Warning! Please comply with these instructions. If you do not, any damage resulting is not covered by the warranty.

Correct use

• This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking and frying of food.
• The appliance must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.
• Additions or modifications to the appliance are not permitted.
• Do not place or store flammable liquids, highly inflammable materials or fusible objects (e.g. plastic film, plastic, aluminium) on or near the appliance.

Children's safety

• Small children must be kept away from the appliance.
• Only let bigger children work on the appliance under supervision.
• To avoid small children and pets unintentionally switching the appliance on, we recommend activation of the child safety device.

General safety

• The appliance may only be installed and connected by trained, registered service engineers.
• Built-in appliances may only be used after they have built in to suitable built-in units and work surfaces that meet standards.

Subject to change without notice

• In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ceramic (cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by trained registered service engineers.

Safety during use

• Remove stickers and film from the glass ceramic.
• There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used carelessly.
• Cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot surface of the appliance or hot cookware.
  Overheated fats and oils can ignite very quickly. Warning! Fire hazard!
• Switch the cooking zones off after each use.
• Users with implanted pacemakers should keep their upper body at least 30~cm from induction cooking zones that are switched on.
• Risk of burns! Do not place objects made of metal, such as knives, forks, spoons and saucepan lids on the cooking surface, as they can get hot.

Safety when cleaning

• For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
• For safety reasons, the cleaning of the appliance with steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment is not permitted.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• The glass ceramic can be damaged by objects falling onto it.

• The edge of the glass ceramic can be damaged by being knocked by the cookware.

• Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic if pushed across the surface.

• Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the glass ceramic and should be removed straightaway.

• Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware.

• To avoid damaging cookware and glass ceramics, do not allow saucepans or frying pans to boil dry.

• The ventilation gap of 5mm between the worktop and front of the unit underneath it must not be covered.

Residual heat indicator

Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator H.
Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Operating the appliance

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

Switching the appliance on and off

	Control panel	Display
Switch on	Touch ① for 2 seconds	D/ H
Switch off	Touch ① for 1 second	H/none

i After switching on, within approx. 10 seconds a heat setting or a function

must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

Switching the power function on and off

The power function () makes additional power available to the front induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large volume of water to the boil. The power function is activated

for 8 minutes for the front left cooking zone and for 5 minutes for the front right cooking zone. After these times, the induction cooking zones automatically return to cooking level [9].

	Control panel	Display
Switch on	Touch ⊙	P
Switch off	Touch ⊙	G
	Touch -	G

If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to the heat setting set previously.

Power Management

The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power available to them. Two cooking zones make up a pair (see figure).

So that the Power function can always be carried out, Power Management may reduce the power of the other cooking zone in the pair

Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a cooking zone. The Power function is switched on for the cooking zone paired up with it. The Power function is performed, but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cooking zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both.

Therefore Power Management reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and then remains on the current maximum of

1. (Whether the display alternates between 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the size of the cooking zone.)

Using the timer

All cooking zones can use each use one of the two timer functions at the same time.

Function	Condition	Outcome after the time has elapsed
Automatic cut-out	a heat setting is set	acoustic signal 00 flashes Cooking zone switches off
Countdown timer	cooking zones not in use	acoustic signal 00 flashes

If a cooking zone is switched off, the timer function set is also switched off.

the cooking zone is switched off after the time set has elapsed.

If a heat setting is set on this cooking zone in addition to a countdown timer,

2.	Touch once	Pilot light of the second cooking zone flashes	00
3.	Touch once	Pilot light of the third cooking zone flashes	00
4.	Touch once	Pilot light of the fourth cooking zone flashes	00

The heat setting indicator of the selected cooking zone goes out, as long as the timer time can be set.
If the pilot light is flashing more slowly, the heat setting indicator appears again and the heat setting can be re-set or modified.

If other timer functions are set, after a few seconds the shortest remaining time of all the timer functions is displayed and the corresponding pilot light flashes.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can

constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Warning! Risk of injury from electrical current.

• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
• Use strain relief clamp on cable.
• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90^ (or higher) must be used.
• If this appliance's mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special

cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90^ ; or higher). The latter is available from the Customer Care Department.

A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3mm .
