WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements.

Do not operate the appliance by means of an external
timer or separate remote-control system.

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil
can be dangerous and may result in fire.
•
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire
blanket.
•
CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A
short term cooking process has to be supervised
continuously.

WARNING: Danger of fire: Do not store items on the
cooking surfaces.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get
hot.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, an authorized Service or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Where the appliance is directly connected to the power
supply, an all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap is
required. Complete disconnection in compliance with the
conditions specified in overvoltage category III must be
guaranteed. The earth cable is excluded from this.

When you route the mains cable, make sure that the cable
doesn't come into direct contact (for example using
insulating sleeving) with parts that can reach temperatures
of more than 50°C above room temperature.
