Environmental protection
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Environmental protection
Tips for saving energy
Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.Cooking without
the lid requires four times as much energy. A glass lid allows
you to observe the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
Use pots and pans with level bases. Using cookware with
unlevel bases increases energy consumption.
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are
placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the
top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large
saucepan containing little food requires more energy.
Use only a little water when cooking. This will save energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
Damage Cause Action
Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the
ceramic.
Check your cookware.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with the

Sensor cooking system
The sensor cooking system is suitable for dishes heated in
liquid or lots of fat. When you extend the cooking sensors, you
can cook directly on the adjacent cooking zones with the
sensor cooking system.
Note: The sensor cooking system is not suitable for frying.
How the sensor cooking system works
Every pot containing hot food gives off heat. The cooking
sensor detects this heat and the hob uses this to automatically
regulate the temperature of the pot.
Advantages when cooking
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves
energy.
Oil and fat do not overheat.
Boiling over is prevented and you do not have to keep
correcting the temperature.
Saucepans for the sensor cooking system
Sensor-compatible saucepans have a surface which dissipates
heat to the sensor particularly well. If saucepans are used that
are unsuitable, the adjustment function does not work. The food
could boil over or burn.
Suitable saucepans
You can use suitable enamelled saucepans. The base of the
pot must be large enough to completely cover the hotplate. Use
the supplied sensor strips with stainless steel and aluminium
saucepans.
Sensor strips
The sensor strips enclosed can also be obtained as a special
accessory from your specialist electrical store. Please specify

The temperature ranges
When cooking with the sensor cooking system, instead of
setting heat settings, you set temperature ranges. There are five
temperature ranges available:
Altitude calibration
The point at which water begins to boil depends on the height
of your kitchen above sea level. If your food is boiling too
vigourously or too weakly, you can set the boiling point:
Call up
™… in the basic settings. Select the hotplate. The default
setting is
. Select the appropriate value for your altitude:
You can find out how to change the values in the Basic settings
section.
Notes
At altitudes of 0 400 m, the boiling point need not be set.
Initially, you should cook using the default setting. If you are
not satisfied with the boiling result, change the boiling point
setting.
The 90100 °C temperature range is adequate for boiling,
even if the water does not bubble as much as usual.
Cooking with the cooking sensor technology
The hotplate must be selected.
1.Place the food in the pot and fill with at least two fingers'
depth of liquid.
2.Place the pot in the centre of the hotplate and cover with the
lid.
3.Press the cooking sensor on the desired hotplate so that it
pops out. The
in the display lights up. The possible
temperature ranges appear in the display menu.
4.Within the next 10 seconds, set the desired temperature on
the settings range. The temperature lights up in the display.
The sensor cooking system is activated.
The temperature symbol remains lit until the temperature is
reached. Then a signal sounds. The temperature symbol goes
out. The sensor cooking system maintains the temperature of
the saucepan within the set temperature range.
Switching off the sensor cooking system
Switch off the hotplate. Depress the cooking sensor, so that the
sensor window does not get dirty.
Notes
You can also place the food in hot water. Fill the pot with
liquid only. Adjust the settings as described in points 3 and 4.
When the temperature is reached and a signal sounds, add
the food to the liquid.
The top of the depressed cooking sensor gets hot if the
adjacent hotplate is switched on.

Table of cooking times for the sensor cooking system
The table shows which temperature range is suitable for which
dish. Cooking times may depend on the type, weight and
quality of the food.
Deep frying food
Never leave fat heating unattended - risk of fire.
Deep-frying fat
Only use a suitable oil or fat for deep frying, e.g. vegetable oil.
Break blocks of fat into small pieces. Make sure that there is
enough fat in the pot. The minimum level is the width of two
fingers.
Unsuitable fat
Mixtures of fat, e.g. oil and fat or various types of fat, are not
suitable. The hot fat may froth up.
Heating the fat
Heat the fat in a pot with a lid. When the signal sounds, the fat
is hot. You can then deep fry the food.
Deep-fat frying
Always deep fry without a lid on the pot.
1. Add the first portion and deep fry.
2. Take it out. If the temperature symbol does not light up, the
fat is hot enough for the next portion. If it does light up, do not
add the next portion until the signal sounds and the
temperature symbol goes out.
3. Deep fry the next portion.

Tips for cooking
Sensor frying system
If you operate the hotplate with the sensor frying system, a
sensor regulates the temperature of the pan.
Advantages when frying
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves energy.
Oil and fat do not overheat.
Notes
Never leave fat unattended while you are heating it.
Put the pan in the centre of the hotplate. Make sure that the
base of the pan has the correct diameter.
Do not place a lid on the pan, otherwise the regulator will not
work. You can use a splatter guard; it will not prevent the
regulator from working.
Only use fat that is suitable for frying. For butter, margarine,
olive oil or lard, select the min frying setting.
