Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket, or isolator, – or the mains fuse is withdrawn, – or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything else. This could lead to a danger of the article beginning to melt or catching fire, if the hob were to be switched on inadvertently. Take care to keep the touchpads and the area around them clean and do not put things down on them. Hot pans can damage the electronics which are under the sensors. When cleaning the hob surface do not push the dirt across the touchpads.
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions It is essential to ensure that food has been evenly and sufficiently heated, and to check that it is thoroughly cooked, turning or stirring during cooking if necessary. Under no circumstances use a "steam cleaner" to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Use Use Sensor touchpads This hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls. Finger tip pressure on a touchpad will activate its functions. Only press the relevant touchpad. If two or more touchpads are touched at the same time the entries will be ignored. Nothing will happen. Take care to keep the touchpads and the area around them clean and do not put things down on them. Hot pans can damage the electronics under the sensors. When cleaning the hob surface do not push the dirt across the touchpads.
Use Use Suggested hob settings Switching off a cooking zone Setting Melting butter, Chocolate Dissolving gelatine Preparing junket and yoghurt Keeping food warm Warming small quantities of food/liquid Thickening sauces containing egg yolk, butter Omelettes Defrosting Cooking rice, pasta, porridge, Steaming fruit, vegetables, fish, Cooking broths, pulse soups Braising meat, fish, vegetables Cooking dumplings, potatoes, soups Preparing jams, jellies, stewed fruit Frying fish, Frying cutlets Frying pancakes,
Use Use Locking function The hob zones can be locked to prevent inadvertent use when the hob is in operation. Processes currently in operation will continue and the settings displayed will remain active. We recommend locking the touchpads to avoid children, pets etc tampering with the appliance. Press the locking touchpad "a" until the dot above it lights up. Cancelling the lock Press touchpad "a", until the dot above it goes out.
Use Use Auto heat up Each cooking zone is fitted with an auto heat up feature which can be selected when required. When auto heat up is being used the cooking zone operates at a high power level. After the auto heat up period the zone is automatically switched to the continued cooking level selected and the heat setting is reduced accordingly (without needing to be adjusted manually). When auto heat up is switched on a dot is visible behind the setting.
Use Extended cooking zones (not with KM 440) The cooking zones are marked on the hob. Some cooking zones can be enlarged. These are the extended cooking zone rear right (with KM 443) and the vario cooking zone front left. The cooking zone itself must be switched on before the extended option can be selected. 14 Vario-zone n (only with KM 441 and KM 443) Press the vario-zone touchpad "n", if you want to switch on the larger zone. A dot lights up above the touchpad.
Use Use Saucepans Pan size The following notes are designed to enable you to – make the best use of energy when using your ceramic hob. – prevent food boiling over and burning onto the hob. Suitable pans The diameter of the pan should be a little larger than that of the cooking zone. Pan lids So that optimum energy consumption is achieved during cooking, only pans with flat or very slightly concave bases should be used. When the pan is hot, the base should rest evenly on the ceramic surface.
Use Use Please observe the following good practice guide: Always place a pan centrally on the cooking zone before switching on the appliance to save energy. The cooking zone and the pan base should be clean and dry. This saves unnecessary cleaning after cooking. Always check before beginning to cook that there are no sand-like grains on the ceramic surface. If such grains should find their way underneath the saucepan when it is pushed across the hob the grains could cause scratches on the surface.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care In general you can use the same cleaning agents for the ceramic hob surface as you would for ordinary glass surfaces. Never use scouring agents or pads, or strong cleaners such as oven sprays or stain or rust removers, as these could harm the surface. There is a seal between the hob frame and worktop and between the frame and the ceramic plate. Do not use any sharp pointed object, such as a knife, to clean these seals as they could become damaged.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Removal of sugar, syrups, plastic or aluminium foil. Switch the hob off and scrape off all the residues straight away with a shielded razor blade scraper while it is still hot. Protect your hands from the heat. Once the cooking zone has cooled down clean with a suitable cleaner. Cleaning agents for regular cleaning There are several proprietary cleaners suitable for vitreous ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.
