1.2 General safety precautions
▪Read the operating instruc-
tions before using the appli-
ance for the first time.
▪This appliance can be used
by children aged 8 and above
and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and/or knowledge,
provided they are supervised
or have been instructed on
the safe use of the appliance

ance shall not be undertaken
by children without supervi-
sion.
▪If an appliance is not
equipped with a mains cable
and a plug or other means for
disconnecting from the mains
with a contact opening on
each pole complying with the
conditions of overvoltage cat-
egory III for full isolation, an
isolating device must be in-
corporated into the perman-
ently installed electrical install-
ation in accordance with the

▪WARNING: The appliance
and its accessible parts get
hot during use. Be careful not
to touch the heating ele-
ments.
▪Under no circumstances use
a steam cleaner to clean the
appliance.
▪Do not place metal objects
such as knives, forks,
spoons, lids or aluminium foil
on the hob as they can get
hot.
▪WARNING: It can be danger-
ous to leave the hob unatten-
ded when cooking with fat or
oil, as this can lead to fires.
NEVER attempt to extinguish
a fire with water. Instead,
switch the appliance off and
then carefully smother the
flames with, for example, a lid
or a fire blanket.
▪WARNING: Never store ob-
jects on the hob due to the
risk of fire.
▪WARNING: The cooking pro-
cess should always be super-
vised. Shorter cooking pro-
cesses, in particular, must be
supervised the entire time.
▪Do not operate the appliance
using an external time switch
or a separate remote control
system.
1.4 Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
▪The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installa-
tion instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary
work.
Correct use
▪The appliance is designed for use in
the home for preparing food. No liability
is assumed for any damage caused by
improper use or incorrect handling.
▪Any repairs, modifications or manipula-
tions to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be car-
ried out by the manufacturer, its Cus-
tomer Services or a similarly qualified
person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly
may cause serious injury, damage to
the appliance and fittings, as well as af-
fect the functioning of the appliance. If
the appliance is not working properly or
in case a repair is needed, follow the in-
structions given in the «Service & Sup-
port» section. If required, please contact
our Customer Services.
▪Use original spare parts only.
▪Retain these operating instructions for
future reference. If you sell the appli-
ance or pass it on to a third party,
please ensure these operating instruc-
tions accompany the appliance, to-
gether with the installation instructions.
▪The appliance corresponds to recog-
nized technology standards and the rel-
evant safety regulations. Proper use of
the appliance is essential to avoid dam-
age and accidents. Please therefore fol-
low the precautions given in these oper-
ating instructions.
▪The heated surface will remain hot for
some time after it is switched off and
will cool down only slowly to room tem-
perature. Please allow sufficient time for
the appliance to cool down before, for
instance, cleaning it.

Note on use
▪Tests have shown that under normal cir-
cumstances there is no risk to cardiac
pacemaker users. If, as the user of a
cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing aid or
another type of implant), you would like
to be reassured that using the appli-
ance does not pose a risk, you are ad-
vised to consult a competent medical
authority.
Caution: Burns hazard
▪Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish burn-
ing oil or fat with water. Danger of ex-
plosion! Smother the flames with a fire
blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
Caution: Risk of injury
▪Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life
▪Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and
polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren and animals. Danger of suffoca-
tion! Keep packaging material away
from children and animals.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪In case of overheating, switch the hot-
plate off and allow it to cool down com-
pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Un-
der no circumstances use cold water to
cool it down quickly.
▪Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪Do not put hot cookware on the hob
frame in order not to damage the silic-
one joints.
▪Do not cut or prepare food on the sur-
face and avoid impact with hard ob-
jects. Do not drag cookware across the
surface.
▪Take particular care that sugary foods
or juices do not get onto the hot cook-
ing zones as this can damage the sur-
face. If sugary foods or juices do get on
to the hot cooking zones clean away
immediately (while still hot) with a
scraper.
▪Pots with pure copper or aluminium
bases should not be used for cooking
as they can leave behind traces that
can be difficult to clean. If the traces
are not removed immediately after
cooking with a suitable cleaning agent,
they can be permanently burned on and
therefore permanently ruin the visual
appearance of the appliance.
▪Sliding pans and cookware across the
glass ceramic causes scratches. This
can be largely prevented by lifting pans
and cookware up and then placing
them down in position.
▪The hob is designed to be used – signs
of use, such as scratches or the wear
and tear from pans and cookware, are
normal. The more intensively it is used,
the greater the signs of use; however,
the appliance remains in perfect work-
ing order and therefore does not give a
right of complaint. Safety is guaranteed
at all times.
▪There is no such thing as completely
scratch-proof glass; scratches can even
develop on sapphire glass, which is
used in watches. The glass ceramic
used is of the best quality available on
the market.
2 Using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified fitter/electrician
carry out the necessary work.
During the first few hours of use, a cooking zone can give off an unpleasant smell.
This is normal for brand new appliances. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

3.3 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Cookware should have a stable bottom. When heated, the base of the cookware must lie
flat on the surface of the cooking zone.
Cookware made of metal is more suitable than that made of glass or ceramic as with
metal the heat is distributed evenly quicker.
Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn marks on
the glass ceramic surface that are very difficult to remove.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
▪The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪Use a well-fitting lid.
▪Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
