3.3.6 Residual heat warning

When the hob has been in operation for some time, it will generate residual heat. The letter “H” appears to warn you of this residual heat.

3.3.7 Standard operating times

Another safety function the hob offers is automatic shutdown. The hob shuts off automatically if you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The standard shutdown times are listed in the following table: Power level

Standard working time (in hours)

Be careful when frying foods, since oil and grease can heat up very quickly, especially if you use PowerBoost mode. At extremely high temperatures, oil and grease will spontaneously combust, creating a serious fire hazard.

• Once food in a pot or pan is boiling, reduce the temperature setting.

• If you use a lid, this will shorten cooking times and save energy, since the lid holds in heat.

• Minimise your quantity of liquid or grease to shorten cooking times.

• Start cooking on a high level, and reduce the heat once food is warmed through.38

4.1.1 Simmering, cooking rice

• Food simmers below the boiling point, at around 85 ˚C, when bubbles only reach the surface of the liquid occasionally. This method can be used to cook delicious soups and stews, allowing the aroma to develop slowly and avoiding overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based sauces and thickened sauces under the boiling point.

• Some tasks, like cooking rice using the absorption method, may require a slightly higher setting so that food can be cooked within the recommended time.

1. Let the meat sit at room temperature for approx. 20 minutes before cooking.

2. Heat up a heavy pan.

3. Coat both sides of the steak with oil. Add a small amount of oil to the hot pan, then place the meat

4. Turn the steak only once during searing. The exact time required to sear the steak will depend on

its thickness and on how well done you would like it to be. Times may range from approx. 2 - 8 minutes per side. Press on the steak to see how well cooked it is. The firmer it feels, the more the meat is cooked through.

5. Let the steak rest on a warm plate for several minutes before serving it.

1. Choose a wok with a flat base that is compatible with ceramic hobs, or a large frying pan.

2. Get all of your ingredients and equipment ready. You should stir-fry the food quickly. if you are

cooking a large quantity of food, cook dishes in several smaller portions.

3. Heat the pan up briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.

4. First, fry the meat. Then set it aside and keep it warm.

5. Stir-fry the vegetables. Once vegetables are hot but still crispy, turn down the cooking zone power

to a lower level. Add the meat back to the pan, then the sauce.

6. Stir the ingredients carefully to warm them through.

7. Serve the dish immediately.

5. Temperature settings

The following settings are only approximate values. The exact setting will depend on multiple factors, including your cookware and the quantity of food you are cooking. Experiment with your ceramic hob to find the settings that best meet your needs. Temperature settings Suitable for

• carefully warming small amounts of food

• melting chocolate, butter and foods that burn quickly

• bringing soup to a boil

6. Care and cleaning

What? How? Important note! Everyday contamination on the glass (fingerprints, traces and spots of food, or contamination that does not contain sugar)

1. Switch off the power supply to

glass is still warm (but not hot!).

3. Wipe an dry the glass with a

clean dish towel or paper towel.

4. Switch the power supply to

• If the power supply to the hob has been switched off, the indicator “Hot surface” may not be displayed, but the cooking zone may still be hot! Be extremely careful.

• Steel wool, some nylon scouring pads and abrasive cleaning agents can scratch the glass. Always read the label to check whether your cleaner or scouring pad is suitable.

• Never leave cleaning residue on the hob: This may create spots on the glass. Burnt-on grease, melted foods and liquids containing sugar on the glass Remove these immediately with a scraper, spatula or razor blade scraper suitable for glass ceramic hobs. Caution with hot cooking zones:

1. Switch off the power supply to

2. Hold the blade or device at a

30° angle and scratch the dirt to a cool area of the hob.

3. Clean the dirt with a dish

towel or paper towel.

4. Complete steps 2 through 4

for “Everyday contamination on glass”.

• Remove spots of melted and sugary foods as quickly as possible. If these cool on the glass, they can be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.

• Cutting hazard: Removing the safety guard exposes the blade of the hob scraper, which is razor sharp. Use the hob scraper with great caution, and always store it in a safe location outside of the reach of children.40 Contamination on touch operating elements

1. Switch off the power supply to

2. Wipe the contamination off.

3. Wipe the touch operating

elements with a clean, moist sponge or cloth.

4. Wipe the surface with a paper

towel until it is completely dry.

5. Switch the power supply to

• The hob may beep and turn itself off. The touch operating elements also may not work as long as there is liquid on them.

Ensure the touch area is wiped dry before switching the hob back on.

Problem Possible causes What to do The hob cannot be switched on. No power. Ensure the ceramic hob is connected to the mains power and switched on. Check whether there is a power outage at your house or in your area. If you have checked everything and the problem still persists, call a qualified technician.

The touch operating elements do not react. The touch operating elements are locked. Unlock the operating elements. See the section “Using your ceramic hob” for more information.

The touch operating elements are difficult to operate. There may be a slight film of water on the operating elements or you may be using your entire fingertip to touch the operating elements.

Ensure the touch operating elements area is dry and that you are only using the very end of your finger to operate the touch operating elements. The glass is scratched. Cookware with sharp edges.

Inappropriate, abrasive pot cleaners or cleaning agents were used.

Use cookware with a flat, smooth base. See “Selecting the right cookware”. See “Care and cleaning”. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. This may be due to the structure of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrate at different frequencies). This is normal for this type of cookware and does not indicate a fault.41

8.1 Selecting installation accessories

Cut out the worktop using the dimensions indicated in the drawing. Leave a gap of at least 50mm around the cut-out for the purpose of installation and use. Ensure the worktop is at least 30 mm thick. To avoid an electrical shock and major deformation due to heat radiating from the hot hob, only use non-conductive, heat resistant work surface materials (wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic materials may only be used as worktop materials if they are impregnated). As shown in the following:

Note: The safety distance between the sides of the hob and insides of the worktop should be at least 3 mm.

7mm Always ensure that the ceramic hob is well ventilated, and that air inlets and outlets are not blocked. Ensure the ceramic hob is in proper operation condition without faults. As shown in the following: Note: The safety distance specified by the hood manufacturer must be observed between the appliance and an exhaust hood installed above it. Please observe the instructions of the hood manufacturer.42

A (mm) B (mm) C (mm) D E check with the hood manufacturer

Ensure that the ceramic hob is well ventilated, and that air inlets and outlets are not blocked. To prevent accidentally touching the hot base of the hob or an unexpected electrical shock during use, install an insert via screws at least 10 mm from the base of the hob.43 Ventilation openings are distributed across the outside of the hob. These may NEVER be blocked by the worktop after inserting the hob.

Please note that the glue used to join wood or plastic in your furnishings must withstand temperatures of at least 150 °C. Otherwise, there is a danger that layers may separate.

Therefore, the rear wall and adjacent and surrounding surfaces must also withstand 90 °C temperatures.

8.2 Before positioning the attachment bracket
