Operating principles
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact. For safety reasons,
when switching the appliance on, the
On/Off

sensor needs to be touched
for a little longer than the other sensors.
Each time you touch a sensor, an
acoustic signal sounds.
When the cooktop is switched off, only
the printed sensor control symbols and
numbers on the keybank for setting the
power levels are visible. More sensor
controls light up when the cooktop is
switched on.
In order to set or alter a power level, the
cooking zones must be “active”. To
activate a cooking zone, touch the
indicator of the relevant cooking zone.
The relevant cooking zone indicator will
begin to flash when touched. While the
indicator is flashing, you can set or
adjust the power level or the duration.
Exception : If only one of the cooking
zones is in operation, you can alter the
power level without activating the
cooking zone.

Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensor controls.
If the sensor controls are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail
to react, to activate a function
inadvertently or even to switch the
appliance off automatically (see
“Safety features – Safety switch-
off”). Placing hot pans on the sensor
controls/indicators can damage the
electronic unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and
indicators clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensor control or indicators.
Do not place hot pans over the
sensor controls or indicators.
