Stains| Unsuitable cleaning products| Only use cleaning products that are suitable for glass ceramic.
Scratch es| Salt, sugar or sand| Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Damage| Cause| Measure
---|---|---
Scratch es| Rough pot or pan bases| Check your cookware.
Discoloration| Unsuitable cleaning products| Only use cleaning products that are suitable for glass ceramic.

Blisters| Sugar or food with a high sugar content| Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper.

Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging

• The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving 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 cooking 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.

• 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.

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. You can find the hob dimensions in the overview of models. → Page 2

Control panel
You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operating status.

Indicators/symbols
The displays show selected values and functions.

Touch fields
Touch fields are touch-sensitive surfaces. To select a function, touch the relevant field.

Notes

• Always keep the control panel dry. Moisture impairs the function.
• Do not pull pans close to the displays and touch fields. The electronics may overheat.

Hotplates

• You can find an overview of the different activations of the hotplates here.
• If you operate the activations, the relevant displays light up.
• If you switch on a hotplate, it will switch to the setting last selected.

Notes

• Dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are part of the technical design. They do not affect the functionality of the hotplate.
• The hotplate regulates the temperature by switching the heat on and off. The heat may also switch on and off when at the highest setting.
• With multi-circuit hotplates, the heating of the hot- plate and the activated areas may switch on or off at different times.
• Reasons:
  • Easily damaged components are protected against overheating.
  • The appliance is protected against electrical overload.
  • This achieves a better cooking result.

Combi-cooking zone
The combi-cooking zone allows you to combine the single-circuit and the dual- circuit hotplate with the bridge heating element. The two hotplates can also be operated independently of each other.

1. Single-circuit hotplate
2. Dual-circuit hotplate
3. Bridge heating element

• The small extended cooking zone (2 and 3) and the single-circuit hotplate (1) can also be operated independently with different heat settings. This produces different temperature areas, for example for the large roaster, the teppanyaki or the grill plate.
• With the small extended cooking zone you can fry one food while simultaneously using the single-circuit hot-plate to keep another warm.
• Tip: Suitable cookware is available from customer service or our online-shop.

Residual heat indicator
The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each hotplate. Do not touch the hotplate while the residual heat indicator is lit up.

Installation instructions

Observe this information when installing the appliance.
Safe installation
Follow these safety instructions when in-stalling the appliance.

• Electrical connection must only be carried out by licensed specialist staff. Incorrect connection will invalidate the warranty.
• The safe operation of this appliance can only be guaranteed if it has been installed to a professional standard in accordance with these installation instructions. The in-staller shall be liable for any damage resulting from incorrect installation.

Built-under
Do not install refrigerators, dishwashers, non-ventilated ovens or washing machines underneath the appliance.

• If you fit an oven below the appliance, the worktop must be at least 20 mm thick, in certain cases even thicker. Observe the information in the oven installation instructions.
• Make sure that projecting parts such as the mains housing or the mains cable do not collide, e.g. with a drawer.

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.

• 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).
• Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant. This prevents the worktop from swelling as a result of moisture.

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

• Check the household wiring before connecting the appliance.
• The appliance fulfils the requirements of protection class I and must only be operated in conjunction with an earth conductor.
• In the permanent electrical installation, a partition must be provided in the phases in accordance with the installation regulations.
• If appears on the appliance’s display, it has not been connected correctly. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and check the connection.

Connecting with a 3-wire cable
Ensure that there is sufficient fuse protection for the household wiring.
Observe the colour coding of the power cable.

• The protective conductor is green/yellow  ⁠.
• The neutral conductor is blue.
• The phase (external conductor) is brown.
• If required, the cable must be replaced with a multi-phase power cable. When replacing the cable, observe the following paragraph.

Connecting without a pre-installed cable
Only connect the hob in accordance with the connec-tion diagram.

• If required, install the enclosed copper bridges.
• The power cable must correspond to type H05 VV-F or a higher rating.
• Use the current load to determine which wire cross-section you require. A cross-section of < 1.5 mm² is not permitted.

Connecting with a pre-installed 5-wire power cable
The power cable must only be replaced by trained cus-tomer service personnel.

Installing the hob

• Do not trap the power cable and do not route it 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.
• The hob can also be installed in an existing cut-out that has a depth of 500 mm.
• It must protrude by the same distance at the front and the rear.

Removing the hob
