Before using for the first time  
Clean the cooktop  
Heat the cooktop  
^ 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.

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.

– 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.

– 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.  
– Use little water when cooking and  
take care to select a lower energy  
level as soon as cooking is  
completed.  
– 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.

Safety features  
Overheat protection  
Each burner is equipped with a  
temperature limiter. This feature  
automatically turns off the heating  
element before the glass ceramic  
surface becomes too hot.  
When the overheat protection is  
triggered, the heating element turns on  
and off even at the highest power level.  
Once the glass ceramic surface has  
cooled to a safe temperature the  
heating element will automatically turn  
back on.  
The overheat protection is activated by:  
– turning a burner on without putting a  
pan on it.  
– heating an empty pan.  
– a pan with an uneven bottom not  
sitting evenly on the burner.  
– the pan not conducting heat  
properly.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Safety distance from divider  
Safety distances above the  
appliance  
Installation of a divider under the  
cooktop is not required.  
If a divider is fitted under the cooktop,  
the distance between the upper edge  
of the work surface and the upper edge  
of the divider must be at least 4 ½ "  
(110 mm).  
A gap of at least 1 3/8"" (35 mm) must  
be provided between the rear edge of  
the divider and the rear wall of the  
cabinet so that the power cord can be  
passed through.  
The minimum safety distance given by  
the hood manufacturer must be  
maintained between the cooktop and  
the hood above it. See the installation  
instructions of the hood for these safety  
measurements.  
If the hood manufacturer's instructions  
are not available or if flammable objects  
are installed over the cooktop  
(e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a  
minimum safety distance of 30"  
(760 mm) must be maintained.  
If there is more than one appliance  
beneath a hood (e.g. wok burner  
and electric cooktop), and they have  
different minimum safety distances,  
always observe the greater  
distance.

Installation  
Safety distance from the wall covering  
If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained  
between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can  
damage these materials.  
If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance  
between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of  
2" (50 mm).  
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite  
or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance e between the countertop cut-out  
and the wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering.  
For example: thickness of wall covering 9/16" (15 mm)  
2" (50 mm) - 9/16" (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8" (35 mm).

Tiled surfaces  
The grouting a and shaded area under  
the appliance frame must be flat and  
even so that the frame will lie evenly  
and the sealing strip under the edge of  
the upper part of the appliance can  
provide an adequate seal against the  
countertop.  
The appliance must not be permanently  
sealed into the countertop when  
installed. The sealing strip under the  
edge of the appliance provides a  
sufficient seal for the countertop.  
If the appliance is sealed into  
position, the countertop or appliance  
could be damaged if it needs to be  
removed for maintenance or service.

Installation  
Wood or solid surface countertop  
The exact positions of the spring  
clamps and the support bars (for  
beveled cooktops only) are shown in  
the "Installation dimensions" of each  
unit.  
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable  
sealant to avoid swelling caused by  
moisture.  
The materials used must be heat  
resistant.  
Facet cooktops:  
Ensure that these materials do not  
get on the top surface of the  
countertop panels.  
A special sealing strip ensures the  
slip-proof seating of the cooktop in  
the cutout. The gap between the  
frame and the countertop will narrow  
after a little time has passed.  
^ Create the countertop cutout as  
shown in the "Installation  
dimensions". Observe the safety  
distances (see "Installation Safety  
Instructions").  
^ Position the spring clips and the  
securing strips (supplied with the  
appliance; only for facet cooktops)  
on the top edge of the cut-out  
^ Attach the spring clips a and the  
securing strips b with the  
3.5 x 25 mm wood screws (supplied).

Installation  
Insert the cooktop  
^ Feed the power cord down through  
the cut-out.  
^ Place the cooktop lightly on the  
spring clips.  
^ With a hand on each side of the  
appliance press down evenly on the  
edges until it clicks into position.  
When doing so make sure that the  
appliance seal sits tightly on the  
countertop to ensure it is sealed  
correctly. This is important to ensure  
an effective seal. Do not permanently  
seal into the countertop.  
If during installation the seal around  
the frame does not sit flush with the  
countertop in the corners, the corner  
radius, maximum 3/16" (4 mm), can be  
carefully filed down to fit.  
^ Connect the appliance to the main  
power supply (see "Electrical  
connection").  
^ Turn the appliance on and check the  
function.  
The appliance may be lifted out  
using a special tool.  
The appliance can also be pushed  
up and out from underneath.
