Safety instructions
for connection and function
■
The mains connection, maintenance and repair jobs should only be carried
out by an authorised technician in accordance with the applicable safety
standards. Work which has been improperly carried out can endanger your
safety.
■
The surfaces of heating- and cooking zones become hot during operation.
Therefore: Always keep children away.
for the cooking area
■
Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. You should therefore
cook food involving the use of fats and oils, e.g. chipped potatoes, only un-
der supervision. Never extinguish fats or oils with water! Place a lid on the
pan, switch off the cooking zone and take the pan off the hot cooking zone.
■
If cracks, fractures, or any other defects appear in your glass-ceramic cook-
ing area, do not use your appliance. Unplug or otherwise disconnect your
appliance from the mains supply and call our service centre.
■
If the cooking area cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor
control immediately disconnect your appliance and call the service centre.
■
Be careful when working with additional appliances! The connection leads
must not come into contact with the hot cooking zones.
■
The glass ceramic cooking area should not be used as a storage area.
■
Do not place combustible or inflammable objects upon the cooking top
which might be dangerous in case of unintentional switching on.
■
Never use the cooking zones without cookware. Never use the appliance to
heat rooms!
■
Never put aluminium foil or plastic on top of the cooking zones. Substances
that melt, for example plastic, foils and especially sugar and food with a
high sugar content are to be kept away from the hot cooking zone. In order
to avoid damaging, sugar, while still hot, should immediately be scraped off
the cooking area with a scraper.
■
Avoid repeated burning of stains and boiling over.
■
Chalk deposits may damage the cooking area.
■
If there are any pets in the apartment which could come near the hob, ac-
tivate the lock.
Before first use
Remove packaging and moving parts. Before first use the cooking area should
be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
The cooking area is insensitive to temperature shocks (cold and hot) and also
extremely robust.
■
Avoid dropping sharp objects onto the cooking area. Pointed objects falling
onto your cooking area might break it.
■
Please read through the cleaning and care instructions. Be especially careful
to keep the sensor keys clean since soiling could be mistaken for finger
contact by the appliance. Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.) onto
the sensor keys! If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to
activate the emergency switch.
■
You might hear a humming sound from the heating when switching on the
appliance. This is due to technical reasons and has no influence on quality
and functioning of your appliance.
■
Hot pans should not be put down near the sensor keys. In this case the
appliance may automatically shut off.
■
Clean the hob before using it for the first time. Then switch the cooking
zones onto the highest setting, one after the other, for three minutes. This
will remove any “new” smell and cause any humidity in the heating units to
evaporate. This is necessary so that the electronic circuits function properly.
Use of the cooking zones
Read the safety instructions!
Subsequent to initial connection and in the event of a power failure, the con-
trols will be tested automatically. On completion of the test a short buzz will
sound.
Important:
There must be no objects on the sensors while the sensor sensitivity is being
set. Extreme lighting shining on the buttons, such as direct sunlight or bright
halogen lights, is to be avoided.
Switch on the hob
Touch sensor key ON/OFF
The cooking zone setting displays will indicate a “0” and the ready-for-
operation indications on the cooking setting displays will blink.
The appliance is in operation (stand-by mode).
The stand-by mode switches off automatically if no cooking zone is activated
within a period of 10 seconds.
