The appliance could be damaged if connected wrongly!

When connecting electrical appliances in the proximity of cooking surfaces and ovens, make sure that connecting cables do not become jammed under the hot oven door or come into contact with hot cooking surfaces.

Only ever operate the appliance under supervision. Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires.

Caution: the appliance heats up during operation. Keep children away.

Do not operate the cooking positions without pots and pans placed on them.

To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.

Do not store any substances that are sensitive to high temperatures, or which pose a fire hazard (e.g. cleaning agents or spray cans), in drawers or cupboards under the appliance.

Operation of the appliance must be discontinued immediately if improper use produces cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking surface, with the result that live parts can come into contact directly or indirectly with seeping liquid or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the mains plug or switch off the corresponding mains fuse. Call after-sales service!

Isolate the appliance from the mains during every maintenance operation. To do this, remove the mains plug or switch off the corresponding fuse.

Repairs must be carried out by authorised specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.

As the user, you are responsible for maintenance and proper use in the household. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions.

Subject to technical change without notice.

Operating for the first time

Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it according to local regulations. Be careful to remove all accessories from the packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic bags away from children.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The

guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Check the appliance for transport damage before installing it.

The appliance must be installed and connected by an authorised specialist before operation. Before operating the appliance for the first time, make sure that the mains connection is in proper working order.

The serial number of the appliance can be found on the quality control slip which is included with these instructions. This quality control slip should be kept, for guarantee reasons, together with your operating and assembly instructions.

Read through these instructions attentively before operating your appliance for the first time.

Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories before using them for the first time. This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and soiling (see chapter "Cleaning and care").

About use

The appliance is intended solely for household use and must not be put to any other uses.

Use the appliance to prepare meals only. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room in which it is installed.

Do not use the cooking surface as space to store items. Do not place any hot pots on the display panel.

Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding cooking zone before operating it. Do not remove the cooking vessel until you have switched off the hotplate. The size of pots and pans should correspond to the size of the hotplate. This will save you energy and time.

Switch off the hob after use.

Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases of some pots. These do not interfere with the operation of the glass ceramic hob.

Always keep the cooking area and control panel dry and clean. The surface can be scratched due to dirt (e.g. sand grains).

Never heat food in aluminium or plastic containers as the material can melt and damage your hob.

Built-in overheating protection prevents overheating of the appliance and of surrounding kitchen furniture.

If installed above a pyrolytic oven, the overheating protection may be triggered when the hob is operated during a pyrolytic cleaning cycle.

3. Operating principles

Sensor pads

Display

Residual heat display

The cooking range is operated by touch control sensors. Touch the required sensor pad in the shaded area as shown in the picture. You only need to touch the pad with your finger, no pressure is required. Every accepted input is confirmed by an audible signal.

Always keep the control panel clean. Do not place hot cooking dishes on the control panel.

When you touch more than one sensor pad simultaneously or if any object (e.g. cooking spoon, dish cloth) lie on the sensor pads, the appliance registers this as an error. No input is registered and several short tones are sounded.

When the appliance is switched on, a spot lights up on the main switch symbol.

The given cooking level is shown on the display of each cooking zone.

A flashing display shows that a value has not yet been confirmed.

The residual heat display appears on the display of the relevant cooking zone after switching off.

The moving zero in the cooking level display indicates that, after switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled down to such an extent that it can be safely touched.

Additional features

Cooking zone extension page 12-13

The front left cooking zone can be extended to a middle or large diameter.

Both rear cooking zones convert, together with an additional zone, to an oval cooking zone especially suitable for roasters.

Automatic quick-boil function page 14

The cooking range features an automatic quick-boil function. The feature is selected by touching the required cooking zone twice on the control panel. The cooking zone returns to the selected level after the quick-boil time has expired.

Memory function page 10

The cooking range stores all the set cooking levels and time values for 15 seconds after it has been switched off. You are therefore able to retrieve all the previous values should you switch it off accidentally.

Timer page 15-16

It is possible to program an automatic switch-off time for one or several of the cooking zones. It is also possible to use the timer independently.

Overheating protection page 17

Residual heat display

Once you have switched off a cooking zone, residual heat is shown on the display as a moving zero. This indicates that the cooking zone is still giving off heat and has not cooled down sufficiently to be touched safely.

Memory function

The cooking range stores all the set cooking levels and time values for 15 seconds after it has been switched off. You are therefore able to retrieve all the previous values should you switch it off accidentally.

Proceed as follows:

• Touch the main switch. The previous values flash on the display panel.
• Should you wish to accept the stored values: tap the symbol timer within 5 seconds. You will hear a signal. The previous values are now accepted.
• Failure to follow the above procedure exactly results in the stored values being lost.

Energy saving tips

Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and the energy use reduced.

Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate. When buying pots, pay attention to the fact that the manufacturer frequently specifies the top pot diameter, which is generally larger than the diameter of the base.

We recommend that you use high quality pots and pans with thick flat bases.

For longer cooking times, it is possible to switch off the cooking zone before the end of the cooking time to make use of the residual heat.

This appliance may be installed in kitchen combinations made of wood or similar combustible materials without taking additional measures.

The built-in furniture and worktop where the appliance is installed must be heat resistant up to temperatures of 200^ / 90^ .

Installation CK 481

The appliance is installed in a base cabinet with a width of more than 900mm .

• Produce the recess for the hob in your worktop. Proceed as indicated on the installation sketch.

Note: the hob must not be stuck onto the worktop with silicone.

• Insert the hob with the control panel front right into the cut-out and align it.
• Secure the appliance on the worktop with the clamping screws included. Fasten the clamping screws as marked by the black arrows in the picture. The dotted arrows show alternative fixing points if required by the installation conditions.

Note:

During installation be careful that the front right clamping screw is fitted to the worktop front side, as fitting the clamping screw to the side can damage the appliance base. Do not tighten the clamping screws too tightly, as a uniform sealing gap should be left all round.

• Connect the appliance to the electricity. Check the appliance works correctly.

Removal of the hob

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity. Undo all the clamping screws. Carefully push out the appliance by the metal base from below.

Note:

Do not try to lever the hob out of the worktop cut out using a tool.

Installation CK 482

CK 482 is suitable for flush mounting into stone or tiled worktops.

Other worksurfaces (i.e. wood, plastic, Corian, etc.) are unsuitable.

The appliance is installed in a base cabinet with a width of more than 900mm . As the hob is fixed in place, it has to be easily accessible from below in case of repairs.

The surface of the installed hob should not be below the worktop surface.

Through dimensional tolerance of the glass ceramic plate and the worktop cut out, the width of the joint may vary.

• Clean and degrease the edge of the cut-out, using a suitable cleaner (follow the instructions given by the silicone manufacturer).
• Insert the hob with the control panel front right into the cut-out and align it. Make sure to leave an even space all round.

• Secure the appliance to the worktop with the clamping screws included. Make sure the appliance is flush with the worktop.

• Connect the appliance to the electricity. Check the appliance is working correctly before sealing.

• Seal the space between the work surface and the hob with a suitable temperature resistant silicone (e.g. Novasil, Pactan) and smooth the joint with the suitable wetting agent recommended by the manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Note:

Unsuitable silicone can permanently discolour natural stone work surfaces.

Do not use the appliance until the silicone is completely dry.

Removal of the hob

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity. Undo all the clamping screws. Using a sharp knife cut the silicone along the edge of the glass ceramic plate. From below push the hob carefully up, until it is free from the cut-out. You can now carefully remove the hob upwards.
