2 Safety Instructions andWarnings

2.1 For connection and operation

• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliances to the mains and repairing and servicing the appliances may only be carried out by a qualified electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service technician to install, service or repair the product.
• If the mains supply cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer Service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with an external timer or an external telecontrol system.

2.2 General information about the hob

• Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as the high power setting results in extremely fast reactions.
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the cooking zones. Avoid boiling the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been switched on.
  Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob for which no liability will be assumed.

• It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off with the respective minus key and not just with the pan recognition device.
  Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Switch the appliance off and then carefully cover the flame, for example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.

• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might break it.

• 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.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control immediately disconnect your appliance and call Customer Service.
  Take care when working with home appliances! Connection cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones. Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to avoid damaging the hob.
• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put down on the induction hob since they may become hot. Risk of burning!
• Do not place combustible, infl ammable or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns! Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not affected.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply may cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything ( pans, tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys!

If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the OFF key.
- Hot pans and pots should not cover resp. be moved to close to the sensor keys, since this will cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
- Place the pan as close to the centre of the cooking zone as possible.
- Whenever possible, use the back cooking zones for large pans so that the sensor keys are not heated up too much (touch control overheating; error message E2, touch control cut off).
- Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home which could make contact with the hob.
- Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!

3.1 Operating the hob with the sensor keys

The glass ceramic hob is operated with touch control sensor 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".

Permanent pan recognition

If the hob has permanent pan recognition, a cooking setting can only be directly switched on via the sensor fi eld after a pan has been detected on the hob and the power display shows 0.

3.2 Worth knowing about the slider (sensorfi eld)

In principle, the slider functions the same as the touch controls; the only difference is that you can put your finger on the glass ceramic surface and then move it around. The sensor fi eld recognises this movement and raises or lowers the display setting (cooking level) in accordance with the movement.

The term sensor fi eld is used to mean slider from now on.

123456789P

Sensor field

What must be observed when operating sensor fields?

Your finger should not be placed flat onto the glass ceramic surface in order to avoid adjacent keys/sensor fi elds from reacting by mistake.

Press the sensor field lightly or move your finger around

You can press the sensor fi eld very lightly with your finger; when this is done the setting on the display (cooking level) will gradually change.

When you put your finger on the sensor field and then move it to the left or right, the display setting will change progressively.

The faster the movement, the faster the change in the display.

4 Operation

4.1 The induction hob

The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating field 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 magnetisable material are required).
• Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
• Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pot.
  Rapid heat-up.
• The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to the surface.
  Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

4.2 Pan recognition

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 transmission 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 cooking level 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.

Please note

The permanent pan recognition recognizes on which cooking zone a pan is set up and shows a 0 in the corresponding power setting display.

Pan recognition limits

Cooking zone diameter (mm)	Recommended minimal diameter pan base (mm)
220x190 (Octa) 115

The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter; if it is not, the induction heat will not be switched on. Always place pots and pans in the middle of a cooking zone in order to achieve the best efficiency.

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 depends 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 minutes
- = -	120
1	520
2	402
3	318
4	260
5	212
6	170
7	139
8	113
9	90
P	10

4.4 Other functions

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.

The symbol Er03 will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please remove the item located in front of the sensor keys.

To delete the symbol Er03 press the same key or switch the hob off and on.

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 required 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 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not sufficient.

This may occur if kitchen units have no openings. The installation may have to be checked (see the section on Ventilation).

4.6 Cookware for induction hobs

Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and have magnetic properties. The base must be sufficiently 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 enamelled 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 manufacturers, 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 sufficient fluid in your pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.

4.8 Cooking levels

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

Setting Suitable for
0	Off, using residual heat
-	Melting 42°C
-	Keeping warm 70°C
-	Cooking 94°C
1-2	Simmering small portions
3	Simmering level
4-5	Simmering larger quantities or roasting larger pieces of meat until they are cooked through
6	Roasting, getting juices
7-8	Roasting
9	Bringing to the boil, browning, roasting
P	Power boost (highest power output)

A higher cooking level may need to be selected for cooking pots without a lid.

4.9 Residual heat display H

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 reflected by the pan.

4.10 Permanent pan recognition

If the hob has permanent pan recognition, a cooking setting can only be directly switched on via the sensor fi eld after a pan has been detected on the hob and the power display shows 0.

4.11 Operating the keys

The controls described here expect the pressing of a (selection) 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.

4.12 Switching on the hob and cooking zones

1. Press the ON/OFF key (approx. 1 sec.) until the cooking level 0 appears and a short signal will sound. c. The permanent pan recognition recognizes on which cooking zone a pan is set up and shows a 0 in the corresponding cooking level display.
2. Use the cooking level display (as a key) to select a cooking zone. The stand-by dot of the cooking zone selected will light up.
3. The touch control must be activated immediately afterwards. A cooking level will be switched on.

Notes

• Never operate the appliance unattended.
• Set the cooking levels just as you wish.

5 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 cleaner or similar appliance!
• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be accidentally 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

1. Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial 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 remain 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 Specific soiling

Heavy soiling and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother

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 immediately, 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 to the colour of the ceramic surface have no effect on the function and stability of the glass ceramic. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food residues which were not removed and which have burnt into the surface.

Shining areas are caused by wear from pan bottoms or unsuitable cleaning agents, especially when using cookware with aluminium bases or by unsuitable cleaning agents. They are difficult 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.

6 What to do if trouble occurs?

Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unqualified persons are dangerous as they can result in an electric 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 instructions 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 (childproof lock)?
• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fluid 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 sufficient 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 blocked or covered or the fan is defect.

Check the installation of the hob. Make sure that there is sufficient 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 expecting 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.

7 Instructions for assembly

7.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fi tters

Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant (at least 75^ ). If the veneers and surfaces are not sufficiently 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 installation 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 fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be at least 300~mm .
- 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 suffocation.

7.2 Ventilation

• The induction hob is fitted with a fan that switches on and off automatically. The fan starts slowly when the electronic system temperatures exceed a specific limit. When the induction hob is used intensively, the fan will switch to a greater velocity. Once the electronic system has cooled down sufficiently, the fan will reduce its velocity and switch off again automatically.
• Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture or built-in units must provide for suffi cients ventilation of the induction hob.
• If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically raised or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off device) it is likely that the cooling system does not cool sufficiently. 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 5mm should be left at the front.

7.3 Installation

Important information

• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a baking oven without a cross flow 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 underside 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 20mm to the underside of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is sufficiently ventilated.
• The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure to heat are directly next to or under the surface.

Sealing of the hob

Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered 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 remove the hob at a later date without damaging it.

Worktop 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 flush bearing. Any distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.
