OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical

standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manu-

facturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with

the following safety instructions.

Electrical safety

•The new appliance must only be installed and connected by a regis-

tered specialist.

•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved ser-

vice engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may

cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs re-

pairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

3 Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the

event of damages.

•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated after being in-

stalled in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which con-

form to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection

against contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Associa-

tion of German Electrical Engineers].

•If a fault occurs in the appliance:

–switch off all the hotplates,

–switch off or remove the fuse for the hob.

Child safety

The hotplates become hot as you are cooking and frying. Therefore,

always keep small children away from the appliance.

Safety whilst using

•This appliance may only be used for cooking and frying food in the

home.

•Do not use the hob for heating the room.

•Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby.

Do not allow connecting leads to come into contact with hotplates

when they are hot.

•Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise

cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).

•Switch the hotplates off after each use.

Safety When Cleaning

Switch the appliance off before cleaning. For safety reasons cleaning

the appliance with a steam jet cleaner or high-pressure water cleaner

is not permissible.

To avoid damaging your appliance

•Do not store items on the hob or use the hob as a work surface.

•Do not operate the hotplates if there is no pan positioned on them or

if the pan is empty.

•Take care that no liquids containing acids, such as vinegar, lemon or

scale remover, come into contact with the hob as this can produce

dull spots.

•Do not allow items and materials that can melt onto the surface to

come into contact with the hob, e.g., plastics, aluminium foil or

cooking foil.

2 Disposal

Disposing of the packaging material

•All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded

polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of

packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.

•Please follow the national and regional regulations and material

identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal

sites).

Information on disposal

•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse

disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.

•Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.

Remove the mains lead.

Discription of the hob

Hob Features

Before Using for the First Time

Initial Cleaning

Wipe the hob with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.

1 Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface

could be damaged.

Using the Rings

3 Please note the information for switching the rings on and off and for

regulating the heat setting that is provided in the operating instruc-

tions for your built-in oven or switch box.

General notes:

•High-speed hotplates heat more rapidly than normal hotplates. They

are identified by a red spot, which will, however, disappear after a

short while as a result of heating and cleaning.

•To prevent condensation and rust formation please do not allow hot

pans to cool on the hotplate or put wet pan lids on it.

1 Do not allow items and materials that can melt onto the surface to

come into contact with the hotplates, e.g., plastics, aluminium foil or

cooking foil.

Uses, Tables and Tips

Pans

•The better the pan, the better the results.

•You can recognise good pans by their bases.

The base should be as thick and flat as pos-

sible.

•When buying new pans pay particular atten-

tion to the diameter of the base. Manufactur-

ers often give only the diameter of the upper

rim.

•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed

slightly inwards (concave). They should never

be bowed outwards (convex).

2 Energy saving tips

You will save valuable energy if you observe

the following tips:

•Always place pots and pans on the hot-

plate before switching it on.

•Soiled hotplates and pan bases cause in-

creased power consumption.

•If possible, always fit pans with a lid.

•Switch off the hotplates before the end of

cooking to make use of the residual heat,

e.g., to keep food warm or for melting.

•The pan base should be the same size as

the hotplate.

•By using a pressure cooker cooking times

can be reduced by up to 50%.

Charts

Note:

The figures given in the following table are for guidance. The switch

setting required for cooking depends on the quality of the pots and

pans and on the type and quantity of the foodstuffs.

Reference values for setting the hotplates

3 When heating up or browning we recommend starting with the highest

heat setting and then allowing foods that require longer cooking to

continue cooking on an appropriate lower setting.

Cleaning and Care

3 Clean the hob after each use when it is warm to the touch or cold us-

ing hot water and washing up liquid. This will avoid spillages becom-

ing burnt on.

1. Remove heavy soiling with fine scouring sand or a scouring pad.

2. Wipe away residues with a damp cloth.

3. Then warm the hotplate a little and leave to dry.

4. To keep the hotplates in good condition occasionally rub in a little

sewing machine oil and then polish with absorbent paper.

1 Important: Do not clean the stainless steel hob surround with scour-

ing sand or a scouring pad as this causes scratching!

Use only suitable stainless steel cleaners and –polishes for cleaning

stainless steel hobs. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

General information

•Heat the hotplates briefly after cleaning to dry them.

•Do not put any damp or wet items on the hotplates.

•Dry pots and pans with a cloth before placing them on the hotplates.

3 The stainless steel hob surround may discolour slightly during cooking

due to thermal loading. This is a physical response.
