9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Injury and damage to the appliance may
occur if control elements are not used
properly.
If the cooktop turns off automatically and
can no longer be operated, it may turn
itself on unintentionally at a later point.
Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse
box. Contact Customer Support for
service.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may
be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.
Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop
only when necessary. To avoid bubbling
and splattering, heat oil slowly on no
more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and
injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before
beginning. Tie long hair so that it does
not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.
9 WARNING
Risk of burns!
Metallic objects become hot very
quickly on the cooktop. Never set
down metallic objects, such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
cooktop.
9 WARNING
Risk of burns!
The pan detection shut off feature
may not turn off the cooking zone
due to spilled food or objects placed
on the cooktop.
If the display does not work when a
cooking area is heating up, disconnect
the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical
panel. Contact an authorized servicer.

Child Safety
When children become old enough to use
the appliance, it is the responsibility of
the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices
by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean,
sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,
especially a door, warming drawer, or
storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this
appliance unless closely supervised by
an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether
or not the appliance is in use.
9 CAUTION
Items of interest to children should
not be stored in an appliance, in
cabinets above an appliance or on
the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could
be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet
clothes and sponges can cause burns
from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the
appliance.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating element
or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with
ceramic cooktops may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only pans that
are appropriate for ceramic induction
cooktops.
Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
9 WARNING
RISK of injury!
When cooking with a double-boiler
the cooktop and cooking vessel may
crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the double-boiler
must not come in direct contact with
the bottom of the pot filled with
water. Use only heat-resistant
cookware.

electromagnetic field. It has been
tested and complies with Part 18 of
the FCC Rules for ISM equipment.
This induction cooktop meets the
FCC requirements to minimize
interference with other devices in
residential installation. Induction
cooktops may cause interference
with television or radio reception. If
interference occurs, the user should
try to correct the interference by:
Relocating the receiving antenna
of the radio or television.
Increasing the distance between
the cooktop and the receiver.
Connecting the receiver into an

Causes of damage
NOTICE
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the cooktop.
Never leave cookware cooking empty. This can cause
damage.
Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel,
the displays or the cooktop surround. This can cause
damage.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the cooktop.
Aluminum foil and plastic containers can melt and
stick on hot burners. The use of oven protective foil on
the cooktop is not recommended.
Overview
You will find the most frequently caused damage in the
following table.
Damage Cause Remedy
Stains Boiled over food. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of
cooktop.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand. Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage
space.
Cookware with rough bases scratch the
cooktop.
Check the cookware.
Discoloration Unsuitable cleaning agent. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for this type of
cooktop.
Pan abrasion. Lift pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content. Remove boiled over food immediately with a glass scraper.

Protecting the environment
Energy-saving advice
Place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an
uncovered pan will result in a considerable increase in
energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and
avoid having to lift the lid.
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the element. Note: The manufacturer normally
indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally
greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use a lot of energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of
their vitamins and minerals.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Cooking with Induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of
cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
Saves time when boiling and frying.
Saves energy.
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction element stops the
heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from
the element, without having to switch it off first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
Cookware made from enameled steel
Cookware made from cast iron
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction
cooking, refer to the section on ~ "Suitability test of
cookware".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area
on the base of the pan should match the size of the
element. If a element does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another element with a smaller
diameter.
If the only element being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here

en-us
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will
heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material of which the base of the cookware is made
contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that
the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even
that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware
made of:
Traditional stainless steel
Glass
Clay
Copper
Aluminum
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
No pan or improper size
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the
power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.
If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable
pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please
contact Customer Support.
Pan detection
Each element has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the
cookware and the material of which its base is made. For
this reason, you should always use the element that best
matches the diameter of the base of the pan.

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
When heating up puree, cream soups, and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
Set heat setting 10 to 12 for preheating.
When cooking with the lid on, reduce the heat as soon
as you see steam escaping. The cooking result is not
affected by the steam escaping.
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
serve the food.
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients
will be lost. The short-term timer can be used to set
the optimum cooking time.
For a healthier result, ensure that the oil does not
smoke.
To brown food, fry it in small batches.

PowerBoost Feature
The PowerBoost function enables you to heat up large
volumes of water faster than when using heat setting ‚ƒ.
This feature is available for any of the burners, provided
the other burner is not in use. Otherwise, ˜ and ‚ƒ will
flash on the display for the selected burner; the ‚ƒ heat
setting will then be set automatically without activating
this function. Turn the control knob to the 0 position.
Note: The power boost function can also be activated in
the flexible cooking zone if the cooking zone is being
used as a single burner.
Activate
Push in the control knob and turn it to the Ž position.
The ˜ and Ž displays will light up.
The function has now been activated.
Deactivate
Turn the control knob to the heat setting you require. The
˜ and Ž display will go out and the heat setting you have
selected will be lit.
This function has now been deactivated.
Note: In certain circumstances, the PowerBoost function
may switch itself off automatically in order to protect the
electronic elements inside the cooktop.
In this case, the heat setting ‚ƒ will automatically be set.
Turn the control knob to the 0 position or whichever heat
setting you require.
Frying Sensor
This function can be used to fry food while maintaining
the suitable frying pan temperature.
Advantages when frying
The element only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
The AutoChef
®
function reports when the empty frying
pan has reached the optimum temperature for adding
oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the function
does not activate correctly. You can use a splash
guard to prevent splashes of grease.
Use oil or grease that is suitable for deep-frying. If
butter, margarine, extra virgin olive oil, or lard is used,
use heat setting 1 or 2.
Never leave a frying pan, with or without food,
unattended when it is being heated.
If the temperature of the burner is higher than that of
the cookware or vice-versa, the frying sensor is not
activated correctly.
