These instructions are also available on our website: docs.kitchenaid.eu IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY This manual and the appliance itself display important safety messages, which must be read and then observed at all times. This is the danger symbol, regarding safety, warning of potential risks to users and others.
-- Do not pull the appliance’s power cable. -- The electrical parts must not be accessible to the user after installation. -- The appliance is designed solely for domestic use, for cooking food. No other use is permitted (e.g. heating rooms). The manufacturer declines any liability for inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls. -- The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.
-- Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can become hot. -- After use, switch off the hob element at its control, and do not rely on the pan detector (Only for appliances with glass surface). Disposal of household appliances --- This product is built from recyclable or reusable materials. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local regulations for waste disposal. Before scrapping, cut off the power supply cable.
Safeguarding the environment Disposal of packaging materials Energy saving tips The packaging material is entirely recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol ( ). Do not dispose of the various packaging materials carelessly, but do so responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal. For optimum results, observe the following advice: • Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone. • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
Using existing pots and pans Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected. -- Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may scratch the hob’s glass ceramic surface. Check dishes. -- Never place hot pots or pans on the hob’s control panel. This could result in damage.
Electrical connection WARNING ------- Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician who is fully aware of current safety and installation regulations. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for injury to persons or animals, or for damage to property resulting from failure to observe the regulations provided in this chapter. The power supply cable must be long enough to allow the hob to be removed from the worktop.

Instructions for use Flexible zone This function allows you to use two cooking zones as an extra-large single zone. It is perfect for oval, rectangular and elongated pans (with maximum base dimensions of 40x18 cm). After switching on the hob, press the key: the two cooking zone displays show level “0”; both dots next to the level number are lit, indicating selection as a single cooking zone.

Cleaning WARNING --- Never use steam cleaners. Before cleaning, ensure that the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator (“H”) is not displayed. IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or pan scourers as they could ruin the glass surface. • After each use, clean the hob once it has cooled in order to remove any food residues. • Sugar and foods with a high sugar content damage the glass ceramic surface and must be immediately removed.
After-Sales Service Before contacting the After-Sales Service 1. See whether you can eliminate the problem on your own by referring to the “Troubleshooting guide”. 2. Turn the hob off and on again, and check whether the problem has been eliminated. If the fault persists after the above checks, contact the nearest After-Sales Service.
