Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not
come in contact with the cooking surface. Dish cloths, potholders
and aprons should not be stored near the surface units.
■
This appliance is for residential use only. Use for any other purpose
is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer
can’t be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of this
appliance.
■
■
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the untensil, the handle of
an utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
■
■
■
■
Danger of burning! The cook top becomes hot
during operation. CAUTION: Keep children away
from this appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch a hot
surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
CAUTION! Items of interest to children should not be stored in cab-
inets above a cooktop. A child can be seriously injured by climbing
on a cooktop to reach them.
■ CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils can be used on the range-top without breaking, due
to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions!
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the ap-
pliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
Don’t touch the cooking surface or areas near it. The cooking surface
may be hot even though it’s dark in color. Areas near it may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch the
surface, or let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact
with it until it’s had time to cool.
■
Do not place non-food items on the cooking surface when it's hot.
■
Be careful when working with attachments! The connecting cord
must not come in contact with the hot cooking surface.
■
Do not put plastic on the cooking surface. Things that can melt
(i.e. plastics, foils or sugar), must be kept away from the cooking
surface. Be sure to immediately remove or lift off any melted
item from the hot cooking surface. Use the supplied cleaning
scraper in order to avoid damage to the cooking surface.
■
Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with different
sized surface units. Use flat-bottomed cookware that is large enough
to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will leave a portion of the heating element exposed and
direct contact could result in the ignition of clothing. Using a proper
relationship between cookware and burners wil also improve
efficiency. Review “Selecting pots and pans“ on page 7.
Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
Don’t put combustible or flammable objects on the cooking top.
They could be ignited if the burners are unintentionally turned on.
■
Clean and remove any burned-on materials. Don’t heat these
materials repeatedly.
■
■
Lime deposits are harmful to the cooking surface.
■
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■
■
Do not use aluminium foil to line the surface unit drip bowls.
■
Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions carefully!
The glass ceramic surface is very durable and can easily withstand
light to medium impacts and loads distributed over large areas. Be
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling on
the surface to avoid cracking or breaking of the cooking surface.
Before using the first time
– Before using the appliance the first time, be sure to clean the cooking sur-
face with a mixture of water and mild detergent on a clean cloth. Then wipe
the surface dry with a non-fluffy cloth.
■ CAUTION! If the cooking surface becomes cracked or fractured, quit
using the appliance immediately. Disconnect the power and call
Customer Service. Cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
■
■
■
Never flambé under the cooker hood. The fat in the filter can
ignite!
The connecting cable must not come in contact with the hot cooking
surface.
CAUTION: Overheated greases and oils may ignite themselves.
Prepare meals with greases and oils very carefully and control the
heat. Should fats or oils ignite, do not use water to extinguish them!
Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type

The pan recognition function
If the pan recognition function is activated, the dual circuit zone has a sensor
to detect the size of the pan being used.
Using the respective minus key, immediately switch off the cooking zone.
Do not turn it off just by pot recognition.
[
When a small pan is placed on the cooking zone, only the inner ring will switch
on. If the entire zone is covered by the pan, both rings will switch on.
If you have deactivated the pan recognition function and you switch off
the cooking zone, the pan recognition function is activated again!
[
Please note that the outer ring must always be completely covered, even if
you are using pans with a rounded base.
Only operate he pan recognition function with utensils made of metal!
F
All cooking zones have a pan recognition function. This means the cooking
zone will recognize whether a saucepan has been put on the cooking zone or
not.
The dual-circuit zone can also detect the saucepan size (see “The automatic
pan size sensor of the dual circuit zone/frying zone” at the next page).
If a suitable pan is put on the cooking zone, “U” is
indicated by the display.
Moving the pan during cooking can cause the outer ring to switch off if it
hasn’t been completely covered.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is put on the cook-
ing zone, an underlined “U” is indicated.
If the cooking zone is on and there is no pan or
pot on it, the cooking zone automatically switches
itself off after 1 minute. This means you must
switch on the cooking zone to cook again, which
reactivates the pan recognition!
Time limit function
The appliance is equipped with an automatic time limit function. This function
makes sure that the appliance isn’t in operation for an extended period of time.
The time period of the time limit depends on the selected cooking setting, i.e.
The higher the selected cooking setting, the faster the appliance is switched
off.
Deactivate the pan recognition function
When glass pans or other pans that are unsuitable for use with the
saucepan sensor are used, you must deactivate the pan recognition func-
tion. This must be done for each and every cooking zone.

Child proof lock (sensor-lock) Selecting pots and pans
Operating the sensor lock prevents unauthorized people from using the appli-
ance. In order to activate this lock, the cooking area has to be in operation.
CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
[
ware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions!
Activating childproof lock:
Press the sensor lock (2 seconds).
The childproof lock can be activa-
ted if the cooking area is in oper-
ation. It will only allow the selection
of a lower cooking setting or the
off switch.
Only pots and pans made of metal can be used with the pan recognition
function. To use other kinds of utensils, please deactivate the pan rec-
ognition function.
F
You can save time and power by using ideal pots and pans.
■ Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
Uneven bottom surfaces can increase energy usage and the amount of time
needed to start the cooking process..
The lock is indicated by 3 flashing control indicators. .
■ Pans with rough bottom surfaces will scratch the glass-ceramic cooking
area when they are moved around.
■ Use a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.
Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Be careful: Switching off the cooking area doesn’t deactivate the childproof
lock!
Deactivating the child proof lock:
at once,
after max. 3 Sek.
■ Whenever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
It will help you save a lot of energy. Liquids and foods will only boil over if
the temperature is set too high. The cooking zones enable you to set the
required temperature precisely. With a little practice, you’ll learn how to
choose the perfect cooking settings so nothing will boil over--even when a
lid is on.!
Press the sensors beneath the two left flashing control indicators at once.
For less than three seconds press the sensor under the flashing control indi-
cator on the right.
Note: When the power supply has been interrupted, the childproof lock is no
longer active.
What happens if...
■ ...you press two or more sensor keys – at the same time? (i.e. when
a pan is mistakenly put onto the sensor key?)
No function is activated. An audible signal will sound after 10 seconds. The
appliance will switch off automatically after 20 seconds.
■ ...you continue to press a sensor button even after having set the
highest cooking setting?
An audible signal will sound after 10 seconds. After 20 seconds the appli-
ance will switch off automatically.
■ ...there is a power outage?
The appliance won’t automatically switch on again. If the childproof lock was
activated before the power failure, it will be deactivated.
■ ...the electronics overheat?
The cooktop will automatically switch off. All 4 LED indicators will flash and
a cyclical signal will be heard.

What do you do if…
... one or more sensors don’t react to touch?
Possible cause: The sensors constantly adapt in sensitivity to ambient
conditions. Unfavorable conditions (i.e. if something is laying on a sensor)
may cause the sensors not to react for several minutes.)
Wait for about 15 minutes or pull the appropriate fuse and then re-in-
sert it. Repeat this procedure if necessary!
Cleaning the cooking surface
– Use the cleaning scraper to remove all food residue and fat splashes from
the hot cooking surface.
– When the cooking surface has cooled, clean it with water and a small
amount of detergent, with a cleanser for glass ceramic surfaces or with
VSR O-FIX-C. A soft brush or a soft sponge can also be used.
The keys have adapted and will react to touch again.
... one or more sensors don’t react to touch despite repeating this
procedure?
Possible cause: Faulty sensor key or component.
– Wipe off the surface with clear water.
– Dry it thoroughly.
If you’ve repeated the procedure and the keys still don’t react, pull the
fuse again and then contact our Customer Service.
Remove caking
... the circle next to the cooking setting lights up?
Possible cause:
Heavy food residue should be soaked first. Use a wet cloth for best results. It

If this circle lights up, there is a defect
in the pan recognition function,. You
can nevertheless continue to use the
