Safety
■
Always switch off the cooking zones/
areas yourself if you wish to stop a
cooking process. Cancelling the cook-
ing time limit does not end the cook-
ing process itself.
■
Do not leave the appliance unattend-
ed during use.
■
Children aged 8 years or younger
must be kept away from the device,
unless they are under constant super-
vision.
■
Metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed
on the hob surface since they can get
hot.
■
Never sit on the appliance.
■
Allow the appliance to cool complete-
ly before cleaning.
Exception: Remove sugary or starchy
contaminants, plastic or aluminium
foil from the hot glass ceramic imme-
diately using a standard sharp scrap-
er. While doing so protect hands from
burns with oven gloves or pot holders.

ic fi eld that could disrupt medical im-
plants.

remove any dirt that may cause
scratches.
