Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnected from the electrical supply during installation and maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out. Risk of electric shock! If the ceramic surface of the cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked or broken in any way, immediately turn the cooktop off and do not continue to use it.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Proper use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out. When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat, which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire. Never use the cooktop to heat the room. Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is still hot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the burners off after use! You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can scratch the ceramic burner. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches. Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not use two pans on a cooking zone at the same time. If the cookware only partially covers the cooking or roasting zone, the handle could become very hot. Make sure to place the cookware in the middle of the cooking or roasting zone. Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Initial commissioning Please adhere the extra appliance data plate (supplied) in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this manual. Remove any protective foil and stickers. Cleaning the cooktop for the first time Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Turning on the cooktop for the first time Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time.
Induction How it works When the appliance is turned on An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a zone is turned on, this coil creates a magnetic field that impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan. either inadvertently or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up. Danger of burns! Do not use the cooktop as a storage space.
Induction Noises When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the type and shape of the cookware bottom: On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced. Cookware with bottoms made of different materials (e.g. sandwich bottoms) may produce a crackling noise.
Induction Cookware Suitable cookware is made of: – stainless steel with a magnetizable bottom – enamel-coated steel – cast iron – Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches. – Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
Energy saving tips – Use a lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss. – For small quantities, select a small pan. A small pan on a small burner uses less energy than a large, only partially filled pan on a large burner. – Cook with as little water as possible. – Once food has come to the boil or the pan is hot for frying, reduce the heat to a lower power setting.
Power setting ranges The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to finetune a setting, you can extend the power setting range to 17 power levels (see "Programming").
Operation Basic operation The ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor buttons that react to finger contact. During activation, the On/Off sensor button muss be pressed somewhat longer than the other buttons for safety reasons. Each reaction of the buttons is acknowledged with an acoustic signal. The cooking zones and the timer have to be "active" when you want to set or adjust a power level or the duration.
Operation Fire hazard! Residual heat indicator Do not leave the cooktop unattended during operation! Please note that the heat-up time for induction cooktops is shorter than for conventional cooktops. When a cooking zone is hot, the residual heat indicator will light up after deactivation. Turning the cooktop On Tap the sensor button. appears in each of the cooking zone indicators. If no further entry is made, the cooktop will turn itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.
Operation Setting the power level - expanded setting range Tap the control scale between the sensor buttons. The set power level flashes in the indicator for a few seconds and then lights up constantly. The intermediate levels are shown with an illuminated point next to the number. PowerFlex cooking zone You can combine the PowerFlex cooking zones into one large cooking area (see the "Overview – Cooking zone" chapter).
Operation Auto Heat-up When Auto Heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone turns on automatically at the highest level and then switches to the previously selected continued cooking level. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking level has been chosen (see chart). Turning on Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone.
Operation TwinBooster / Booster The cooking zones are equipped with a booster or TwinBooster (see "Overview – Cooking zone"). You can use the booster for a maximum of two cooking zones at the same time. When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of 15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g., pasta water. If the booster function is turned on when Two cooking zones are connected so the power for the booster can be achieved.
Operation Activating the booster Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone. Select a power level if required. Tap the B I/II sensor button. The indicator light for the booster lights up and the cooking zone indicator starts to flash. After a few seconds, lights up constantly and the indicator light goes out. Turning the Booster/TwinBooster On/ Off Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone.
Operation Keep warm function The keep warm function is for keeping food warm that has just been cooked, i.e., food that is still hot. It is not for reheating cold food. If the keep warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will turn off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours. – Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid. Setting the keep warm function Briefly tap the selection button for the desired cooking zone. Tap the control scale between the 0 and 1 sensor buttons.
Timer The cooktop has to be turned on if you wish to use the timer. You can set a time up to 99 minutes. Changing the timer Tap the sensor button. Set a new time, as described above. The timer can be used for two different functions: Deleting the timer – For setting the timer Touch the sensor button until appears in the timer display. – For turning off a cooking zone automatically Timer Setting Example: You want to set a time of 15 minutes. Turn the cooktop on.
Timer Turning a cooking zone off automatically You can set a time after which the cooking zone will turn off automatically. This function can be used on all zones at the same time. If the programmed time is longer than the maximum time allowed, the safety shut-off function will turn off the cooking zone automatically when the maximum time has elapsed (see "safety shut-off"). If you want to set another cooking zone to turn off automatically, follow the same steps as described above.
Timer Using both timer functions at the same time The timer and automatic turn-off functions can be used at the same time. If you would like to call the other remaining times so that they appear in the display: Tap the sensor button until: If you have programmed in one or more turn-off times, and would like to use the timer as well: – The indicator light for the desired cooking zone starts flashing (automatic turn-off).
Additional functions Stop & Go function When activated, the Stop & Go reduces the power of all cooking zones in use to power level 1. The power levels of the zones and setting of the timer cannot be changed and the cooktop can only be turned off. A set timer and booster time continue to run. The Auto Heat-up time and set times for automatic turn-off are stopped.
Safety features System lock / Safety lock The system lock and safety lock are deactivated if there is a power outage. Three-finger control is the default setting. You can change the default to one-finger control (see "Programming"). Your cooktop is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the cooking zones being turned on or any settings being altered. The system lock is activated when the cooktop is turned off.
Safety features Safety shut-off Safety shut-off with an overlong cooking time The safety shut-off is triggered automatically if a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long period of time. This time depends on the power level selected. If it has been exceeded, the cooking zone turns off and the residual heat indicator appears. If you turn the cooking zone on and off again, it is ready for operation again.
Safety features Overheat protection Overheating can be caused by: All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire cooktop in the following ways: – Heating empty cookware Inductive coils – Any booster function in operation will be turned off.
Cleaning and care Burn hazard! The burners must be turned off and allowed to cool completely. Risk of injury! The steam from a steam cleaner could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. All cooktop surfaces can become discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The outer surfaces of the cooktop are susceptible to scratching. Immediately remove any residues left by cleaning agents.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the glass ceramic surface Risk of damage from sharp and pointed objects! Do not clean the area between the glass-ceramic surface and the frame or the frame and the counter with sharp objects. When cleaning with liquid dish soap, not all contaminants and residues are removed. An invisible film forms, which causes discoloration of the ceramic. This discoloration cannot be removed. Clean the glass ceramic surface regularly with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION Installation and connection of the After the installation of the cooktop to the electrical power supply may only be performed by a qualified electrician. cooktop, the electrical cord may not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical stress. Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop to avoid damaging it.
Safety clearances Safety clearance above the cooktop For a ventilation hood above the cooktop, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If there are no specifications from the hood manufacturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 30" (760 mm). If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clearance, the largest clearance must be used.
Safety clearances Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop In installing a cooktop there may be an optionally high cabinet or room wall against the rear side and one of the sides (right or left) (see illustrations).
Safety clearances Minimum clearance underneath the cooktop To ensure proper ventilation of the cooktop, a minimum clearance is required between the appliance and an oven, protective base, or drawer. The minimum clearance from the bottom of the cooktop to Protective base Installation of a protective base under the cooktop is allowed but not required. A gap of 3" (75 mm) at the back is required for the power supply cord. For better cooling of the cooktop, we recommend a gap of 2" (50 mm) at the front.
Safety clearances Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials. If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50 mm).
