WARNING
If the frying sensor is not working properly,
overheating may result causing smoke and damage to
the pan.
WHEN COOKING WITH THE FRYING SENSOR
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
‒ Use a system pan only
‒ Always put the pan in the centre of the heating
element
‒ Do not place a lid on the pan
‒ Never leave frying fat unattended
Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have
spilled around the control panel. Always turn off the
cooktop and dry the control panel.
Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if
control elements are not used properly.
If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no
longer be operated, it may turn itself on
unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit
breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales
service.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the
cooktop. Never set down metallic objects, such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop.
WARNING
Risk of burns
The pan detection may potentially fail to turn off the
cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed
upon the cooktop. After each use, turn off the cooktop
using the main switch.
If the display does not work when a cooking area is
heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the
fuse box. Contact an authorized servicer.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
