If the appliance is passed to another per son, please enclose the instructions. Before switching on your appliance Transport damage Check your appliance after removing the packaging. If it has suffered any damage during transport, do not connect the appliance but contact the Technical Ser vices department. Before using the appliance for the first time, you must ensure that the domestic electrical system is earthed and meets all the current safety regulations. An autho rized electrician should install and connect your ap pliance. Use of this appliance without an earth connection or incorrectly installed can cause serious injuries (injuries or electrocution), although this is very rare The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for any inappropriate use or for any injury caused by incorrect electrical installation. Electrical connection or installation Safety precautions This appliance is intended only for domestic use. Only use the hob for food preparation. This produkt is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. 41 Cooking and heating food During their cooking, food such as stews, soups, sauces or drinks may heat up too quickly without any indication, spilling out of the cookware. It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently, selecting a suitable power level and stirring the contents before and during cooking. Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Risk of fire! Never leave heating oil or fat unsupervised. Should the oil ignite, do not try to put it out by pouring water on it. Cover the pan with a lid or plate immediately. Switch off the hotplate. Leave the ovenware on the hotplate to cool down. Do not touch hot hotplates. There is a risk of burning. Children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. The residual heat indicator warns you that the hotplates are hot. Never place combustible items on the hob. Risk of fire! You must not keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the hob. Risk of fire! The service cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot hotplates. This could cause damage to the hob and the cable insulation. Overheated oil and fat Hot hotplates Wet saucepan bases and hotplates Steam pressure can be generated from the liquid between the base of the saucepan and the hotplate. The steam pressure could cause the pan to jump suddenly. There is a risk of injury. Always keep the hotplate and the bases of saucepans dry. If there are fractures, flaws or cracks in the glass ceramic, there is a risk of electric shock. Switch off the appliance immediately. Isolate the appliance from the power supply at the fuse box. Call after sales service. Switch off the hotplate if the hotplate heats up but the indicator is not working. There is a risk of burning. Call after sales service. Cracks in the glass ceramic The hotplate heats up, the indicator does not work 42 Do not place metal objects on the induction hob Do not leave lids or other large metal objects on the hotplate. If the appliance is switched on by mistake, these objects will heat up very quickly and could cause burns. This hob comes with a cooling fan mounted underneath. Be careful! If a drawer is fitted beneath the hob you must not keep small objects or paper in it as, if they are picked up, they could damage the cooling fan or affect the cooling system. Silver foil and flammable materials or liquids (for example sprays) must not be kept in the drawer or near the hob. There is a risk of explosion! There should be a minimum distance of 2 cm between the drawer contents and the cooling fan. Incorrect repairs are dangerous. There is a risk of electrocution. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our experienced after sales engineers. Any adjustment to the appliance, including changing or installing the supply cable, should be carried out by the After Sales Service. Taking care of the cooling fan Incorrect repairs Power cable d This appliance complies with current safety regula tions and electromagnetic compatibility regulations. Nevertheless, people with a pacemaker should not use this appliance. It is impossible to guarantee that all such devices found on the market comply with cur rent safety regulations and electromagnetic compati bility regulations, and that dangerous interference will not occur. It is also possible that people with other types of device, such as a hearing aid, could experi ence some discomfort. 43 Reasons for damage Saucepan and pan bases Never use the hob instead of the kitchen unit worktop as a support or work surface. Rough pan bases scratch the glass ceramic. Check your ovenware. It is very important that cookware placed on an acti vated hob has liquid or food inside of it. Although your hob is equipped with an internal safety system, empty cookware can heat up so quickly that the "automatic OFF" function does not have time to react and may reach a very high temperature. The cookware base could also melt and damage the hob's glass surface. If this happens, do not touch the cookware and turn off the hob. If, after cooling, it does not work, please contact customer service". Hot pans and saucepans Never place hot pans or saucepans on the control panel, display area or the frame. This could cause damage. Salt, sugar and sand cause scratches on the glass ceramic. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob. Do not store such objects above the hob. Sugar and food with a high sugar content damage the hob. Remove food spills immediately with a glass scraper. Caution The glass scraper has a sharp blade. Aluminium foil or plastic containers melt on hot hobs. Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob. Salt, sugar and sand Hard and pointed objects Food spills Foil and plastic 44 Examples of possible damage The following damage does not affect the performance or strength of your hob. Presence of stains Formed by spilled or melted sugar or food with a high sugar content. Scratches Due to salt, sugar, grains of sand or irregularities in the base of the saucepans. Colour loss A colour change to a metallic shade due to wear by hobs or from the use of inappropriate cleaning prod ucts. Decorative colour loss Grinding decoration due to the use of inappropriate cleaning products. The various types of damage mentioned above are caused by the incorrect use of the appliance, and therefore they are not covered by the warranty, as they are not technical problems relating to the appliance. 45 Familiarising yourself with the appliance This section describes the control panels, hotplates and displays. They are shown by appliance model. The instruction manual applies to various hobs. On page 2 you will find an overview of models with dimensions. The control panel Indication for :extended cooking zone Indicators for heat setting 1 9 operational readiness 0 residual heat H/h Twist pad with twist Control panel for knob @ main switch For selecting the hotplate A memory function For setting the heat V keep warm function setting P powerboost function Control panels Control panel for Ò timer function When you touch a symbol, the respective function is activated. Example: Touch the @ symbol. The hob is switched on. Note The settings remain unchanged if several symbols are touched briefly. You can therefore easily mop up spills on the control panel. Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Moisture and dirt may impair function. 46 The Hotplates Induction Hotplate Select the appropriate hotplate. The size of the pan should be the same as that of the hotplate. In the Suitable pans" section we recommend two types of pans for induction cooking. The plate-warming zone The plate-warming zone is used for melting chocolate or butter, and for keeping plates and receptacles hot. Do not use aluminium foil or plastic, as it will melt. Switching on the plate-warming zone: Select the plate-warming zone using the control. To do so, turn the control knob to the symbol . The indi cator light over the symbol will light up. Switching off: Select the hotplate again. The indicator light will go out, and the plate-warming zone is now switched off. Residual heat indicator The plate-warming zone is fitted with a residual heat indicator t. This indicator warns the user that this zone has been used, and so it is still hot. Therefore, never touch the plate-warming zone when this indi cator is visible. Even if the hotplate is switched off, the indicator light will stay on t until the hotplate has cooled down. The indicator light will go off when the plate-warming zone has cooled to a safe temperature. Extended cooking zone The size of these hotplates may be altered. The hotplate must be connected. How the exterior zone operates: Place a pan which has the same size base than the exterior zone. The exterior zone starts working automatically and the indicator light comes on :. 47 Safety instructions. Residual heat The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. It shows which hotplates are still hot. You should, therefore, avoid touching the hotplate when this indicator is shown. Although the hob is switched off, the indicator s/t will stay lit while the hotplate is hot. If the pan has been removed but the hotplate has not been switched off, the indicator s/t will flash, showing the power level selected Twist pad with removable twist knob Twist pad The twist pad is the area in which you select the hotplates with the twist knob and can set heat settings.The twist knob automatically centres itself in the twist pad. Twist knob The twist knob is magnetic and is placed on the twist pad. The corresponding hotplate is activated by sliding the twist knob in the direction of the arrow. You can set the heat setting by turning the twist knob. 48 Removing the twist knob You can remove the twist knob. This makes cleaning easier. The twist knob can also be removed when the hotplate is in operation. All the hotplates switch off after 3 seconds. d Storing the twist knob If you place a metal object on the twist pad within 3 seconds, the hob may continue to heat up. For this reason, always switch off the hob using the main switch. There is a strong magnet in the twist knob. Do not, therefore, place it near magnetic data carriers, e.g. video cassettes, disks, credit cards and cards with magnetic strips. These could be destroyed . Malfunctions to televisions and monitors may occur. For people who wear electronic implants such as a pacemaker or insulin pump. Implants could be affected by magnetic fields. Do not, therefore, carry the twist knob in the pockets of your clothing. It should be kept at least 10 cm away from a pacemaker. d The cooking with Induction What is induction cooking? Induction cooking constitutes a radical change in the traditional form of heating, given that the heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cold. Therefore, it has a number of advantages over other cooking methods: As the pan is heated directly and not the glass, the efficiency is greater than in other systems because no heat is lost. It has been proven that cooking with an induction is more economical than the other cooking methods. Greater speed in cooking and frying Economical 49 Cooking control and safety The hob supplies or cuts off the heat immediately the controls are operated. It stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without first switching off the power. If a cloth or other flammable object is left on the hob by mistake this will not catch fire, even with the hotplate switched on, because after the hob has been used, only the residual heat produced by the pan remains in the glass. The glass is not heated, so food spilt on the hob surface will not burn. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the hob to cool down to allow cleaning. This provides maximum convenience and cleanliness. Cleaning Suitable pans Always choose adequate sized pressure cookers and pans for the quantities of food that you are going to prepare. A large sized pressure cooker or pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy. Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking. These can be of enamelled steel, cast iron or special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking. You must never use normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic, copper or aluminium pans. Check that your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable. No pan. If no pan is placed on the hotplate, or the pan is not made of a suitable material or it is not a suitable size, the number on the hotplate indicator, showing the power level, will flash. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the hotplate. If you take longer than ninety seconds to place a suitable pan on the hotplate, it will automatically turn itself off. 50 Main switch with child proof lock Main switch Switch on the electronics in the control panel using the main switch. Now the hob is ready for use. Switching on Switching off Touch the @ symbol until the 0 hotplate indicators light up. Touch the @ symbol until the 0 hotplate indicators go out. All the hotplates are switched off. The residual heat indicator remains lit until the hotplates have cooled sufficiently. The hob switches off automatically if all the hotplates have been switched off for more than 10 seconds. The settings remain stored for 5 seconds after the hob has been switched off. If you switch the hob on again during this time, the hob will operate using the previously stored settings. Notes Childproof lock You can prevent the hob from being switched on unintentionally so that children cannot switch on the hotplates. The childproof lock remains activated permanently. Activating the child proof lock Switch on the hob using the main switch. 1. Set all hotplates to heat setting 2. 2. Switch off the hotplates, one after the other, starting with the front right hotplate. See illustration. 3. Touch the main switch for at least 5 seconds, after which a signal sounds. The child proof lock is activated. 51 Operating the hob To switch on, touch the @ main switch for more than 4 seconds. During this time, G lights up in the display. As soon as the display goes out, the hob is switched on. You can deactivate the childproof lock again. Proceed in the same manner as for activating the child proof lock. You can lock the hob on a single occasion, if for example, small children are visiting: The hob must be switched off. Touch the @ main switch for more than 4 seconds. The hotplate indicators go out. The G indicator lights up for 10 seconds and goes out. The hob is locked. Touch the @ main switch for more than 4 seconds. The hob is switched on. The hob is unlocked.

Deactivating the childproof lock Locking the hob once off Unlocking the once off locking Important Cooking This section describes how to adjust the hotplates. The table shows the heat settings and cooking times for various food dishes. The following tips help to save energy. Setting procedure The hob must be switched on. 1. Select the hotplate. To do this, slide the twist knob in the direction of the corresponding heat setting indicator. The indicator light comes on and 0 flashes in the heat setting indicator. 52 2. Move the twist knob back to the centre. 3. Within the next 5 seconds, turn the twist knob until the desired heat setting appears in the hotplate indicator. Heat setting 1 = lowest power Heat setting 9 = highest power The heat setting indicator lights up permanently after 5 seconds and the indicator lamp goes out. Changing the heat setting Switching off the hotplate Select the hotplate and set a new heat setting. Select the hotplate and set it to 0. The hotplate is switched off, and the residual heat indicator appears after approximately 5 seconds. Table The following table provides a few examples. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of food, its weight, and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

Uneven bases increase the cooking time. Select the correct saucepan size for each hotplate. The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and pots should match the size of the hotplate. Note: Ovenware manufacturers often give the diameter of the top of the saucepan. It is usually larger than the diameter of the base of the saucepan. Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires more energy. Using a lid Saucepans and pots should always be covered with a suitable lid. Cooking without a lid requires much more energy. Cook with small quantities of water This saves energy and helps vegetables to retain vitamins and minerals. Switch down to a lower heat setting in good time. Cooking with small quantities of water Lowering the heat setting Keep warm function All induction hotplates have the keep warm function. Method of operation The keep warm function is suitable for melting chocolate or butter or keeping food warm. This only works with pots and pans suitable for use with induction hobs. If the "keep warm" function is activated, the hotplate automatically changes to its minimum power setting to keep cookware warm. Follow these steps: The function is activated as follows 1. Select the hotplate with the knob. 0 flickers in the visual display. Select the power level required. 2. Touch symbol V. The letter C appears in the visual display. 55 How to deactivate it Follow these steps: 1. Select hotplate with knob. 2. Touch symbol V. The C disappears in the visual display and the function will have been deactivated. Powerboost function Use this function to heat up the contents of the pan faster than if you use the maximum power level (j). This function allows you to increase the maximum power level of the hotplate in use. Powerboost function limitations Group 2 All the cooking zones have this function, except the roasting zone when its expandable part is activated. (See figure, zone 5) Group 1 Group 2 The Powerboost function will always be available whenthe other hotplate of the same group is not switched on. (See illustration) For example, if you want to activate this function in hotplate 1, number 2 (situated behind it) should be switched off, and vice versa. If the zone referred to is not switched off, the letter x and the power level j in the hotplate indicator will flash; it will return to the maximum power level setting (j). The same applies to hotplates 3 and 4. Group 1 56 How to activate it The hotplate must be connected. 1. Select the hotplate desired using the control knob. k will flash on the indicator.

Cleaning glass ceramic Cleaning agents Clean the hob after each use. This prevents food from being burnt into the hob surface. Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for glass ceramic, e.g. CERA CLEAN, cera fix, Sidol for ceran + steel. Water marks can also be removed using lemon juice or vinegar. 63 Unsuitable cleaning agents Do not use: Abrasive sponges, scouring pads or aggressive cleaning agents, such as oven spray or stain remover. It is preferable to wipe the twist knob using luke warm soapy water only. Never use strong or abrasive products. The twist knob could be damaged if cleaned in a dishwasher or immersed in soapy water. You can remove thick dirt best with a glass scraper. Remove the protective cover from the glass scraper. Only use the blade to clean the glass ceramic surface. The casing may scratch the ceramic surface. Twist knob Glass scraper d How to clean the glass ceramic cooking surface The blade is very sharp. There is a risk of injury. Cover the blade after cleaning. Replace damaged blades immediately. Use the glass scraper to remove food residues and grease splashes. Use a cleaning product and kitchen towel to clean the surface when it is luke warm. If the surface is still too hot it can become stained. Wipe the surface and rub dry with a soft cloth. Discoloration is caused by pan abrasion or the use of unsuitable cleaning agents. This is very difficult to remove. Use Hob Clean or Sidol for ceran + steel. Our after sales service can remove discoloration, but will charge for this service. Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Food residues and spills can impair the function of the control panels. Shimmering metallic discoloration Control panels Cleaning the hob surround Only use warm soapy water. Do not use anything which is sharp or abrasive. The glass scraper is unsuitable. The hob surround could be damaged. Neither lemon juice nor vinegar should be used for cleaning the hob surround. This could result in matt patches. 64 Procedure in the event of a malfunction Malfunctions often have simple explanations and may be easily rectified. Please read the following instructions before calling the after sales service. The circuit breaker in your household electrical circuit trips when you switch on the hob Make sure that the power draw of all the appliances switched on does not exceed your maximum household electricity supply. Check whether the circuit breaker triggers when you switch on another hotplate. The control panel is very dirty, food has been spilt or an object has been placed on the work surface. Clean the control panel thoroughly or remove the object from the work surface. Press the control panel concerned. The flashing stops. The main switch was touched inadvertently. Switch the hob back on. Adjust the settings again. Check whether the saucepan is electromagnetic (attracts a magnet). Check whether the diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the event that it has become too hot when used. If the display still does not light up when you switch the hotplate off and on again, disconnect the appliance from the mains. Wait 20 seconds and then reconnect it. The powerboost function display flashes and then switches off The powerboost function operates the hotplate with the most possible power. During long cooking times, it is possible that the function will switch the hotplate off to protect the hob from overheating. You can continue to use the hob if the display is not flashing. Repairs may only be carried out by trained customer service personnel. E is flashing in all the hotplate displays and a signal is sounding The hob has switched itself off The display flashes (there is no power) when you place a saucepan on an induction hotplate Repairs d Incorrect repairs to the appliance may expose the user to increased risks. 65 E Ö display and numbers If E Ö and numbers appear in the display panels, there is a fault in the electronics.

U400 66 Normal operating noises for the appliance I nduction heating technology is based on the vibration resistance of certain metals when subjected to high frequency waves. In some circumstances, these vibrations can cause a certain degree of noise, such as the following: This occurs when cooking at a high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy which is transmitted from the hob to the cookware. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when the power is turned down. This occurs when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware. This noise occurs when cookware is used which consists of layers of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. This noise is made by the cookware. It may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked. This noise occurs principally in cookware which consists of layers of different materials when it is used at the highest heat setting and on two hotplates next to each other. This whistling disappears or becomes quieter when the power is turned down. The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The hob is therefore fitted with a fan which runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also run on once the hob has been switched off if the temperature it detects is still too high. The noises described are normal and part of the induction technology and do not indicate a fault. Low humming like a transformer Quiet whistling Crackling High pitched whistle Fan noise 67 Packaging and old appliances Disposing in an environmentally responsible manner Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally responsible manner.
