These pre- cautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. ▶ When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precau- tions must be followed, including those in the following pages. WARNING Overheated materials can cause fire or burns. ▶ Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. ▶ Do not allow pans to boil dry. Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire. ▶ Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

A fire could occur during cooking. ▶ Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. ▶ Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window cover- ings do not blow over or near the burners or heating ele- ments. They could catch on fire. Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly. ▶ Never use water on cooking fires. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE ▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set- tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set- tings. ▶ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju- bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’). ▶ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. ▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. ▶ Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter! Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system. ▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys- tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Ex- tend Over Adjacent Surface Units. ▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate- rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi- tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSPreventing material damage en-us Preventing material damage 2 Preventing material damage Preventing material damage NOTICE: Cookware with rough bottoms scratch the glass ceramic surface. ▶ Check the bottom of the cookware before setting it down. Salt, sugar or grains of sand scratch the glass ceramic surface. ▶ Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for set- ting things down. Overheating can damage the cookware. ▶ Do not heat empty pots or pans. Hot cookware can cause the electronics to overheat. ▶ Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or the cooktop frame. When hard or sharp objects fall on the cooktop, they can cause damage. ▶ Do not let hard or pointed objects fall on the cooktop. Aluminum foil and plastic melt on hot cooking zones. ▶ Do not let aluminum foil or plastic come into contact with hot cooking zones. ▶ Do not use cooktop protective film. Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface. ▶ Refer to the cleaning recommendations in this manual.

"Cleaning and maintenance", Page24 2.1 Overview of the most common types of damage Here you can find an overview of the most common types of damage and suggestions how to avoid them. Stains Cause How to avoid Boiled-over food Remove boiled-over food imme- diately with a glass scraper. Unsuitable cleaning agents Use cleaning agents that are suit- able for glass ceramic cooktops. Scratches Cause How to avoid Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space. Cookware with rough bases Check the cookware. Discolorations Cause How to avoid Unsuitable cleaning agents Use cleaning agents that are suit- able for glass ceramic cooktops. Pot abrasion (e.g. aluminum) Lift pots and pans when moving them. Blisters Cause How to avoid Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove boiled-over food imme- diately with a glass scraper. Environmental protection and energy-saving 3 Environmental protection and en- ergy-saving Environmental protection and energy-saving 3.1 Disposal of packaging The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. ▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately. 3.2 Saving energy If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en- ergy. Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone. Tip:For frying pans, cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the pan base is usually smaller.

The energy is targeted at the cookware. If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware. Close cookware with a fitting lid.

If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape. Use a glass lid.

If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid. Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption. Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.

Large cookware with little content consumes a lot of en- ergy. Cook with a small amount of water.

More water requires more energy to heat it up. Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.

For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient. Induction cooking 4 Induction cooking Induction cooking 4.1 Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking is fundamentally different from tradi- tional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages: ¡ Saves time when boiling and frying. ¡ Saves energy. ¡ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.en-us Induction cooking

¡ Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop in- creases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction cooking zone stops the heat supply when you remove the cookware from the cooking zone without you having to switch it off first. 4.2 Cookware Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example: ¡ Enameled steel cookware ¡ Cast iron cookware ¡ Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for in- duction cooking You can find additional information on which items of cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not de- tected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter. The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully ferromagnetic: If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for cooking. Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferro- magnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cook- ware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently. Unsuitable cookware Never use heat diffuser plates or cookware made of the following: ¡ Thin-walled normal steel ¡ Glass ¡ Clay ¡ Copper ¡ Aluminum Composition of the cookware base The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy. You should preferably use cookware with a flat base be- cause uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply. No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off. Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not re- spond quickly enough and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, contact Customer Service. Cookware detection Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diame- ter of the pan base. Automatic detection in the case of dual or triple cooking zones These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. Depending on the material and the properties of the cookware, the cooking zone automatically adapts to the single, double or triple cooking zone in such a way that the corresponding power level is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result.Familiarizing yourself with your appliance en-us

You can fry while the pan maintains the selected temperature. Advantages when using the AutoChef® function: ¡ The cooking zone only continues heating for as long as this is necessary to maintain the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from overheat- ing. ¡ The frying function reports when the empty frying pan has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and then for adding the food. General notes for using the AutoChef® function: ¡ Do not place a lid on the frying pan. This will prevent the function from activating correctly. Use a splatter guard to prevent fat from spitting out. ¡ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter, mar- garine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use temperature setting 1 or 2. ¡ Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are heating it. ¡ If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not acti- vated correctly. Suitable pans for AutoChef® A suitable sensor frying pan for the AutoChef® function is available as an optional accessory. You can purchase suitable sensor frying pans from Cus- tomer Service, in our online shop www.bosch-home.com/ us/shop or in specialized stores. Always indicate the rele- vant reference number. Reference number Special accessory HEZ390210 Sensor frying pan Ø6" (15cm) HEZ390220 Sensor frying pan Ø7" (19cm) HEZ390230 Sensor frying pan Ø8¼" (21cm) The sensor frying pans have a non-stick coating, which means that very little oil is needed for frying. Conventional frying pans CAUTION When using a conventional frying pan observe the follow- ing notes. ▶ The AutoChef® function has been configured specifi- cally for our system pans. ▶ Other frying pans may overheat. They may reach a tem- perature above or below the selected frying level. Try the lowest frying level first and then change it according to your requirements. ▶ Make sure that the diameter of the base of the frying pan corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. Place the pan in the center of the cooking zone. Frying levels The AutoChef® function offers 5frying levels. Frying level Temperature Suitable for 1 Very low Preparing and reducing sauces, sweating vegetables and frying food in extra virgin olive oil, butter or margarine. 2 Low Frying food using extra virgin olive oil, butter or margarine, e.g. omelettes, French toast, hash browns. 3 Medium-low Frying fish, pancakes and thick food such as Hamburgers or pork chops. 4 Medium-high Frying ground meat, vegetables or thin slices of meat, e.g. veal cutlet. 5 High Frying food at high temperatures, e.g. steaks medium rare or fried cooked potatoes.en-us Operation

11.2 Noises Question Answer Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking? ¡ Noises may be generated while using the cooktop depending on the properties of the base of the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They do not indicate that there is a fault. Possible noises ¡ A deep humming noise similar to a transformer: Occurs when cooking at a high power level. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when you reduce the power level. ¡ A quiet whistling noise: This can be heard when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when you add water or food to the cookware. ¡ Crackling: This noise occurs when the cookware is made from different multilayer materials, or if you use cookware of different sizes and different materials. The volume of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method. ¡ Loud whistling noises: These may arise if you are operating two cooking zones at the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling noises disappear or become quieter when you reduce the power level. ¡ Fan noises: The cooktop is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched the cooktop off if the temperature measured is still too high. 11.3 Items of cookware Question Answer Which cookware is suitable for the induction cooktop? ¡ You can find additional information on which items of cookware are suitable for the in- duction cooking under

14.1 What this warranty covers & Who it ap- plies to The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you (“Prod- uct“), provided that the Product was purchased: ¡ For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal house- hold purposes. ¡ New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use. ¡ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply to the original pur- chaser of the product warranted herein and to each suc- ceeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to register your Product; while not nec- essary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety no- tice or product recall. 14.2 How long the warranty lasts Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original deliv- ery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, ex- tended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic de- fects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cos- metic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances. 14.3 Repair/replace as your exclusive rem- edy During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to re- pair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an addi- tional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and responsibility hereun- der is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal busi- ness hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to re- pair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent enti- ties and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representa- tives of Bosch). Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any lia- bility, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or envi- ronment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the near- est authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Further, to the extent you have in- stalled the Product in a difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibil- ity. 14.4 Out of warranty product Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to pro- vide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired. 14.5 Warranty exclusions The warranty coverage described herein excludes all de- fects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, in- cluding without limitation, one or more of the following: ¡ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limi- tation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunc- tion with air or water-going vessels). ¡ Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including selfperformed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's internal workings). ¡ Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind. ¡ A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the prod- uct in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations.en-us STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
