WARNING: The application must be earthed!
■
The mains connection, maintenance and repair jobs should only be carried

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 surface
■
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.
■
Be careful when working with additional appliances! The connection leads
must not come into contact with the hot cooking zones.
■
The glass ceramic hob 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.
■
Do not place any inflammable or combustible items on the hob since there
is a risk of burns or damage if the hob is switched on unintentionally.
■
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.
■
Please read through the cleaning and care instructions.
Before first use
■
Remove excess materials and packaging.
■
Before preparing food for the first time, clean the glass ceramic cooking
area with a damp cloth and a little detergent.
■
The cooking area is insensitive to temperatures 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.
■
When switching on the cooking zones you might hear a buzzing noise com-
ing from the heating. This is due to technical reasons and does not influence
quality or functioning of your cooking area.
Use of the cooking zones
Read the safety instructions!
Switching the cooking zones on and off
Each cooking zone has its own control. The symbols next to the controls show
to which cooking zone the respective control buttons belong. Always turn the
control buttons anti-clockwise.
Nine cooking settings are marked on the cooking zone controls, but you can
also choose finer intermediate settings. As far as possible, start cooking at the
highest setting and continue at a smaller setting.
Dual circuit cooking zone
As a standard rule, the smaller cooking zone diameter is heated.
Change the control to the outer cooking zone circuit for frying pans or larger
saucepans.
Turn the cooking zone
control to the left as far
as it will go.
Then set it to the re-
quired cooking setting.
Control to "0":
Returns to the smaller di-
ameter.
Heating indicators (1)
The indicators are on for as long as the cooking zones are still very hot –,
even after the cooking zones have been switched off.
Caution!
The indicator can be defect (defect light bulb). You will not not be
warned when the cooking zones are hot. Have the light bulb replaced imme-
diately.
