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. Center 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 hotplate5-10 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

Notes

• Depending on the operating condition of the hob, the touch fields that can currently be selected light up brightly or dimmed.
• If you touch one of these fields, the relevant function is activated.
•  Touch fields that cannot currently be selected do not light up.
•  The settings of the hotplates currently selected light up brightly.
•  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
• 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 hotplate and the activated areas may switch on or off at different times

Touch.

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 hotplate to keep another warm. Tip: Suitable cookware is available from customer service or our online-shop
