Risk of electric shock
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may 
only be carried out by one of our trained after-
sales engineers. If the appliance is faulty, 
unplug the mains plug or switch off the fuse in 
the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Appliance does not heat up. Left illu-
minated ring flashing, right illumi-
nated ring lit. 

Drain valve is open.

Close the drain valve after draining off the cook-
ing liquid. The appliance does not warm up when 
the drain valve is open. If leftovers are blocking 
the drain valve, open it again. Then carefully use a 
suitable object such as the handle of a wooden 
spoon to remove the leftovers.

Appliance does not heat up. Right-
hand illuminated ring flashes fast, 
left illuminated ring is off.

Overheating protection: cooking 
basin is empty or has been boiled 
empty.

Cooking liquid under the minimum 
mark.

Turn off the appliance. Top up cooking liquid up 
to at least the minimum mark. Allow the appliance 
to cool down.

Overheating protection: appliance 
has been operated for too long in 
the steam cooking setting without 
the glass cover.

Turn off the appliance and let it completely cool 
down. Fit the glass cover in the steam cooking 
setting.

Overheating protection: very hot 
water has been poured into the 
cooking basin.

Turn off the appliance and let it completely cool 
down. Fill the cooking basin with cold water.

Overheating protection: the cook-
ing basin is clogged with scale. On 
the base of the cooking basin, you 
can see the shape of the heating 
coil as a white coating.

Turn off the appliance and let it completely cool 
down. Wipe out the basin with a water and vine-
gar mixture or a descaling agent that is not harm-
ful to foodstuffs. Rinse thoroughly with clear 
water.

Safety shut-off: appliance has not 
been operated in the past four 
hours. 

Turn the right control knob to 0 and then switch 
on again, if necessary.

Power outage: after a power out-
age, the appliance stays switched 
off for safety reasons.

Turn the right control knob to 0 and then switch 
on again, if necessary.

Appliance is not working. Both illu-
minated rings flash alternately fast.

Installation error

Check correct fitting of the connecting cable to 
the control panel.

The corners of the appliance curve 
upwards slightly during operation.

The heat causes the cooktop's 
metal to expand.

This is normal. No curving is visible after cooling 
down.
