Operation

Using the appliance
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor buttons which react to
finger contact. For safety reasons, in or-
der to switch the appliance on, the On/
Off

sensor button needs to be
touched for a little longer than the other
sensors.
Each time a sensor is activated, an au-
dible signal sounds.
When the cooktop is turned off, only the
printed symbols for the On/Off

and
system lock/safety lock  sensor but-
tons are visible. When the cooktop is
turned on, all other sensor buttons light
up. On the numerical displays, the

sensor button lights up in brightness
level 2, and the

through

sensor but-
tons light up in brightness level 1.
When you set a power level, the sensor
buttons
 up to the set power level light
up in brightness level 2.
If the booster or Keep Warm function is
set, the corresponding sensor button
lights up in brightness level 2.

Malfunction can occur 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, or
even to switch the cooktop off auto-
matically (see “Safety features –
Safety shut-off”). Placing hot cook-
ware on the sensor controls/indica-
tors can damage the electronic un-
derneath.
Keep the sensor controls and indica-
tors clean.
Do not place anything over the sen-
sor controls or indicators.
Do not place hot cookware over the
sensor controls or indicators.
