Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids) on the hob.
- WARNING – Risk of electric shock! Improper repairs are dangerous. Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff. Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the appliance. If the power cord or the appliance power connection is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Avoiding Material Damage
To avoid material damage, please follow these guidelines:
- The insulation on cables of electrical appliances may melt if it touches hot parts of the appliance. Never bring electrical appliance cables into contact with hot parts of the appliance.
- If metallic objects come into contact with the fan that is located on the underside of the hob, this may cause an electric shock. Do not store long, pointed metallic objects in the drawers below the hob.
- Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the saucepan base and the hotplate. Always keep hotplates and saucepan bases dry. Never use icy-cold cookware that has been in the freezer.
- When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heat-resistant cookware.
- An appliance with a cracked or broken surface can cause cuts. Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked or broken surface.
- WARNING – Risk of suffocation! Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material. Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.

enAvoiding material damage
The insulation on cables of electrical appliances may melt if it touches hot
parts of the appliance. Never bring electrical appliance cables into
contact with hot parts of the appliance. If metallic objects come into contact
with the fan that is located on the underside of the hob, this may cause an
electric shock. Do not store long, pointed metallic objects
in the drawers below the hob. WARNING Risk of injury!
Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the saucepan base and the
hotplate. Always keep hotplates and saucepan
bases dry. Never use icy-cold cookware that has been
in the freezer.
When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due
to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie
must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heat-
resistant cookware. An appliance with a cracked or broken surface can cause
cuts. Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked or broken surface.
WARNING Risk of suffocation! Children may put packaging material over their
heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away
from chil-
dren. Do not let children play with packaging ma-
terial. Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to
suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with
small parts.

Measure Monitor the cooking process. Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good condition.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass ceramic, and only clean
the hob when it is cold. When cooking, do not hit the glass or let objects
fall onto the hob. Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when moving it. Do
not use the hob as a work surface or storage space. Never use frozen cookware.
Never place or heat empty cookware on a hot cooking zone. Do not place

Environmental protection and saving energyen
ATTENTION! A fan is located on the underside of this hob. If a drawer is
located on the underside of the hob,
do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or tea towels in it. These
objects may be sucked in and damage the fan or impair the cooling. There must
be a clearance of at least 2 cm between the contents of the drawer and the fan
entry point.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy Environmentalprotectionandsavingenergy
3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less 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 diameter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It
is often larger than the base diameter. ¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely
covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy. Cover saucepans with suitable lids. ¡
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
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 lid
without 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. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found
on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your
appliance.
4 Suitable cookware Suitablecookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.
4.1Size and characteristics of the cookware
To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be
perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is
suitable. Refer to “Cookware test”, Page 16 for more details.
Cookware Recommended cookware
Suitable
Materials Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the
heat well.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction
cookware made of stainless steel. The base is not fully ferromagnetic.
Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and
ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware distributes the heat
evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the
area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed
evenly.
5
enSuitable cookware Cookware bases that contain aluminium.
Not suitable
Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Notes ¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware. ¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.
These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.

6.2Cooking with induction
In comparison to conventional hobs, induction technology brings with it a
series of changes and has a number of benefits such as time savings when
cooking and frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of cleaning and
care. It also offers improved heat control as the heat is generated directly
in the cookware.

8.4Cooking tips
¡ When heating up puree, cream soups or thick sauces, stir occasionally.
¡ To preheat, set the power level 8-9. ¡ When cooking with the lid on, reduce
the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not affected by
the steam escaping. ¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you
serve the dish. ¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer’s
instructions. ¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients will be
lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the optimal cooking time. ¡ Ensure
that the oil does not smoke. ¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions,
one after the other. ¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperatures
while the food is cooking. You should therefore use oven gloves. ¡ You can
find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking under “Saving energy”, Page
