resting place for anything else.  
Never heat an empty pan unless the  
~
manufacturer of the pan expressly  
states that you can do so. Because  
induction heating works extremely  
quickly the base of the pan could heat  
up to the temperature at which oil or fat  
self-ignites within a very short time.  
Take particular care never to place  
cutlery or other metal objects on the  
appliance. When the appliance is  
switched on either deliberately or by  
mistake, or when there is residual heat  
present, there is the risk of metal  
objects heating up, with a danger of  
burning.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection/recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person.

appliance.  
Before using for the first time, clean the  
appliance with a damp cloth only and  
then wipe dry.  
When the appliance is used for the first  
time, it may give off a slight smell. The  
smell and any vapours will dissipate  
after a short time. They are not harmful  
and do not indicate a faulty connection  
or appliance.  
Do not use washing-up liquid to  
clean the ceramic surface as it can  
leave a blue sheen which may be  
difficult to remove.  
15  
 
Induction  
The induction principle  
If a suitable pan is placed on the  
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß  
will go out and you can continue as  
normal.  
An induction coil is located under each  
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is  
switched on, this coil creates a  
magnetic field which impacts directly  
on the base of the pan and heats it up.  
The cooking zone itself is heated up  
indirectly by the heat given off by the  
pan.  
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed  
on the cooking zone, the cooking zone  
and the hob will switch off automatically  
after 3 minutes.  
Take particular care never to place  
cutlery or other metal objects on the  
hob. When the appliance is  
switched on either deliberately or by  
mistake, or when there is residual  
heat present, there is the risk of  
metal items heating up with the  
danger of burning.  
An induction cooking zone only works  
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on  
it (see "Pans").  
Induction automatically recognises the  
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only  
generated in the area covered by the  
base of the pan.  
Switch the cooking zones off after  
use.  
The cooking zone will not work:  
– if it is switched on without a pan in  
place, or if the pan is unsuitable  
(non-magnetic base).  
– if the diameter of the base of the pan  
is too small.  
– if the pan is taken off the cooking  
zone when it is switched on.  
If this happens, ß will flash in the  
relevant cooking zone display  
alternating with 0 or the power setting  
selected .  
16  
 
Induction  
Noises  
The appliance has a cooling fan to help  
extend the life of the electronics. When  
the hob is being used intensively, this  
will come on and you will hear a  
whirring sound. The fan may continue  
to run after the appliance has been  
switched off.  
When using an induction cooking zone,  
the following noises can occur in the  
pan, depending on what it is made of  
and how it has been constructed.  
– On the higher power settings, it  
might buzz. This will decrease or  
cease altogether when the power  
setting is reduced.  
– If the pan base is made of layers of  
different materials (e.g. in a  
sandwiched base), it might emit a  
cracking sound.  
– Whistling might occur if linked zones  
(see "Booster function") are being  
used at the same time, and the pans  
also have bases made of layers of  
different materials.  
– You might hear a clicking sound from  
the electronic switches, especially on  
lower settings.  
17  
 
Induction  
Pans  
Make sure that you always place the  
pan in the middle of the cooking  
zone. If the pan only partially covers  
the zone, the handle could become  
very hot.  
Suitable pans include:  
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic  
base  
– enamelled steel pans  
– cast iron pans  
Unsuitable pans:  
Tips on saving energy  
– stainless steel pans without a  
magnetic base  
Use a lid whenever possible to  
minimise heat loss.  
– aluminium and copper pans  
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots  
and pans  
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable  
for use on an induction hob, hold a  
magnet to the base of the pan. If the  
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.  
Uncovered  
Covered  
Please be aware that the properties of  
the pan base can affect the eveness  
with which food heats up in the pan.  
To make optimum use of the cooking  
zones, choose pans with base  
diameters larger than the innermost  
markings but smaller than the  
outermost markings. If the base  
diameter of the pan is smaller than the  
innermost marking, the induction  
heating will not work. The zone will  
behave as if it had no pan on it.  
Please note that the maximum diameter  
quoted by manufacturers often refers to  
the diameter of the top rim of the pot or  
pan. The diameter of the base  
(generally smaller) is more important.

back of the hob  
Ideally the hob should be installed with  
plenty of space on either side. There  
may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit  
or wall at one side. On the other side,  
however, no unit or divider should  
stand higher than the hob (see  
illustrations).  
Not allowed  
The following minimum distances  
should be adhered to for safety  
reasons:  
– 50 mm to the right or left of the  
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece  
of furniture (e.g. tall unit).  
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to  
the rear wall.  
Recommended  
Not recommended  
36  
 
Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distances underneath the hob  
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the  
hob, a certain gap must be left between  
the underside of the hob and any oven,  
interim shelf or drawer.  
The minimum gap between the  
underside of the hob and  
– the top of an oven is 15 mm.  
– the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.  
A space of at least 10 mm must also

Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional  
niche cladding  
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and  
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.  
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e. g. wood) a  
minimum safety distance e of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out  
and the cladding.  
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e. g. metal,  
natural stone, ceramic tiles) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm less the  
thickness of the cladding must be maintained between the cut-out and the  
cladding.  
Example: 15 mm niche cladding

Installation  
Preparing the worktop  
Installing the hob  
^ Make the worktop cut-out according  
to the dimensions given in the  
building-in diagram. Remember to  
maintain the minimum safety  
distances (see "Safety instructions  
for installation").  
^ Feed the hob connection cable down  
through the cut-out.  
^ Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.  
When doing this make sure that the  
seal under the hob sits flush with the  
worktop on all sides. This is important  
to ensure an effective seal all round.  
Do not use sealant (e.g. silicone).  
^ Seal the cut surfaces on  
wood/laminated worktops with a  
suitable heat-resistant sealant to  
avoid swelling caused by moisture.  
If the corners of the frame are not  
flush with the worktop surface, the  
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully  
scribed to fit.  
Make sure that the sealant does not  
come into contact with the top of the  
worktop.  
^ Connect the hob to the mains.  
^ Check that the hob works.  
These hobs have a seal underneath  
them to keep the hob securely in  
position. Clamps are not required.  
Any gap between the frame and  
worktop will reduce with time.  
41  
 
General installation tips  
Tiled worktop  
Do not use any sealant unless  
expressly instructed to do so. The  
sealing strip under the edge of the top  
part of the appliance provides a  
sufficient seal for the worktop.  
Grout lines a and the hatched area  
underneath the hob frame must be  
smooth and even. If they are not the  
hob will not sit flush with the worktop  
and the sealing strip underneath the  
hob will not provide a good seal  
between the hob and the worktop.  
Do not use sealant between the  
frame of the top part of the hob and  
the worktop.  
This could cause difficulties if the  
hob ever needs to be taken out for  
servicing and possibly result in  
damage to the frame or the worktop.  
42  
 
Electrical connection  
Connection should be made via a  
suitable isolator which complies with  
national and local safety regulations,  
and the On/Off switch should be easily  
accessible after the appliance has  
been built in.  
All electrical work should be carried  
out by a suitably qualified and  
competent person, in strict  
accordance with current local and  
national safety regulations (BS 7671  
in the UK).  
If the switch is not accessible after  
installation (depending on country) an  
additional means of disconnection must  
be provided for all poles.  
Installation, repairs and other work  
by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for  
For extra safety it is advisable to protect  
the appliance with a residual current  
device (RCD). Please contact a  
unauthorised work.
