Operating Instructions

Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical

standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufac-

turers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the

following safety instructions.

Electrical Safety

• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be

carried out by qualified personnel.

• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved serv-

ice engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause

injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing,

please contact your local AEG customer center or your dealer.

Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the

event of damages.

• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa-

tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform

to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against

contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of

German Electrical Engineers].

• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:

– switch off all cooking zones,

– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

Child Safety

The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always

keep small children away from the appliance.

Safety During Use

• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the

home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

• Do not use the hob to heat the room.

• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near

the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot

surface.

Operating Instructions

72

• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise

cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).

• Switch off the cooking zones after use.

Safety When Cleaning

• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high

pressure cleaner.

• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in-

structions in this manual.

How to Avoid Damaging Your Appliance

• Do not use the hob surface as a working surface or for storage.

• Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans or without pans.

• Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust,

however, it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp objects, in particular,

can damage the cooking surface if they fall on it.

• Do not use cast iron pots or pans with damaged bases that are rough

or burred. Scratching may occur when the lids are slid.

• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching may occur or the

paint damaged.

• Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon limescale re-

moving agents do not come into contact with the hob frame, other-

wise matt spots will appear.

• If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact with a hot

cooking zone and then melts, remove the soiling immediately whilst

still warm, using a glass scraper. If it cools, damage to the surface

may occur.

• Keep all items and materials that melt away from the ceramic glass

surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil or oven foils. If something of this

nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must be re-

moved immediately using a glass scraper.

Operating Instructions

73

Disposal

Disposing of the packaging material

• All parts of the packaging can be fully recycled; foil and expanded

polyurethane parts are appropriately identified. Please dispose of

packaging material and, if appropriate, your old appliance properly.

• Please follow the national and regional regulations and material

identification (material separation, refuse collection, waste disposal

sites).

Information on disposal

• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

• You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse

disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.

• Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.

Remove the mains lead.

Operating Instructions

74

The Key Features of Your Appliance

• Glass ceramic cooking surface: The appliance has a glass ceramic

cooking surface and 4 rapid response cooking zones. The particularly

powerful radiant heater elements significantly shorten the amount of

time taken for the zones to heat up.

• Sensor fields: Your appliance is operated using

TOUCH CONTROL sensor fields.

• Cleaning: The advantage of the glass ceramic cooking surface and

the sensor fields is their accessibility for cleaning. The smooth, flat

surface is easy to clean (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

• On/Off sensor field: The “On/Off” sensor field provides the appliance

with a separate mains switch. Touching this switches the power sup-

ply on or off completely.

• Control and function indicators: Digital indicators or control lamp

provide information about settings made, functions activated, as well

as any residual heat of the corresponding cooking zone.

• Safety cut-out: A safety cut-out ensures that all cooking zones

switch off automatically after a period of time if the setting has not

been changed.

• Keep warm setting: ! is the setting for keeping foods warm.

• Residual heat indicator: An h for residual heat is shown in the dis-

play if the cooking zone becomes so hot that there is a risk of burn-

ing.

• Dual cooking zone: The appliance is fitted with a dual cooking zone.

This means you may use this cooking zone in two sizes, for smaller

and larger pots. A chance for saving energy.

• Child safety feature: This function makes it possible to lock the hob

to prevent it being switched on unintentionally.

switch off immediately.

If you place a wet cloth on the control panel it has the same effect. In

both cases the appliance has to be switched on again using the mains

switch

n after removing the liquid or cloth.
