Operation
Operating principles
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact. For safety reasons,
when switching the appliance on, the
On/Off sensor needs to be touched
for a little longer than the other sensors.
Each time you touch a sensor, an
acoustic signal sounds.
Only the printed On/Off symbol is
visible when the cooktop is switched
off. More sensor controls light up when
the cooktop is switched on.

Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensor controls.
If the sensor controls are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail
to react, to activate a function
inadvertently or even to switch the
appliance off automatically (see
"Safety switch-off"). Placing hot
pans on the sensor controls/
indicators can damage the electronic
unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and
indicators clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensor control or indicators.
Do not place hot pans over the
sensor controls or indicators.
