Preventing material damage
Pre-vent-ingma-ter-ialdam-age

ATTENTION!
Rough pot and pan bases will scratch the ceramic.

• Check your cookware. Boiling pans dry may damage cookware or the appliance.

• Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob. Non heat-resistant materials will melt on heated hot-plates.
• Do not use oven protective foil.
• Do not use aluminium foil or plastic containers.

Overview of the most common damage
Here you can find the most common types of damage and tips on how to avoid them.

that are suitable for glass ceramic.
Discol- ouration| Pan abrasion,

e.g. aluminium

| Lift pots and pans to move on the hob.
Blisters| Sugar or food with a high sugar content| Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper.

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-ible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and disposeof them separately.

Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will useless energy. Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-meter as the hotplate.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upperdiameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
• Cooking without a lid consumes considerably moreenergy. Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
• When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes. Use a glass lid.
• You can see into the pan through a glass lidwithout having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases.
• Uneven bases increase energy consumption. Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
• Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water.
• The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level early on.
• If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,you will waste energy.Take advantage of the hob’s residual heat. With longer cooking times switch off the hotplate 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking.
• Unused residual heat increases energy consumption. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

Intermediate floor

If the underside of the hob can be touched, an intermediate floor must be fitted.

• Ask your specialist retailer for an intermediate floor as an accessory.
• If you use your own intermediate floor, the minimum distance to the mains connection of the appliance must be 10 mm.

Preparing the units
The worktop must be level, horizontal and stable.

• Have the worktop cut-out made in a specialist workshop only.
• Use only water-resistant work surfaces (e.g. natural stone).
• The fitted units, including wall finishing strips, must be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C.
• Niche cladding within 50 mm of the back wall must not be combustible (e.g. tiles, stone).

Electrical connection
To protect the appliance, do not remove it from the polystyrene trays until you press the appliance into the cut-out. Never lay the appliance down flat on its side.

• For a single-phase connection (1 N~), the power cable H05RR-F3G4 (length 1 m) is available from customer service.

Installing the hob
Ensure that the cables are not trapped or pinched, and do not route them over sharp edges. If the oven is a built-under type, route the cable along the rear corners of the oven to the mains socket.

1. Bond the supplied seal in place.
2. Install and align the hob so that it is horizontal.
3. Check that the appliance works correctly.
