Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator h

.

3

Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Tips on cooking and frying

3

Information about acrylamides

According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing stark, may present a health risk due to acrylamide. Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

Cookware made of suitable

Steel, enamelled steel

Cast iron

Stainless steel

Aluminium, copper, brass yes yes if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer

---

Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

3

Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Test of suitability

Cookware is suitable for induction, if …

• ... a little water is heated on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 within a few seconds.

• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

3

Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.

Pan size

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

3

The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.

Tips on energy saving

2

Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

2

If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.

Installation Instructions

Safety instructions

The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)

Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The minimum distances to other appliances are to be observed.

Drawers may only be installed with a protective board directly under the appliance.

The cut surfaces of the work top are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant.

The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap.

When building in, protect the underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven.

Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.

1

WARNING!

Risk of injury from electrical current.

• The electrical mains terminal is live.

• Observe connection schematic.

• Observe electrical safety rules.

• Ensure anti-shock protection through correct installation by a qualified electrician.

• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.

1

IMPORTANT!

Risk of injury from electrical current.

Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.

• Have the clamping joints correctedly installed by a qualified electrician.

• Use strain relief clamp on cable.

• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90° (or higher) must be used.

• If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°; or higher). The latter is available from the Customer Care Department.

A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm

Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and contactors.

Installation proud of the work surface

• Clean the worktop in the area of the cut-out section.

• Stick the one-sided self-adhesive sealing tape supplied all the way round the lower edge of the cooking surface along the outer edge of the glass ceramic panel. Do not stretch it. The cut ends should lie in the middle of one side. When you have cut it to length (add a few mm), press the two ends flush up against one another.
