different available power limits will
be shown while you turn the knob
(2) leftwards or rightwards.
3 Once the value has been selected,
once again press the locking touch
key (6). The hob will be limited to
the chosen power value.
If you want to change the value again,
you must unplug the hob and plug it in
again after a few seconds. Thus you
will again be able to enter the power
limiting menu.
Every time the power level of a
hotplate is changed, the power limiter
will calculate the total power the hob
is generating. If you have reached the
total power limit, the touch control will
not allow you to increase the power
level of that hotplate. The hob will beep
and the power indicator (3) will blink
at the level that cannot be exceeded.
If you wish to exceed that value, you
must lower the power of the other
hotplates. Sometimes it will not be
enough to lower another by a single
level as this depends on the power of
each hotplate and the level it is set at.
It is possible that to raise the level of
a large hotplate that of several smaller
ones must be turned down.
If you use the quick switch-on at
maximum power function and the
said value is above the value set by
the limit, the hotplate will be set to the
maximum possible level. The hob will
beep and the said power value will
blink twice on the indicator (4).
Safety switch off function
If due to an error one or several
heating zones do not switch off, the
appliance will be automatically discon-
nected after a set amount of time (see
table 1).

* Depends on model
When the “safety switch off” function
has been triggered, a 0is displayed if
the glass surface temperature is not
dangerous for the user or an H if there
is a burn risk.
Keep the control panel of the
heating areas clean and dry at all
times.
In the event of operating pro-
blems or incidents not mentioned
in this manual, disconnect the
appliance and contact the
Küppersbusch technical service.
Suggestions and
recommendations
* Use pots or pans with thick, comple-
tely flat bottoms.
* Pots/pans with a smaller diameter
than the shown heating area are
not recommended.
* Do not slide pots and pans over the
glass because they could scratch it.
* Although the glass can take knocks
from large pots and pans without
sharp edges, try not to knock it.
* To avoid damaging the ceramic
glass surface, do not drag pots
and pans over the glass and keep
the undersides of them clean and
in good condition.
Try not to spill sugar or pro-
ducts containing sugar on the glass
as while the surface is hot these
could damage it.
Cleaning and maintenance
To keep the appliance in good
condition, clean it using suitable
products and implements once it has
cooled down. This will make the job
easier and avoid the build-up of dirt.
Never use harsh cleaning products or
tools that could scratch the surface, or
steam-operated equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can
be cleaned using a damp cloth and a
gentle detergent or warm soapy water.
However, for deeper stains or grease
use a special cleaner for ceramic hot
plates and follow the instructions on
the bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due
to being burned repeatedly can be
removed using a scraper with a blade.
Slight tinges of colour are caused by
pots and pans with dry grease residue
underneath or due to grease between
the glass and the pot during cooking.
These can be removed using a nickel
scourer with water or a special cleaner
for ceramic hot plates. Plastic objects,
sugar or food containing a lot of sugar
that have melted onto the surface
must be removed immediately using
a scraper.
Metallic sheens are caused by
dragging metal pots and pans over
the glass. These can be removed by
cleaning thoroughly using a special
cleaner for ceramic glass hot plates,
although you may need to repeat the
cleaning process several times.
Warning:
A pot or pan may become
stuck to the glass due to a product
having melted between them. Do
not try to lift the pot while the
heating zone is cold! This could
break the glass.
Do not step on the glass or
lean on it as it could break and cau-
se injury. Do not use the glass as a
surface for placing objects.
