5.2.2 Glass ceramic hotplates with pot detection (optional)
Turn the knob for the corresponding cooking zone to the right. The green indicator light for operational
readiness must always light up. Then place a suitable cooking or frying pot onto the corresponding
cooking zone to activate the pot detection. Heating using pot detection makes it possible to save energy
because the cooking zone is only switched on when a pot is placed onto it. Pot detection only functions if
the size of the pot corresponds approximately to the size of the indicated cooking surface. If using very
small pots, it may be necessary to switch off pot detection at the changeover switch because the pot must
be a minimum size for it to be detected.
Note: Before placing into operation or after a power cut, firstly switch on the cooking zone and then place
the cooking pot onto it to activate pot detection.

5.2.3 Baking oven (optional)
Roasting/baking oven:
If the oven has fan circulation heating as an extra, the changeover switch (Figure 1;13) must be in mode (II)
The temperature is set by turning the knob (temperature controller),
Separately for top heat (12
▲
) and bottom heat (12
▼
)
When the oven is switched on, the green or the yellow light is on
When the preselected temperature is reached, the yellow light goes out
Fan circulation oven:
Set the changeover switch (13) to convection (I)
The temperature is set by turning the knob (12
▼
) for top heat
When the oven is switched on, the green or the yellow light is on
When the preselected temperature is reached, the yellow light goes out
The temperature in the fan circulation mode is limited to a maximum of 250°C.
Always pre-heat to get the best results when roasting and baking.
Attention: In fan circulation mode, heating and fan remain in operation
–
even when the door is
open!
Reduce the heat to the cooking zones to Level I when they are not occupied; this avoids unnecessarily
high temperatures in the appliance and the surrounding air and avoids unnecessarily high energy
consumption. Very high temperatures during idle periods lead to excessive wear and a shortening of the
service life of thermally loaded components.
5.3 Cleaning
Please observe the hygiene regulations in your firm! The instructions in this document are not a substitute
for such regulations (observe the tips for handling stainless steel appliances in commercial kitchens!).
Attention!
Appliances may not be cleaned using water under pressure (spraying with water hose or
steam jet or pressure washer). The appliance is to be shut off if the surroundings are to be cleaned using
such means!
The appliance must be shut off and adequately cooled down before cleaning. Appliance parts or
accessories that come in contact with foodstuffs must be cleaned thoroughly with cleaning agents and
then rinsed off with tap water. Flammable liquids are not be used for cleaning.
To avoid interruptions in operation and for hygiene reasons, the appliance should be cleaned daily after use.
Glass ceramic
The glass ceramic cooking surface is easier to clean than conventional ones but also needs to be
cleaned regularly.
To remove coarse deposits, the glass ceramic cleaning scraper (MCC 560) is an absolute must.
Unsuitable scrapers or spatulas can damage the glass ceramic surface and the surrounding silicone seal!
If anything boils over or is spilled, wipe it off immediately before any incrustation can form.
Keep everything that can melt, e.g. plastics, films, especially sugar and food with a high sugar content,
away from the hot cooking zone. If anything melts onto the surface, remove it immediately (even in the
hot state) using the glass ceramic scraper in order to avoid damage.
