Notes on use
If the hob is used at full power for a lengthy period, the power electronics may
no longer be cooled to the necessary extent at room temperature.
To ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the electronics, the power
of the cooking zones may be reduced automatically.
This is indicated by two numbers flashing alternately in the cooking setting
display, e.g. 9 and 8. These are the numbers of the selected setting and the
setting currently in use.
If, during normal use of the hob and at normal room temperature, two
numbers frequently flash alternately in the cooking setting display, the cooling
is probably not sufficient. A lack of cooling openings in the furniture or leaks
in the air channel may be the cause.
The installation may have to be checked.
Cleaning and Care
■
Never use sharp or abrasive agents!
Usually it is sufficient to clean the
appliance with a damp cloth and a
little washing-up liquid each time you
use it. Wipe dry afterwards.
■
Incrustation due to boiled over foods
should first be soaked – best with a
wet cloth. Then remove them with a
glass scraper. Remove sugar and
melted plastic immediately while the
cooking surface is still hot.
■
Clean the glass ceramic cooking
surface after every use. Be especially careful to keep the sensor keys clean
since soiling could be mistaken for finger contact by the appliance.
Immediately remove soiling. If food boils over onto the sensor buttons, we
advise you to switch off the appliance.
■
Care for your glass ceramic hob once a week. Regular care builds up a
protective layer and also eases day to day cleaning. Please observe the
cleaning and servicing instructions. Even heavy soiling can be cleaned with
a cleanser and enough water. Afterward always wipe dry with a cloth.
What to do if trouble occurs
Unplug the appliance before repair!
First check whether there has been any operating error. You can deal with
some problems that occur yourself.
Important note:
Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified gas fitter!
Even during the guarantee period repairs will not be free of charge if due to
incorrect operation or to non-adherence to our instructions given under “What
to do if there is a fault”.
Always indicate the data provided on the rating label when calling in Customer

of the hob.
