OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Danger!
Risk of an electric shock
Cracks in the glass ceramic cooking surface pose a hazard, which can cause an electric shock.
Disconnect unit completely from the power supply (mains supply) the moment a crack ap-
pears on the glass ceramic cooking surface.
Pull out the mains plug.
Ensure that the unit can no longer be started up.
Notify a centre authorised to carry out repairs.
Do not slide the pots and pans over the glass ceramic cooking zone and do not leave them on
the surrounding silicone seal.
Do not place hot cooking pots and pans on stainless-steel table tops or stainless-steel work sur-
faces. These may warp and cause permanent damage.
Switch off heating zones if no pots and pans are placed on them. This prevents accidental
heating if an empty pot or pan is placed on top. In such a case, the pots, pans and/or the glass-
ceramic cooking zone could become damaged.
If the pot or pan overheats too much, it may become irreparably damaged. The pot or pan base
can become detached from its main body. The heat is no longer transferred quickly enough to
the pot or pan base and, consequently, to the food. The induction generator detects overheating
and reduces the power input.
Do not use induction adapter plates. These may cause the unit to overheat, even if pans are
placed on top, causing irreparable damage to the glass ceramic cooking zone and the induction
unit. The safety circuit (overheating protection) may be impaired or no longer function if pots and
pans are empty. The advantages of induction technology are no longer given if induction adapter
plates are used.
After use, switch off the hot plate used at the corresponding rotary knob. Do not rely on pot de-
tection under any circumstances.
The in-coming air for cooling must be free of grease and colder than 38 °C.
The ventilation openings on the unit must not be covered under any circumstances. Warm in-
coming air or covered openings will cause the induction hob generators to overheat.
Air baffle, splash guard and filter
The unit will only function correctly if the air baffle, splash guard and all filter elements (filter cas-
settes, ION TEC (optional) and charcoal filter pad) are installed properly.
