The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from failure to follow the safety instructions and warnings.

Damage caused by incorrect connection, incorrect fitting, or incorrect use is not covered by the warranty.

• NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then cover the flames with, for example, a lid or a fire blanket.

• Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.

• If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials. Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.

• The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.

• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or scalded.

• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.

• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects could melt, become hot or catch fire.

• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.

• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.

• When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

• Never open the casing of the appliance.

• Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning the appliance. Only clean the appliance when switched off. The steam of a steam cleaner could reach the conducting parts and cause an electrical short.

• The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable. For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it to break.

• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• The appliance is not designed for heating rooms.

• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the appliance.

• The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.

CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

• The burner components are hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant materials.

• Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water. Rapid cooling can damage the enamel.

• The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In the case of smaller distances, the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.

• Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.

• Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.

• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can burn into the burner caps and pan supports.

• The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.

• Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.

• Do not use griddle plates or baking plates.

• Clean the burner parts regularly for the safe and correct operation of the burners.

• Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber feet are missing, please contact our service department.

• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the surface of the cooking hob; they may become hot.

• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching on the appliance.

• After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t rely only on the pan detector.

• Remember that if the hob is used in a high setting, the heating time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone in a high setting.

• When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.

• Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example through a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the power of the cooking zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off completely.

Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

Cooking settings	The cooking zone or wok burner switches off automatically after:
1 and 2	9 hours
3, 4 and 5	6 hours
6, 7 and 8	4 hours

In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a large zone, the zone will adjust the power to the pan's diameter. The power will thus be lower, and it will take longer before the food comes to a boil.

The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.

Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food takes just as long as other types of cooking.

The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot burn into the glass.

The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.

Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.

A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones. A soft ticking sound can also occur at lower settings.

The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the pan. This is normal for certain pans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.

The appliance is fitted with a ventilator in order to increase the lifespan of electronic components. If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound. The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.

The minimum diameter for the pan base is 12 cm. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.

Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops cooking immediately.

Only use cookware with a suitable diameter. The cookware must not protrude over the edge of the hob. Never use small cookware on large burners. The flames must not touch the sides of the cookware. Refer to the table.

Wok burner	22 cm	30 cm

1. Press the timer/cooking timer button from the cooking zone once.

2. Press the + or - button to switch from the timer function to the kitchen timer function. After that, you can set the desired cooking time with the + button. Then you can change the set time with the - button.

   The red arrow pointing downwards lights up. Time is counting down.

After 9 minutes and 0 seconds (‘9.00’), the word ‘.min’ appears above the display and the minutes will be added behind the dot.

Once the hob is switched on, if a pan is placed on an inactive cooking zone, the corresponding control will light up and can be operated immediately (without operating the on/off button). If the cooking zone is not switched on within 10 seconds it will switch itself off again.

The cooking zone can be reactivated by removing the pan and replacing it on the cooking zone or by using the on/off button.

This function is active by default, but can also be switched off. This is done by switching the hob off and operating the ‘Menu’ and ‘on/ off button’ on the left-hand control panel for 5 seconds. ‘APd OFF’ will appear on the display. By repeating this process, the function can be reactivated and the ‘APd On’ will appear on the display.

‘Boost’ has been switched on, the display shows setting 12 and ‘boost’.

1. Press the << button or the - button.

   In the display you will see a lower setting.

   Or:

2. Press the on/off button of the cooking zone you want to switch off.

   You will hear a single audio signal and the display dims. The cooking zone has been switched off completely.

Hold two keys down at the same time (for a few seconds): the << button on the rear Bridge Induction zone and the >> button on the front Bridge Induction zone.

The zones are not connected anymore. The rear cooking zone display dims and setting 1 appears in the front cooking zone display.

Or:

Press the on/off button of the front cooking zone to switch off both cooking zones.

You will hear a single audio signal and the display dims. The cooking zone has been switched off completely.

• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you clean the hob immediately after use.

• For daily cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent is best.

• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.

• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent, washing-up liquid, for example.

• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.

• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special products are available for this.

• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar are also best removed with a glass scraper.

Persistent stains can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic scouring sponge. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.

Some wok burner parts are made of brass. It is not unusual to see a change in the colour of the brass as a result of the high temperatures involved in wok use.
