^ Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Only for facet cooktops:
A small gap between the cooktop
and the work surface may be visible
in the first days of operation. It will
become smaller during use. Despite
this small gap, the electrical safety of
your appliance is always ensured.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the cooktop, this may cause
permanent blue discolorations.
Metal components of the appliance
have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time the
appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
12
How the burners operate
One-zone burners use one heating
strip; two-zone burners and grill zones
have two heating strips. Depending on
the model, the heating strips may be
separated by a ring.
One-zone burner
Each burner has overheating protection
(internal temperature limiter) feature to
prevent the ceramic glass from
overheating (see "Overheat protection").
aOverheat protection
When a power level is set, the heat
element turns on and the heating strip
is visible through the ceramic glass.
bHeating strip
The power setting determines how hot
the burner will get, and is electronically
regulated. This means that the burner
will switch on and off as needed to
maintain the selected power level.

Selecting cookware
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth Energy saving tips
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
– For the most even and energy
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.

– Cast iron, glass or stoneware should
not be used because they have poor
heat transfer and may scratch the
cooktop surface.
too small
fits
– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans closed while cooking. This
helps keep in the most possible heat.
– Also unsuitable is plastic or
aluminum foil cookware. These melt
at high temperatures.
– 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.

closed
– Use a small pot for small amounts. A
small pot on a small burner needs
less energy then a larger partly filled
pot on a large burner.
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.
– For longer cooking periods, you can
switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10
minutes before the total cooking time
is completed. The residual heat will
continue to cook the food.
– Use only pots and pans with flat
bases. Sharp pot and pan bases
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
– Lift the cookware when moving it. In
this way you will avoid streaking from
friction and scratching.
19
Timer
The cooktop must be turned on to use
the timer.
The timer can be used for two different
functions:
– To time kitchen activities.
– To set a burner to turn off
automatically.
You can select a time from 1 minute
(01) to 9 hours (9^).
A time up to 99 minutes is set and
displayed in minutes.
Example:
With a time of more than 99 minutes,
the timer must be turned to hours. The
time is set in half-hour increments. The
half hour is indicated by a dot after the
number.
Example (2 hours 30 minutes):
