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.

Rectifying faults
Faults often have simple explanations. Please read the notes in the table before calling the after-sales service.
The electronics of your hob are underneath the control panel. For various reasons, the temperature in this area may rise sharply.
In order that the electronics do not overheat, the hotplates are switched off as and when necessary. The F2 , F4 , or F5 display appears alternately with the H or h residual heat indicator.
Display Fault Measure
| Blank There is no power supply. Check the household fuse for the appliance. Check whether there is a power cut by trying other electronic appliances. | |
| All displays flash The touch controls are wet or an object is resting on them. | Dry the touch controls or remove the object. |
| F2 | Several hotplates have been used over a prolonged period at high power settings. To protect the electronics, the hotplate has been switched off. |
| F4 Despite the switch-off by F2, the electronics have become hot again. All hot-plates have therefore been switched off. | Wait a while. Touch any touch control. When F4 goes out, the electronics have cooled down sufficiently. You can continue cooking. |
| F5 and the heat set-ting flash alternately. An audible signal can be heard | Warning: There is a hot pan in the area of the control panel. There is a risk that the electronics will overheat. |
| F5 and audible sig-nal | There is a hot pan in the area of the con- trol panel. To protect the electronics, the hotplate has been switched off. |
| F8 | The hotplate was in operation for too long and has switched itself off. |
