Environmental protection
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 throughout the EU.
Energy-saving tips
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
- Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Getting to know your appliance
The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2.
The hotplates
| Hotplate Activating and deactivating | |
| ○ Single-circuit hotplate | |
| ◎ Dual-circuit hotplate | To activate: turn the hotplate control clockwise to ⊙. Set the heat setting. To deactivate: turn the hotplate control to 0 and reset. Never turn the hotplate control beyond the ⊙ symbol to 0. |
| ∞ Extended cooking zone | To activate: Turn the hotplate control clockwise to ⊙. Set the heat setting. To deactivate: turn the hotplate control to 0 and reset. Never turn the hotplate control beyond the ⊙ symbol to 0. |
Hotplate and residual heat indicators
The hotplate and residual heat indicators light up when a hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
Setting the hob
This section informs you how to set the hotplates. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.
Switching the hob on and off
You can switch the hob on and off with the hotplate controls.
Table of cooking times
The following table provides some examples.
Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.
Setting a hotplate
Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting
Heat setting 9 - highest setting
Note: Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest setting.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9. Stir thick liquids occasionally.

Cleaning and care
The information in this section provides help on how best to care for your hob.
Suitable maintenance and cleaning products can be purchased from the after-sales service or in our e-Shop.
Ceramic
Clean the hob after each use. This will prevent spills from burning onto the ceramic.
