Disposing of the packaging and your old appliance

Please dispose of the packaging that came with your appliance in an environmentally friendly way. Recycling in this way saves on resources and cuts down on waste. Your old appliance still contains useful raw materials. Take your old appliance to a recycling collection point. Please make your old appliances unserviceable before disposing of it, to prevent it from misuse.

1.1 Your new hob with Touch-Control operation This manual covers the model SE 2631 TC.

1.2 Touch-Control keys

After the supply voltage has been connected (mains connection), a self-test is carried out which is concluded when a short acoustic signal is to be heard.

1.3 Touch-Control operations

Each key operation is always confirmed by an acoustic signal. Pressing the on/off switch key switches on the control system. Put your finger on the button until a “0” lights up at all of the cooking level displays and the cooking zone stand-by dot flashes. The next action must be carried out within ten seconds, otherwise the control system will automatically switch off again. To switch on a cooking zone, press the corresponding cooking zone key of the required cooking zone. The appropriate cooking zone stand-by dot of the activated cooking zone lights up. Select a cooking level from 1 to 9 by means of the minus or plus keys /. When switched on, each cooking zone can be switched off again at any time. To do this, the required cooking zone must be activated; the cooking zone stand-by dot lights up. The minus key can be used to turn the cooking level down to “0”; if the minus and plus keys + are pressed at the same time, the cooking zone can be switched off directly. In all cases the complete control system can be switched off at any time by pressing the on/off key . To switch off the entire cooking range place your finger briefly on the on/off key until the control lights go out. Pressing locking key prevents all the keys - with the exception of the on/off key from being operated by mistake. Successful locking is indicated by the control lamp . Pressing the locking key cancels this command again.

Residual heat display

Residual heat is displayed by means of an illuminated “H” on the appropriate cooking level display .

Switch on the cooking zone by means of corresponding cooking zone button . Press the minus key and select cooking level 9. Then switch on the parboiling boost by means of the plus key . During the parboiling stage, the cooking level display switches continuously between the “A” sign (parboiling boost) and the cooking level which has been set. Now you can select the subsequent cooking level 1–8. If you quit cooking level 9 without selecting a subsequent cooking level from 1–8, then the parboiling boost is shut off automatically after 10 seconds. The parboiling boost time depends on the subsequent cooking level which has been selected; details are given in the enclosed time table. If the plus key is selected after the required subsequent cooking level has been selected, the parboiling boost time is adjusted upwards in accordance with the time chart. If the minus key is pressed after the required subsequent cooking level has been deselected, the parboiling boost is stopped beforehand.

Continuous operation of each individual cooking zone is temporally limited by a safety shut-off which switches off the cooking zone in accordance with the selected cooking level after a specified time interval. The intervention times of this safety device are included in the attached time table. When the safety switch-off has switched off the touch control system, an “0” is shown in the cooking level display , or an “H” if there is still any residual heat left. Pressing the on/off key makes the control system ready for operation again. If more than one key is pressed simultaneously - with the exception of the minus and plus keys - the control system will not accept this as a valid command. If one or more keys are activated for longer than 30 seconds, for example by boiling over or the weight for a pan, the control system assumes that there is an error and switches off automatically. If key operation continues, a constant acoustic signal sounds.

2. Things to watch out for

2.1 Notes on the right types of saucepans Use only pots and pans with bottoms that are firm, even and as thick as possible. This applies particularly to cooking with high temperatures, e.g. deep-frying. Uneven bottoms extend cooking times and increase energy consumption. The best transmission result is obtained when the pots and the cooking zone are of equal dimension. Always use a lid. Energy is wasted if you cook without a lid placed correctly on the pan. In order to work directly on the cooking zones, you can use cooking utensils made from fireproof glass or porcelain if their bottoms are flat polished. Please note the manufacturer’s instructions. Always take away overflow food. Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Afterwards, switch on the elements to the highest level one after the other, without pots, for three minutes in order to eliminate any odours due to newness and so that any moisture that may still be in the heating element may evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly.

Attention: The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Keep small children away at all times. Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface. Under certain circumstances the material is sensitive to mechanical stresses and strains. A heavy knock or blow in a small area can cause the ceramic hob to break. If careless treatment results in a break, split or crack, the ceramic hob must immediately be taken out of use and disconnected from the mains power supply. To do this, switch off the safety switch for the oven connection in the fuse box. Customer Service must be contacted. Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a storage area! Never prepare food in aluminium foil and plastic containers on the hot cooking zone. Do not switch the hob on without using it for cooking. Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob. When preparing food with fat or oil stay nearby. Overheated oil can ignite. Never pour water into burning fat or oil. Risk of burning! Cover the dish in order to extinguish the fire and switch off the cooking zone. Let the dish cool down on the cooking zone. In addition, make sure that leads from electrical appliances plugged into nearby sockets cannot come into contact with the hotplates. Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!

3. Cleaning and maintenance

Always clean the hob after it has cooled down. Even the slightest amount of dirt will burn into the surface the next time you switch it on. Use only recommended cleaners. Steel wool, cleaning sponges and abrasive powders scratch the surface. Do not use oven sprays as these are aggressive and damage the surface.

Light amounts of dirt

Use a damp cloth or a warm rinse to clean light amounts of dirt from the surface. Rinse with cold water and then dry thoroughly. Use vinegar, lemon juice or a calcium dissolving agent to remove water stains from the surface.

Use “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel”, “Stahlfix” or “Cerafix” to remove heavy dirt. Apply the cleaner with kitchen paper and rub it in. Leave it to take effect, then wipe off completely with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly. Cleaning residues on the surface can become aggressive when the hob is reheated. Persistent dirt and caking can best be removed with a glass scraper +. A glass scraper can be obtained in household goods stores, painting and DIY shops or from our Customer service. Pay attention to handle on purchasing. If you buy a glass scraper, make sure that the handle is not made of plastic as this will stick to the hot surface. Take care when using the scraper. Food that contains sugar may permanently damage the glass ceramic surface because they can produce scratches after they have become dry. In order to prevent such surface damage, such substances must be immediately removed with the glass scraper while they are still hot ,, .

Changes to the colour of the ceramic surface

These 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 in. is caused by wear from pan bottoms or Metallic iridescent discolouring unsuitable cleaning agents. This discolouring can be removed with great difficulty with “Sidol Special for Stainless Steel” or “Stahlfix”. You may have to clean several times to remove the discolouring. Worn decoration -. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms. Remove melted sugar and food containing sugar immediately while still hot with a glass scraper +, otherwise damage may be caused to the surface ,, . If cared for properly, your hob will remain beautiful for many years and cleaning will be easier. To care for your hob we recommend that you use “Cerafix”. The high silicone percentage of this cleaner creates a protective film which keeps off water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Clean your hob and the cooking zones regularly.

4.1 Worktop cut-out Carry out all cutting out of furniture units and worktops before fitting the appliance, and remove all sawdust and chips. The dimensions of the worktop recess can be seen in the dimension drawing (figs. 1+2). The cut sections should be sealed with a water-repellent protection paint. The worktop and the hob must be fitted horizontally. A tilted hob is under tension and this increases the danger of breaking.

Before installing the hob, check that the all-round hob seal has no gaps. If the hob is installed in a worktop with a ceramic or similar cover (tiles), remove the hob seal and seal the hob from the worktop with a plastic seal, such as heat-resistant silicone rubber. Important! If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side panels, drawers, etc.), then an intermediate bottom must be inserted in order to prevent accidental contact with the underside of the cooking surface. The touch guard may only be capable of removal with suitable tools and must be attached to the underside of the cooking surface at a minimum distance of 20 mm so that the mains connection cable does not touch the underside of the cooking surface (fig. 4). If the cooking surface is to be inserted over a built-in baking oven, then it must be equipped with a cooling fan. An intermediate bottom is not necessary in this case. No cross-bars may be in the area of the cut-out underneath. Place the hob carefully into the cut-out and fasten it to the worktop with the fasteners (fig. 3). Tighten the screws with a hand screw driver only; do not use a battery-operated screw driver. Make sure that the worktop and the hob are horizontal. In addition, make sure that no liquids can 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. Use sealing sections, strips, agents, etc.

4.3 Electrical connections (connected loads)

(Connected loads and model designation: see front of the operating instructions) This appliance may only be connected to the electricity supply by an approved electrician who must ensure that the installation complies with the statutory regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV, etc.). The electrician must ensure that these regulations and those laid down by the local electricity supply company are observed. When connecting the electrical appliance, install an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm. Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the voltage on the rating label. To connect the appliance, unscrew the switchbox cover on the underside of the appliance to access the terminal block. After connecting the appliance, replace the cover and secure the connection cable with the strain relief clamp. The connection cable must be at least H05 VVF. If the excess cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger. Make sure that the excess cable length is not laid in the hob’s installation area. See fig. 4 for the position of the cable cut-out. Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when installing the oven.

Electrical connections

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out repairs, this means the cut-out device must be opened. If you have to contact our service department, always quote the type and make numbers. You can find these numbers on the rating label or on page 1 of the Operating Instructions. Each time the glass ceramic hob is removed from the worktop, check the seals and replace if necessary.
