Selecting cookware Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop. The cooking surface The ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface. Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms are clean before cooking.
Selecting cookware Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. This is normal. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade. Be sure to clean the cooktop after each use. Each time this residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
Timer The cooktop has a timer which can be used to time activities in the kitchen and/or automatically turn off the burners. Both functions can be used simultaneously. A time between 1 and 99 minutes can be set. The time can be decreased or increased with the - or + touch control. To set the display back to 00 press and + at the same time. If multiple times are programmed, the time which elapses first is displayed. If this time is allocated to a burner, the respective indicator will flash.
Timer Setting the timer to turn off a burner automatically To use this feature, a power setting must be selected for the desired burner. All burners can be programmed at the same time. ^ Turn the desired burner on, e.g. rear right, and select a power level. ^ Touch the m sensor until the indicator of the desired burner lights, e.g. rear right. If multiple burners are turned on, the indicators for the activated burners light clockwise from front left to front right.
Safety features Child Safety Lock Keep children away from the cooktop for their own safety. The cooktop has a Child Safety Lock to prevent children from turning on the burners or changing the settings. The Child Safety Lock can be activated while the cooktop is on or off. Activating the Child Safety Lock during cooktop use – The settings for the burners and for the timer cannot be altered. – The burners and cooktop can still be turned off but once turned off cannot be turned on again.
Safety features Stop and Go To activate Stop and Go Stop and Go is a feature which reduces the power of all turned on burners. The cooktop can be left for a short time without supervision and the danger of boilovers. ^ Press and hold the $ Lock control until you hear two audible signals in quick succession. Do not touch the $ Lock control too long or the Safety Lock will be activated. The safety lock indicator will flash. The power for the activated burners is now reduced to power level 1.
Safety features Safety cut-out feature Covered touch controls The cooktop is on too long The cooktop has a safety cut-out feature in case it is not turned off after use. If one of the burners is heated for an unusually long period of time (see table), and the power level settings are not adjusted, the cooktop will turn itself off automatically and the residual heat indicator will light.

Safety features Overheating protection Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature the heating elements will automatically turn back on. The overheating protection may be activated by: – turning on a burner without putting a pan on it. – heating an empty pan. – an uneven pan not sitting evenly on the burner.

Installation Instructions To prevent accidents and machine damage read these instructions before installation or use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Note to the installer: Please leave this instruction book with the consumer for the local electrical inspector’s use. The minimum distances given in these Installation Instructions must be observed in order to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire. The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the cooktop above a drawer. It should be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front.

Installation Cut out ^ Make the countertop cut-out following the dimensions given in the illustration. Remember to maintain a minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) between the rear wall and the right or left side. See also "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS". ^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. The materials used must be heat resistant.
Installation Installing the spring clips Wood or corian countertops Granite countertops ^ Fix the supplied spring clips at the marked positions as shown above, by laying them on the upper edge of the cut-out and then securing them with the 1/8" x 1" (3.5 x 25 mm) screws supplied. ^ For granite countertops, the spring clips must be placed in position and secured with strong, double-sided adhesive tape. ^ In addition, coat the edges of the spring clips with silicone sealant.
Installation Installing the cooktop Wooden countertop ^ Feed the power cord down through the cut-out and connect the appliance to the power supply. ^ Position the cooktop on the spring clips, a. ^ Then with a hand on each side of the cooktop press down evenly on the edges until it clicks into position. When doing so make sure that the cooktop seal sits tightly on the countertop to ensure it is sealed correctly. The cooktop can now only be removed with a special tool.
Installation Protective bottom plate The cooktop bottom must be installed in such a way that the bottom is shielded and cannot be touched.
