Operating Instructions

!Safety instructions

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.
• 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.

Setting the heat setting

	Ring switch Fan level
To increase turn to the right to		1 9
To decrease turn to the left to		9 1
To switch off turn to zero /		0 H

Switching the power function on and off

The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.

	Ring switch Display
To switch on	Briefly turn to the right past the stop position
To switch off	turn to the left

The power function remains activated for differing periods of time:

Cooking zone diameter [mm]	Power time [min]
210	10
180	10
140	4

Power Management

The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power.

The maximum power is reached when the heat setting 9 has been set for all cooking zones.

Two cooking zones generate a pair (see figure) and therefore, the power management shares the maximum available power between these cooking zones.

When the power function is selected for one cooking zone, the power management makes the additional power for this cooking zone available by reducing the power of the corresponding other cooking zone.

Example: the heat setting 9 is selected on one cooking zone. The power function is switched on for the corresponding cooking zone. The power function is carried out but the heat setting 9 of one of the cooking zones and the power function for the other cooking zone of the pair exceed the maximum power for both

at the same time. For this purpose, the power management reduces the power of the cooking zone that switched on first from 9 to example 5 and the display of this cooking zone changes between 9 and 5 and then stays at the current possible maximum 5. (If the display changes between 9 and 5 or 9 and 3 or another value depends on the type of appliance and the size of the cooking zone.)

Using the child safety device

The child safety device prevents unintentional use of the appliance.

	Ring switch
To switch on Simultaneously	eously briefly turns ring switches 1 and 3 to the left away from the zero setting	L appears in all 4 displays when an attempt is made to switch on a heat setting.

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.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

Cookware material

Cookware material suitable
Cast iron +
Steel, enamelled steel +
Stainless steel +*
Multi-layer pan bottom +*

• Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if ...

• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated very quickly.
  ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware base

The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.

Pan size

Up to a certain limit, induction cooking zones adapt themselves to the size of the bottom of the cookware automatically. However, depending on the cooking zone size, the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter.

Diameter of cooking zone [mm]	Minimum diameter of dish base [mm]
210 180
180	145
140	120

The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.

Tips on energy saving

Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.
