1.4 Disclaimer
Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any live parts, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer
Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly
may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as
affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not working
properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given in the
REPAIR SERVICE section. If necessary, please contact Customer Services.
Make sure no water gets inside the appliance: Do not spray the appliance
with water. If water gets inside it can damage the appliance.
Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc-
tions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on
installation.
The appliance is designed for use in the home for preparing food. No
liability is assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
1.5 Instructions for use
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards and the
relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is however
essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore follow the
precautions given in these operating instructions.
The heated surface remains hot for some time after it is switched off and
cools down only slowly to room temperature. Please allow sufficient time
for the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
In case of overheating, switch the appliance off and allow it to cool down
completely. Under no circumstances use cold water to cool it down quickly!
If the appliance can no longer be operated, remove the fuse or switch the
circuit breaker off.
1 Safety precautions
10
Do not climb onto the appliance.
Do not put hot cookware on the hob frame in order not to damage the
silicon joints.
Always ensure that the base of the cookware and the surface of the hob
are clean and dry before use.
Do not cut or prepare food on the surface. Avoid impact with hard objects.
Do not drag cookware across the surface.
Take particular care that sugary foods or juices do not get onto the hot
cooking zones as they can damage the surface. If sugary foods or juices
do get onto hot cooking zones, clean away immediately (while still hot) with
a scraper for glass ceramic hobs.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
Keep animals away from the appliance.
Induction hobs produce a high frequency magnetic field around the
cooking zones. Standing near the cooking zones can under unfavourable
circumstances have an adverse effect on or affect the working of
pacemakers, hearing aids or metallic implants.
Tests have shown that under normal circumstances 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 appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a
competent medical authority.

recycling and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
12
2 Using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and connected to the mains supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified
fitter/electrician carry out the necessary work.

of use. This is normal for brand new appliances. Ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
2.1 Where is the identification plate?
The identification plate and the connection plate are located on the underside
of the hob element.
A second identification plate is supplied and should be affixed in the fitted unit
underneath the hob.

3.3 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The
induction coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing
magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware.
Removing the cookware from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the
supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
quick reacting
finely adjustable
–powerful
energy-efficient
safe.
Induction hobs can only be used with cookware with a magnetic base.
3 Your appliance
16
3.4 Pan detection
Each cooking zone is equipped with pan detection. This detects suitable
induction compatible cookware with a magnetic base.
If the cookware is removed during operation or if unsuitable cookware is
used,
the power level selected flashes alternately with .
If no suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone before the pan
detection time (10 minutes) elapses,
the cooking zone switches off
the display changes from to
the appliance switches off after 10 seconds if no other cooking zone is
in use.

17
3.5 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Only cookware with a magnetic base is suitable for use with the induction
hob.
This can be tested in the following ways:
A magnet sticks anywhere on the base of the cookware.
On the hob, the power level set illuminates and does not alternate with
the power level.
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.
Do not heat any unsuitable cookware using aids such as metal rings
and the like. This can damage the hob.
3 Your appliance
18
Coated cookware
Coated cookware when empty may never be heated at a higher power
level than .
The coating may otherwise become overheated and damaged.
For frying, do not use a higher power level than 9.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during cooking. This does not indicate any
malfunction, nor does it affect the functioning of the appliance in any way.
Never use PowerPlus with coated frying pans.
Noise depends on the cookware used. If the noise causes consid-
erable disturbance, it can help to change the cookware.

5 Care and maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Always clean the hob after use. This prevents food residues from burning on.
Dried-on or burned-on food residue is harder to clean off.
Use of improper cleaning techniques can result in damage to the markings
or surface.
Use only a soft cloth or sponge with water and a suitable detergent for
cleaning everyday soiling. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions for use. Using a detergent with a protective additive is
recommended.
Remove stubborn soiling, e.g. boiled-over milk, while still warm using a
glass ceramic hob scraper.
Always follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions for use.
Foods with a high sugar content, e.g. marmalade, that boil over should be
removed while still hot using a glass ceramic hob scraper. The surface of
the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
Remove melted plastic while still warm using a glass ceramic hob scraper.
The surface of the glass ceramic hob could otherwise become damaged.
Remove limescale stains when cool with a small amount of limescale
remover (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, descaler). Then wipe clean with a damp
cloth.
To avoid risk of burns, allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
Avoid cleaning the surface of the glass ceramic hob with abrasive
cleaning agents, scouring pads, wire wool, etc. which can damage the
surface.
