktop (see chart). You can change several settings one after the other. After starting the programming function P (Program), an S (Status) will appear in the timer display. With cooktops that have 3 cooking zones, an additional display appears at the back left.
