Safety Instructions and Warnings

For connection and operation

Safety Instructions and Warnings
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with
the relevant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliances to the mains and repai-
ring and servicing the appliances may only be car-
ried 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 the
product.
• If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it
has to be replaced by the manufacturer, the Custo-
mer Service of the manufacturer or by another qua-
lified person to avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with an exter-
nal timer or an external telecontrol system.

General information on the hob

• Never allow the induction hob to operate unat-
tended, as the high power setting results in
extremely fast reactions.
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed
of the cooking zones. Avoid 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 simme-
ring water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in
damage to the pot and to the hob for which no liabi-
lity 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! Switch the appliance off and then carefully
cover the flame, for example with a lid or an extin-
guisher blanket.
• 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.
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass cera-
mic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or
damage of any other kind. 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.
• Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
• 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. Cau-
tion! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings)
are not affected.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened
tins of food or packaging made of material com-
pounds. 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 automati-
cally.
