- Heat Setting: Heat settings are adjusted using the '+' and '-' sensor fields. A cooking zone can be deactivated by touching '+' and '-' simultaneously.
- Automatic Switch Off: The hob automatically deactivates if all cooking zones are off, no heat setting is set after activation, or if an object is placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds. The duration before automatic switch-off varies with the heat setting (e.g., 6 hours for settings 1-2, 1.5 hours for 6-9).
- Residual Heat Indicator (H): This indicator appears when a cooking zone is hot, warning of burn risk. It can also appear for neighboring zones, when hot cookware is placed on a cold zone, or when the hob is deactivated but still hot.

- Count Down Timer: Sets a specific cooking duration (00-99 minutes) for a single cooking session. The indicator of the selected cooking zone flashes as time counts down. An acoustic signal sounds and "00" flashes when the countdown ends.
- Minute Minder: Can be used when the hob is activated but cooking zones are not operating. Sets a time, and an acoustic signal sounds with "00" flashing when the time finishes.
- Pause Function (||): Sets all operating cooking zones to the lowest heat setting. All other symbols on the control panel are locked. Timer functions are not affected.
- Lock Function: Locks the control panel to prevent accidental changes to the heat setting while cooking zones are operating. The Timer stays on during this function.
- Child Safety Device: Prevents accidental operation of the hob. It can be activated and deactivated through a specific sequence of sensor field touches.
- OffSound Control: Allows deactivation or activation of the hob's sounds.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: Clean the hob regularly after each use to prevent deterioration of the surface material. Switch off the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Use a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents. Avoid abrasive products, solvents, metal objects, water spray, and steam cleaners.
- Cleaning the Hob Surface:
- Immediately remove melted plastic, plastic foil, salt, sugar, and food with sugar to prevent damage. Use a special hob scraper at an acute angle.
- Once the hob is sufficiently cool, remove limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discoloration using a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent, then wipe dry.
- Remove shiny metallic discoloration with a solution of water and vinegar.
- Cookware Care: To prevent overheating and improve performance, use cookware with thick, flat, clean, and dry bases. Avoid sliding or rubbing cookware on the glass surface to prevent chipping or damage. Cookware made of enamelled steel, aluminum, or copper bottoms may cause color changes on the glass-ceramic surface.
The manual emphasizes several safety instructions, including:
- Children and vulnerable people safety: Appliance can be used by children aged 8+ with supervision. Children under 8 or with extensive disabilities need continuous supervision.
- General safety: Appliance for cooking purposes only, designed for single household domestic use. Hot surfaces warning. Unattended cooking with fat/oil is dangerous. Do not use water to extinguish cooking fires; switch off and cover flames. Do not supply through external switching devices. Supervise cooking processes. Do not store items on cooking surfaces.
- Installation safety: Only qualified persons should install. Remove packaging. Do not install damaged appliances. Follow instructions. Maintain minimum distances. Use safety gloves and enclosed footwear. Seal cut surfaces. Protect from steam/moisture. Do not install near doors/windows. Ensure air circulation if installed above drawers. Install a separation panel below the hob.
- Electrical connection safety: All connections by qualified electrician. Appliance must be earthed. Disconnect from power supply before operations. Check compatibility of rating plate parameters with mains supply. Ensure correct installation to prevent terminal overheating. Use correct mains cable, avoid tangling. Install shock protection. Use strain relief clamp. Prevent mains cable/plug contact with hot appliance/cookware. Do not use multi-plug adapters/extension cables. Do not damage mains plug/cable. Ensure access to mains plug after installation. Do not pull mains cable to disconnect. Use correct isolation devices with minimum 3 mm contact opening width.
- Use safety: Do not change appliance specification. Remove packaging/labels/film before first use. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked. Do not leave unattended. Set cooking zone to "off" after each use. Do not put cutlery/saucepan lids on hot cooking zones. Do not operate with wet hands. Do not use as work/storage surface. Disconnect immediately if surface is cracked. Be careful of splashing when placing food into hot oil. Do not use aluminum foil or other materials between cooking surface and cookware unless specified. Use only manufacturer-recommended accessories.
- Fire/explosion risk: Fats/oils release flammable vapors when heated. Keep flames/heated objects away from fats/oils. Very hot oil vapors can cause spontaneous combustion. Used oil can cause fire at lower temperatures. Do not put flammable products in/near/on appliance.
