for connection and function

■The mains connection, maintenance and repair jobs should only be carried out by an authorised technician in accordance with the applicable safety standards. Work which has been improperly carried out can endanger your safety.

■The surfaces of heating- and cooking zones become hot during operation. The cooking area is moved by a motor. Therefore: Always keep children away.

for the cooking zones and the grill area

■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 coo- king area, do not use your appliance. Unplug or otherwise disconnect your appliance from the mains supply and call our service centre.

■If the cooking area cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control immediately disconnect your appliance and call the 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 cooking area 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.

■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.

■The appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out facility. It ensures that the cooking area cannot be retracted if an obstacle hits against the safety strip and presses it in.

■If you have pets in your flat, who might reach the cooking top, activate the child-proof unit.

Before first use

Remove packaging and moving parts. Before first use the cooking area should be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.

The cooking area is insensitive to temperature 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.

■Please read through the cleaning and care instructions. Be especially careful to keep the sensor keys clean since soiling could be mistaken for finger contact by the appliance. Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys! If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advice you to activate the emergency switch.

■You might hear a humming sound from the heating when switching on the appliance. This is due to technical reasons and has no influence on quality and functioning of your appliance.

■Hot pans should not cover the the sensor keys, otherwise the appliance switches itself off automatically.

Use of the

cooking zones and the grill area

Read the safety instructions!

After initial connection and after a power failure the abbreviations “'%0” ap- pears briefly in the LED displays. Then rotating circles are displayed. This me- ans that the sensors are being checked in a self-test and at the same time the button sensitivity reset.

Acknowledge this display by touching the Off-sensor. Provided that no objects are lying on he sensors, these symbols are switched off immediately. Other- wise remove objects, switch off lighting (if on) and disconnect the cooking zone again briefly from the mains (fuse).

Important:

There must be no objects on the sensors while the sensor sensitivity is being set. Extreme lighting shining on the buttons, such as direct sunlight or bright halogen lights, is to be avoided.

Switch on the cooking area and the grill area

Press the sensor-button for ap- prox. 2 seconds. The LED-display above the sensor lights up and the appliance is in operation (stand-by mode).

The stand-by mode automatically switches itself off,

–if no cooking zone is activated within 20 minutes (after 10 seconds an acustic signal indicates that the appliance switches itself off after another 10 seconds)

or

– if the appliance is not used 1 minute after starting operation.
