Glass ceramic hob
To prevent the glass ceramic from becoming
damaged and to ensure it lasts longer, you
need to care for it, maintain it and use suita-
ble cookware.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in se-
vere injury or death.
■ Do not continue to cook if you fi nd
cracks in the glass ceramic. Wa-
ter that runs through cracks inside
the device may be live! If there are
cracks in the glass ceramic, discon-
nect the glass ceramic hob from
the mains supply (switch off circuit
breaker(s)/unscrew fuse[s]) and
then contact our Service Centre
(see „Our service“ on page GB-36).
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in damage.
■ Do not push heavy pans across
the appliance; this may scratch the
glass ceramic.
■ Wipe the glass ceramic and the
bottom of the pots prior to use in
order to remove any dirt which may
cause scratches.
■ Only use the hob as a work surface
or to place objects on once it has
completely cooled off. Materials
which are sensitive to heat such as
plastic dishes could become dam-
aged if this is the case.

How a induction works
A coil with an electric current running through
it is located beneath the glass ceramic sur-
face that generates a magnetic alternating
field. This alternating field induces eddy cur-
rents in cookware placed on the cooking sur-
face and thereby heats the cookware. The
eddy currents therefore turn the cookware
into a source of heat itself. The surface of the
glass ceramic hob heats up, but not because
of the electric field, rather due to the heat em-
anating from the pot.
The main advantages of an induction hob as
compared to a conventional glass ceramic
hob are listed below:
– The cooking process is expedited.
– Energy consumption is considerably low-
ered.
– Greater flexibility: Only the section where
the cookware is actually placed heats up.
– Cleaning the hob is made easier because
the glass ceramic is heated only where the
pot makes contact with the hob and there
is less chance of food easily burning.
– Higher safety: As soon as cookware is
removed from the hob, the cooking zone
automatically switches off. The cooking
zone cannot be switched on without any
cookware.
