Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing Disposal of your old appliance material Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if The transport and protective packing handled or disposed of incorrectly has been selected from materials which could be potentially hazardous to are environmentally friendly for human health and to the environment.
Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate" section of this booklet. Cleaning for the first time ^ Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels. ^ Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
How the cooking zones work Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on model, the heating elements may be separated by an isolating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").
Operation Operating principals The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. When the hob is switched off only the symbols for the sensors for switching the hob on and off and the safety lock are visible.
Operation Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. To switch the hob on ^ Touch the s sensor. All the sensors will light up. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.
Operation Settings The appliance is delivered with 9 power levels programmed as standard. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range (see "Programming"). Cooking process Settings* Standard Extended factory settings settings (9 power levels) (17 power levels) Melting butter, chocolate etc.
Operation Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest power setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart). As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially.
Operation Outer ring of a vario/extended zone When switching on a two ring, three ring and ExtraSpeed cooking zone the second heating ring is automatically switched on. The second heating ring of an extended cooking zone and the ExtendedPlus zone and the outer ring of a three ring zone must be manually switched on.
Operation Switching off and residual heat indicators Switching off a cooking zone ^ Touch the "0" on the numerical keypad of the cooking zone you wish to use. The numbers 1 to 9 will go out after a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, residual heat will then be indicated in the display.
Suitable pans – Most suitable The best pans for use on a ceramic hob are those with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat. cold –...
Tips on saving energy – Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily. too small suitable – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. uncovered covered –...
Timer The hob must be switched on to use the timer. The timer can be used for two different functions: – to set the minute minder – to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically. You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9^). A time of up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes.
Timer Minute minder To set the minute minder time Minutes Example: You want to set 15 minutes. ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Touch the m sensor. The m indicator lamp will flash. 00 will appear in the timer display. The 0 on the right will flash. Enter the tens first and then the units.
Page 40
Timer Hours Whole hours are set by touching the relevant number on the numerical keypad. Half hours are set by touching the area between the relevant two numbers. Example: You want to set 2 hours 30 minutes. ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Touch the m sensor.
Page 41
Timer To change the minute minder time ^ Touch the m sensor. ^ Set the time you want, as described above. To delete the minute minder time ^ Touch the m sensor. ^ Touch 0 on the numerical keypad.
Timer To switch a cooking zone off automatically You can set a time at the end of which a cooking zone will switch off automatically. All the cooking zones can be programmed at the same time. If the time programmed is longer than the maximum operational time allowed, the cooking zone will switch off after the maximum time allowed (see "Safety switch-off").
Timer To use both timer functions at the same time The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be used at the same time. If you have programmed in one or more switch-off times, and would like to use the minute minder as well: Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamps for the cooking zones you have programmed light up constantly and 00 appears in the timer display.
Safety features Safety lock / System lock Keep children away from the hob for their own safety. Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered. The safety lock is set with the hob switched on.
Page 45
Safety features To activate the system lock ^ Touch the $ sensor until the relevant indicator lamp comes The indicator lamp will go out after a short while. You can alter the setting from one-finger to three-finger operation (see "Programming") to make it harder for children to operate the appliance.
Safety features Stop and Go Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all cooking zones in use to power level 1. When Stop and Go activated, the cooking zone power levels and the setting of the timer cannot be altered and the hob can only be switched off.
Safety features Safety switch-off Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for more than about 10 seconds, for example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by an object such as an oven glove or a tea towel.

Safety features Overheating/pan protection Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). The ExtraSpeed cooking zone is also equipped with pan protection. If you wish to use it you will need to alter the setting (see "Programming / Pre-heat"). If the heating element switches on and off even when the highest power level is selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has triggered.
