Page 10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af- ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high power.
Page 11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro- tective sheet.
Page 12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alu- minum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Page 13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the cook- top in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop.

Induction No cookware/unsuitable cookware Tips display - To make optimum use of the cooking In the cooking zone indicator indicator, zones, choose cookware with a suit- the symbol will flash alternately with able base diameter (see “Overview“, the selected power level if: “Cooking zone data”).
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 levels, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease alto- gether when the power level is reduced. Cookware with bottoms made of differ- ent materials (e.g., sandwich bottoms) may produce a crackling noise.
Energy saving tips - Use a lid whenever possible to mini- mize heat loss. - For small quantities, select a small pan. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, only partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
Power setting ranges The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine- tune a setting, you can extend the power setting range to 17 power levels (see “Programming”). Setting ranges Default Extended (9 power (17 power lev- levels) els)
