Safety instructions

Connection and operation

• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the

relevant safety regulations.

• Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and

servicing the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For
your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified
service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.

Concerning the hob

• Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as

the high power setting (power max.) results in extremely
fast reactions.

• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the

cooking zones. Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there is a risk
of the pots overheating!

• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which

have been switched on.

• Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water

may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to
the hob for which no liability will be assumed.

• It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off

with the respective minus key and not just with the pan
recognition device.

• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always

supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.

• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You

should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might
break it.

• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass

ceramic hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.

• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor

control immediately disconnect your appliance and call
Customer service.

• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting

cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.

• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.

• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones.

Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in
particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any
sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to
avoid damaging the hob.

• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put

down on the induction hob since they may become hot. Risk of
burning!

• Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat deformable

objects directly underneath the hob.

• Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the

immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) will not be
affected.

• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food

or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!

• Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may consider

dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans, tea towels
etc.) onto the sensor keys!
If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to
activate the OFF key.

• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will

cause the appliance to switch off automatically.

• Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home

which could make contact with the hob.

• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation

is taking place in a built-in oven.

Concerning persons

• Caution!

People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must only be
allowed to operate it under supervision. Small children must
always be kept away from the hob. Never allow them to play
with the appliance.

• Attention!

The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot
during use. Keep small children away at all times.

• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps

must make sure that their implants are not affected by the
induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is
20-50 kHz).

Operation

The hob

The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An
induction coil underneath the glass ceramic hob generates an
electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass
ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred
from a heating element through the cooking pot into the food
being cooked; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in
the container by means of induction currents.

Advantages of the induction hob

– Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to

the pot (suitable pots/pans made of magnetisable material are
required).

– Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot

is placed on the hob.

– Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking

zone and the base of a pot.

– Rapid heat-up.
– The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated

through the pan base; food which boils over does not stick to
the surface.

– Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

Pan recognition

If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone
or if the pan is too small, there will be no transmission of power. A
blinking in the cooking level display points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power
setting will switch on and the power setting display will light up.
The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and the
power setting display will indicate a blinking .
If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller
dimension, and the pan recognition still switches on, less power
will be supplied.

Pan recognition limits

Operating time limit

The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends on
the cooking level selected (see chart), provided that the setting of
a respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone
will switch off, a short signal will sound and an H will appear in
the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time
limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only switched off when the period of
time of the automatic switch-off device has expired (e.g.
automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 12 is
possible).

Other functions

If two or more sensor keys are pressed at the same time (e.g.
when a pan is mistakenly put onto a sensor key) no function will
be activated.
The symbol will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will
sound. After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please
remove the item located in front of the sensor keys.
To delete the symbol press the same key or switch the hob off
and on.

Protection against overheating

If the hob is used at full power for a longer period, it will not be
possible to cool down the electronics system as required at a
high room temperature.
In order to ensure that no excessive temperatures occur in the
electronics system the power of the cooking zones may be
reduced automatically.
Should E2 be displayed frequently during normal use of the hob
and at normal room temperature, it is likely that cooling is not
sufficient.
The reason may be that there are no openings for cooling
purposes in the kitchen units or that there is no insulation. It may
be necessary to check the installation of the hob.

Operation

Cookware for induction hobs

Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal
and have magnetic properties. The base must be sufficiently
large.

Only use pots with a base suitable for induction.

This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:

Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the
pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction
current.
Magnet test:
Move a magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is
attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob.
Note:
When using pans suitable for induction from certain
manufacturers, noises may occur which are attributable to the
design of these pans.

Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may
dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob
for which no liability will be assumed.

How to cut power consumption

The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your
consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the
cookware efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pots should be the same size as the

cooking zone.

• When buying cooking pots, note that it is frequently the

diameter of the top of the pot that it indicated. This is usually
larger than the base of a pot.

• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time

required thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are
tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are
preserved.

• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure

cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be
damaged as a result of overheating if the pressure cooker
boils dry.

• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right pot for the quantity of food you are cooking. A

large pot which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.

Power settings

The heating power of the cooking zones can be set at various
power levels. In the chart you will find examples of how to use
each setting.

Residual heat display

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with an H as a
residual heat display.
As long as the H lights up after the cooking zone has
been switched off, the residual heat can be used for melting food
or for keeping food warm.
The cooking zone may still be hot when the letter H no longer
lights up. Risk of burns!
The glass ceramic is not directly heated in the case of an
induction cooking zone; it is only heated up by heat reflected by
the pan.

Using the wok pan

• Never cut or scrape anything in the wok pan with knives or any

other sharp gadgets. This could damage the coating.

• No foreign bodies or dirt must be allowed to get between the

wok pan and the hob since they may damage the surface.

• Do not overheat the wok pan when it is empty.

Only use the wok pan made of high-quality, coated cast
aluminium which is supplied. It fits exactly into the wok cavity,
enabling heat to be optimally utilized.
Should you require a replacement wok pan or its glass lid or wish
to have two pans and lids, please contact the Küppersbusch
customer service.

Cleaning and Care

• Before cleaning, switch off the hob and let it cool down.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or

similar appliance!

• When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the

ON/OFF key

. The hob may otherwise be accidentally switched

on!

Glass ceramic hob

Important!

Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough

scouring agents, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and stain
removers etc.

Cleaning after use
1.

Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is

recommended that you do so every time the hob is used. Use a
damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry
the hob with a clean dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent
left on the surface of the hob.

Weekly clean
2.

Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial

glass ceramic cleaning agents.
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective
film which is resistant to water and dirt. All dirt remains on the film
and can be removed easily. Then rub the hob dry with a clean
cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface
of the hob since this will react aggressively when the hob is
heated up and will change the surface.

Specific soiling

Heavy soiling

and stains (limescaling and shiny, mother-of-

pearl-type stains) can best be removed when the hob is still
slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under Item 2.

First soak food which has boiled over

with a wet cloth and

then remove remaining soiling with a special glass scraper for
glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described
under Item 2.

Burnt sugar

and melted plastic must be removed immediately,

when they are still hot, with a glass scraper. Then clean the hob
again as described under Item 2.

Grains of sand

which may get onto the hob when you peel

potatoes or clean lettuce may scratch the surface of the hob
when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of sand
are left on the hob.

Changes in the colour

of the hob will not affect the function and

the stability of the glass ceramic material. These colour changes
are not changes in the material but food residues which were not
removed and which have burnt into the surface.

Shiny spots

result when the base of the cookware rubs on the

surface of the hob, particularly when cookware with an aluminium
base or unsuitable cleaning agents are used. They are difficult to
remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to repeat
the cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration will
wear off and dark stains will appear as a result of using
aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bases.

Cleaning the wok pan

• The wok pan must have cooled down

sufficiently before it is cleaned.

• Do not use any cleaning agents since these

may damage the coating of the pan. Only
use a cloth or a soft brush.

• Firstly remove all food rests and fat from the pan. Clean the

pan with water and some detergent. Rinse it with clear water
and then dry it.

What to do if trouble occurs

Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unqualified
persons are dangerous as they can result in electric shock, or
short circuit. Do no interfere with or try to repair the appliance;
this could cause injury and damage to the appliance. Therefore
always have such work done by an expert, e.g. the technical
Customer Service.

Please note

If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify
the problem yourself by consulting these instructions for use.

You may be able to rectify some problems yourself.
They are described below.

The fuses blow regularly?

Contact a technical customer service or an electrician!

You can't switch your induction hob on?

• Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown a fuse?
• Has the hob been connected to the mains?
• Are the sensor keys locked (childproof lock), i.e. is the control

key above the stop key illuminated?

• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fluid or a

An error code (ERxx or Ex) is indicated?

The appliance has developed a technical defect. Please call
Customer service.

The pot sign appears?

A cooking zone has been switched on and the hob is expecting a
suitable pot or pan to be placed on the cooking zone (pan
recognition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking
zone will power be supplied.

The pot sign still appears, even though a pot or
pan was placed on the hob?

The cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking or the pot or
pan is too small.

Is the cookware you are using making noises?

This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot
are not at risk.

Does the cooling fan still operate after it has been
switched off?

This is normal since the electronic unit is being cooled down.

Is the hob making noises (clicking or cracking
sounds)?

This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided.

Does the hob have tears or cracks?

If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass
ceramic hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.

Assembly instructions

Note

The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob may only be built-in in
accordance to the instructions included in this manual:
• above an intermediate shelf
The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob must not be installed
above a dishwasher.
In the case of a failure to observe these instructions,
KÜPPERSBUSCH shall decline any liability and the
approved marks of conformity become invalid!

Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters

• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding

furniture must be temperature resistant (>75°C). If the veneers
and surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can
become deformed.

• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when

installing the hob.

• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob

which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as
minimum clearances in accordance with the installation
diagrams are maintained.

• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to

be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.

• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety

distance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface
of the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant
material. Due to working requirements, however, the distance
should be at least 300 mm.

• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must

be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly
instructions for the cooker hood.

• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.)

must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are
potentially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there
is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.

Ventilation

• The back wall of the bottom cabinet must be open in the area

of the cut-out in order to provide for air circulation.

• The front transverse strip of the unit must be removed so that

an air flow opening of at least 7 mm is created below the
worktop across the full width of the appliance.

• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least

in the area of the worktop cut-out.

• The distance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture

or built-in units must provide for sufficient ventilation of the
induction.

• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation

is taking place in a built-in oven.

Installation

Important

• If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side

panels, drawers, etc.), then an intermediate shelf must be
inserted at a minimum distance of 20 mm in order to prevent
accidental contact with the underside of the cooking surface.
The intermediate shelf may only be removed by tools.

• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects

which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure
to heat are placed directly next to or above the hob.

Sealing of the hob

Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with
the hob.

• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the

worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into
contact with any electrical appliances.

• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a

ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to
be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made
with plastic sealing materials (putty).

•

The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with
silicone sealant!

This would make it impossible to remove the

hob at a later date without damaging it.

Working surface cut-out

Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw
blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be
sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated.
The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any
distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel.
Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.
The glass ceramic hob is fastened with clips or with brackets.

Assembly instructions

Clips

• Drive the clips into the worktop cut-out at

the intervals indicated. It is not necessary
to adjust the height due to the horizontal
stop.

• Important! The horizontal drive of the clips

must be flush with the worktop (avoid the
risk of fractures)

• Position the hob according to the

illustration on the left side (a), align it (b)
and insert the clips (c).

• Screws may be used to fasten the clips.

Important!
There is a risk of breakage if the hob is
canted or subjected to stress during
installation!

Bracket

• Insert the hob and align it.
• From the bottom, insert the brackets with

screws in the holes provided for fastening
the brackets, align the brackets and screw
them tight.

• Tighten the screws with a hand screw

driver only; do not use a battery-operated
screw driver.

• In the case of thin worktops make sure

that the brackets are correctly positioned.
A metric screw must be used on the
bracket to balance it.

Assembly instructions

Electrical connection

• The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified

electrician who is authorised to carry out such work!

• Statutory regulations and the connection specifications issued

by the local power supply company must be strictly observed.

• When connecting the appliance it must be ensured that there

is a device which makes it possible to disconnect it from the
mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3
mm. Line-protecting switches, fuses or contactors are suitable
cut-out devices. When connecting and repairing the appliance
disconnect it from the electricity supply with one of these
devices.

• The earth wire must be sufficiently long so that if the strain

relief fails, the live wires of the connecting cable are subjected
to tension before the earth wire.

• Any superfluous cable must be removed from the installation

area beneath the appliance.

• Make sure that the local mains voltage is the same as the

voltage on the rating label.

• The induction hob has been fitted with a temperature-resistant

connection cable in the factory.

• The connection cable must be at least H05 RR-F.
• If the excess cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be

replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer service of the
manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.

• Full protection against accidental contact must be ensured on

installation.

• Attention: Incorrect connection may result in the power

electronics unit being destroyed.
