2 Instructions for assembly

2.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fi tters

• The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of cuts.

• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant (at least 75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are not suffi ciently heat resistant they may become deformed.

• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when installing the hob.

• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as minimum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams are maintained.

• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to be maintained in accordance with the instal- lation diagram.

• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety distance of at least 50 mm must be ensured. The side surface of the tall cupboard should be fi tted with heat resistant material. Due to working requirements, howe- ver, the distance should be at least 300 mm.

• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instructions for the cooker hood.

• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suff ocation.

• The induction hob is fi tted with a fan that switches on and off automatically. The fan starts slowly when the electronic system temperatures exceed a specifi c limit. When the induction hob is used intensively, the fan will switch to a greater velocity. Once the electronic system has cooled down suffi ciently, the fan will reduce its velocity and switch off again automatically.

• Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furni- ture or built-in units must provide for suffi cient ventilati- on of the induction hob.

• If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically rai- sed or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off device) it is likely that the cooling system does not cool suffi cient- ly. In this case we recommend that the back wall of the bottom kitchen unit in the area of the worktop cut-out be opened and that the front transverse strip of the unit be removed over the entire width of the appliance in order to promote the circulation of air. In order to better ventilate the hob, an air gap of 5 mm should be left at the front.

• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a baking oven without a cross fl ow cooling device.

• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in oven.

• When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since these could become bent on the un- derside of the hob and prevent the drawer from being opened and closed.

• If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is suffi ciently ventilated.

• The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, free- zers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.

• To avoid danger of fi re, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fi re or become defor- med on exposure to heat are directly next to or under the surface.

• The front panel of 170 mm must be inserted. It may only be removed with tools. Sealing of the hob Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit deliver- ed with the hob.

• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into contact with any electrical appliances.

• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (putty).

• The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with silicone sealant! This would make it impossible to remo- ve the hob at a later date without damaging it. Working surface cut-out Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate. The area is cut out as illustrated. The glass ceramic hob must have a level and fl ush bearing. Any distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sea- ling of the hob is properly seated.Instructions for assembly

Minimum distance to adjacent walls Opening dimensions Cutout dimensions Outer dimensions of the hob Important: There is a risk of breakage if the hob is canted or subjec- ted to stress during installation! Glue the sealing tape onto the corner of the supporting edge of the worktop so that no silicone adhesive can be pressed under the hob. Place the hob into the worktop cut-out without any adhesi- ve and align it. Use shims if necessary Fill the gap between the hob and the worktop with heat-re- sistant silicone adhesive. Important Silicone adhesive must not get under the support surface. If this occurs it will not be possible to remove the hob again at a later stage. No liability will be assumed in the case of failure to observe these instructions.

3.1 Operating the hob with the sensor keys

The glass ceramic hob is operated with touch control sen- sor keys. The sensor keys are operated as follows: lightly touch a symbol on the surface of the ceramic glass plate. A buzzer will indicate when the controls have been operated correctly. The touch control sensor key will then be indicated as “key”. Standby key (13) This key is used to switch the entire hob operational. It is, as it were, the main switch.

Fan indicator (15) .................Fan setting ................Fan time lagOperation

The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating fi eld which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base. With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food being cooked; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents. Advantages of the induction hob

• Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magneti- sable material are required).

• Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.

• Highly eff ective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pot.

• The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only he- ated through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to the surface.

• Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone or if the pan is too small, there will be no trans- mission of power. A blinking in the power level indicator points this out. If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power setting will switch on and the power setting indicator will light up. The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the power setting indicator will indicate a blinking

If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power will be supplied. Pan recognition limits Cooking zone diameter (mm) Recommended minimal diameter pan base (mm) 190 x 210 mm 120 The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter; if it is not, the induction heat will not be switched on. Al- ways place pots and pans in the middle of a cooking zone in order to achieve the best effi ciency. Important: The minimum diameter required to activate the pan recognition device may vary according to the type of pot or pan used!

4.3 Operation time limit

The induction hob has an automatic time limit function. The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone de- pends on the cooking level selected (see chart). This requires that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use. If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off , a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the display. The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 9 is possible). Operation time limit Selected cooking level Operation time limit in hours 1, 2 3, 4

If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g. when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will be activated. An acoustic signal sounds and ER03 will appear. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off . Please remove the item located in front of the sensor keys.

4.5 Protection against overheating (induction)

If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be possible to cool down the electronics system as requi- red at a high room temperature. In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically. Should E2 or ER21 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not suffi cient. This may occur if kitchen units have no openings. The installation may have to be checked (see the section on Ventilation).Operation

Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and have magnetic properties. The base must be suffi ciently large. Only use pots with a base suitable for induction. Suitable cookware Unsuitable cookware Enamelled steel pots with a thick base Pots made of copper, stainless steel, aluminium, oven-proof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta Cast iron pots with an ena- melled base Pots made of multi-layer stainless steel, stainless ferrite steel and aluminium with special base This is how to establish the suitability of a pot: Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction current. Magnet test: Move the magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob. Please note: When using pans suitable for induction from certain manu- facturers, noises may occur which are attributable to the design of these pans. Wrong: the base of the pan is curved. The electronic unit cannot determine the temperature correctly.

4.7 How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the cookware effi ciently.

• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the cooking zone.

• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually larger than the base of a pot.

• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are preserved.

• Always make sure that there is suffi cient fl uid in your pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be damaged as a result of overheating if the pres- sure cooker boils dry.

• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.

• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cook- ing. A large pot which is hardly fi lled will use up a lot of energy.

The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various power levels. In the chart you will fi nd examples of how to use each setting. Setting Suitable for

Off , using residual heat Simmering small portions Simmering level Simmering larger quantities or roasting larger pieces of meat until they are cook- ed through Roasting, getting juices Roasting Bringing to the boil, browning, roasting Power boost (highest power output) A higher power level may need to be selected for cooking pots without a lid.

4.9 Residual heat display

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a residual heat indicator. As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has been switched off , the residual heat can be used for melting food or for keeping food warm. The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer lights up. Risk of burns! The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of an induction cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat refl ec- ted by the pan.Operation

4.10 Switching the appliance into the standby mode

This standby key is used to switch the entire hob operatio- nal. It is, as it were, the main switch. An automatic test of the controls will be carried out fi rst of all, and the displays will light up briefl y. When the hob has been switched off with this key, it will re- main on standby for approx. another 120 min. Attention! The residual heat indicator will no longer operate when the appliance has completely switched off .

4.11 Operating the keys

The controls described here expect the pressing of a (selecti- on) key to be followed by the pressing of a subsequent key. The next key will need to be pressed within 10 seconds, otherwise the selection will be deleted. The Plus/ Minus keys can be touched individually or be per- manently pressed.

4.12 Switching on the hob and cooking zones

1. Press the ON/OFF key of the hob (1 s.) until the power

setting 0 appears. The controls are ready for operation.

2. Then press a cooking zone selection key (e.g.

for front). The selected power setting display will light up brightly.

3. Use the Plus key or Minus key to select a power

setting. The plus key will activate power setting 1 and the minus key power setting 9.

4.20 Power management

For technical reasons two cooking zones always comprise a module and have a maximum power level. If this power range is exceeded when a higher power setting level or the power boost function is switched on the power management system will reduce the power setting of the cor- responding cooking zone of the module. The display for this cooking zone will initially blink, after which the highest-possible power setting will be consistently display- ed. Modules (power management)Operation

The fan is located in the middle of the hob with the extractor facing downwards. Important: Do not put the cover onto the induction hob! Risk of bur- ning!

simultaneously again. The fan setting can be freely adjusted or changed when the fan time lag is switched on.

4.21.3 Stop delay time

The fan motor should continue operating for another 10-20 mi- nutes every time the hob has been used for cooking. When the fan is switched off after having been in operation for at least 15 minutes, an automatic time lag at a low setting will follow for around 15 minutes. This guarantees optimal functioning and the removal of remai- ning cooking steam. When using a recirculating air fi lter, please always allow for a stop delay time of 10 - 60 minutes in order to optimally remove cooking odours. When the fan is switched on again, in rare cases the odour mo- lecules present in the fi lter may be combined with steam so that they are detected again. These remaining odours will disappear when the fan continues to operate. Important When the convection air mode is in operation, ventilation must be suffi cient in order for the air humidity to be removed.Cleaning and care

• Switch the hob off and let it cool down before you clean it.

• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam clea- ner or similar appliance!

• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be acci- dentally switched on!

5.1 Glass ceramic hob

Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and stain removers etc. Cleaning after use

1. Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled.

It is recommended that you do so every time the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob. Weekly cleaning

2. Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with com-

mercial glass ceramic cleaning agents. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective fi lm which is resistant to water and dirt. All the dirt will re- main on the fi lm and can then easily be removed. Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob since this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surface.

5.2 Specifi c soiling

Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mo- ther-of-pearl-type stains) can best be removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob. Proceed as outlined under Item 2. First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2. Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed imme- diately, when they are still hot, with a glass scraper. Then clean the hob again as described under Item 2. Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you peel potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of sand are left on the hob. Changes in the colour of the hob will not aff ect the func- tion and the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt into the surface. Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are diffi cult to remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.

Cleaning the metal grease fi lters Clean the metal grease fi lters in the dishwasher or in mild soapy water at least once a month or in the event of excessive grease deposits and/or intensive use. To remove the fi lter, lift up the fan cover and lift the U-sha- ped stainless steel ventilation plate in the suction intake opening upwards to remove it from the fan. Now remove the fi lter. To do so, press the lock in the recessed handle downwards and remove the fi lter. The fi lter can be rinsed in a dishwasher. Stand the fi lter upright in the dishwasher. Please use only rinse aid that is suitable for use with aluminium in order to avoid damaging and discolouring the fi lters. Never rinse right next to glasses or light-coloured porce- lain. Do not operate the fan without grease fi lters! After rinsing the fi lter, dry it and replace it in the fan. Please make sure that the recessed handle is visible after you have replaced the fi lter. If possible, wipe the easily acces- sible inside of the fan with a cloth dampened with deter- gent every time you replace a fi lter, while at the same time paying attention to protruding parts in the inside of the fan. Fan cleaning and care The fan is best cleaned every time you clean the fi lters. Condensation water may collect under the fi lter after water has boiled rapidly with the lid of the pot removed. This is quite normal. The water should, however, be removed and the inside of the fan cleaned. The ventilation openings in the cover ensure that residual moisture resulting from cooking and cleaning can escape if necessary when the fan is not in operation and the cover is on. Please clean the fi lter and the inside of the fan if unplea- sant remaining odours escape. The fan is best cleaned with a soft damp cloth and mild soapy water. Service The fi lter must remain accessible. Replace the charcoal fi lter mats of a charcoal fi lter every 5 to 24 months. Replace the charcoal fi lter mats of plasma fi lters at least every 5 years. To do so, open the cover of the casing and replace the charcoal fi lter mats.What to do if trouble occurs?

6 What to do if trouble occurs? Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unquali- fi ed persons are dangerous as they can result in an elec- tric shock or a short circuit. Do not interfere with or try to repair the appliance; this could cause injury to persons and damage to the appliance. Always have such work done by an expert, e.g. a Customer Service technician. Please note If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify the problem yourself by consulting these instruc- tions for use. You may be able to rectify some problems yourself. They are described below. The fuses blow regularly? Contact a technical customer service or an electrician! You can't switch your induction hob on?

• Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown a fuse?

• Has the hob been connected to the mains?

• Are the sensor keys locked (lock)?

• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fl uid or a metallic object? Please rectify.

• Are you using unsuitable cookware? See the section on "Cookware for induction hobs". The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound. Food which has boiled over, cookware or other items are causing the touch control sensor keys to be consistently operated. Remedy: clean the surface or remove the item. To delete the symbol press the same key or switch the hob off and on. Error code E2 is indicated? The electronic unit is too hot. Check the installation of the hob. Make sure that there is suffi cient ventilation. See the section on “Protection against overheating”. See the section on “Ventilation”. Error code E8 is indicated? Fault on the left or right fan. The suction opening is blo- cked or covered or the fan is defect. Check the installation of the hob. Make sure that there is suffi cient ventilation. See the section on “Protection against overheating”. See the section on “Ventilation”. Error code U400 is indicated? The hob has been incorrectly connected. The controls will switch off after 1sec. and a continuous signal will sound. Connect the appliance to the appropriate power supply. An error code (ERxx or Ex) is indicated? The appliance has developed a technical defect. Please call Customer Service. The pot sign appears? A cooking zone has been switched on and the hob is ex- pecting a suitable pot or pan to be placed on the cooking zone (pan recognition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking zone will power be supplied. The pot sign still appears, even though a pot or pan was placed on the hob? The cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking or the pot or pan is too small. Is the cookware you are using making noises? This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot are not at risk. Does the cooling fan still operate after it has been switched off ? This is normal since the electronic unit is being cooled down. Is the hob making noises (clicking or cracking sounds)? This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided. Does the hob have tears or cracks? There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer Service. Pulsating cooking? The induction heating elements can only switch their po- wer down to a certain power setting. The heating element will start to clock below this power setting. This means that the induction heating element will switch on and then off again at certain intervals irrespectively of the selected power setting. This clocking can be heard and will become visible when you are cooking through bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan and then disappearing again. This pulsating cooking is normal at certain power levels and will not have any negative eff ect on the results of cooking. Remedy: Make sure that pots and pans have a thick base so that they have good heat retention and distribution pro- perties. Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid. A lot of energy is lost when cooking pots without a lid are used.Customer Service
