1.3Restriction on user group This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by people who have reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate experience and/or knowledge, provided that they are supervised or have

been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting dangers. Do not let children play with the appliance. Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance unless they are at least 15 years old and are being supervised. Keep children under the age of 8 years away from the appliance and power cable. 1.4Safe use
WARNING Risk of suffocation! 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. 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. WARNING Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coaloperated heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as a room-air-dependent heat- producing appliance is being operated.

Safetyen
It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved whenever the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They are able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating-air mode. WARNING Risk of fire!
Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires. Never leave hot oil or fat unattended. Never attempt to extinguish a fire using wa-
ter; instead, switch off the appliance and then cover with a lid or a fire blanket. The cooking surface becomes very hot. Never place flammable objects on the cooking surface or in its immediate vicinity. Never place objects on the cooking surface. The appliance will become hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob. Hob covers can cause accidents, for example due to overheating, catching fire or materials shattering. Do not use hob covers. After every use, switch off the hob using the main switch. Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically as there are no longer any pots and pans on it. Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire. Never operate the appliance without a grease filter. Clean the grease filters regularly. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing).

enAvoiding material damage

Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coalburning) unless the heating appliance has a sealed, non-removable cover. There must be no flying sparks. WARNING Risk of burns!
The appliance and its parts that can be touched become hot during use, particularly the hob surround, if fitted. Caution should be exercised here in order
to avoid touching heating elements. Young children under 8 years of age must
be kept away from the appliance. Hob protective grilles may cause accidents. Never use hob protective grilles. Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids) on the hob. The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning. If hot liquids penetrate the appliance, only
remove the grease filter or the overflow container once the appliance has cooled down.
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 repair-
ing the appliance. If the power cord or the appliance power
cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord or special appliance power cable, which is available from the manufacturer or its Customer Service.

If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous. Never operate a damaged appliance. Never operate an appliance with a cracked
or fractured surface. Never pull on the power cord to unplug the
appliance. Always unplug the appliance at the mains. If the appliance or the power cable is damaged, immediately switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Call customer services. Page 19 An ingress of moisture can cause an electric shock. Do not use steam- or high-pressure cleaners to clean the appliance. 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.
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.

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 greaseproof paper or aluminium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids on the hob. Never place hot cookware on these areas.

Environmental protection and saving energy

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. Use a suitable ongoing power level. ¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy. Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. ¡ The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed. If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time. ¡ The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it. ¡
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cooking. ¡ The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer
operating noises. Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals. ¡ The effectiveness of the filter is retained. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

enSuitable cookware

Suitable cookware

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 correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. You can use Cookware test to check whether your cookware is suitable. You can find more information about this under “Cookware test”, Page 14.

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.
Cookware bases with aluminium content.

Properties This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily. This cookware heats up quickly and ensures that it can be detected easily.
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. These 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.

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.
