Safety
Fire hazard!
Unsupervised cooking on the hob with
grease and oil can be dangerous and
can cause fi res.
■
NEVER try to extinguish a fi re with
water, but switch off the appliance
and the cover fl ame e. g. with an lid
or a fi re blanket.
■
Never store objects on the cooking
area.
■
The cooking process must be super-
vised. A short term cooking process
has to be supervised continuously.
■
Only protective hob grilles or hob
covers made by the hob manufac-
turer, approved protective hob grilles
or covers which are listed in the user
manual, or pre-installed protective
hob grilles or hob covers may be used.
The use of unsuitable protective hob
grilles or hob covers may lead to ac-
cidents.
■
Always switch the hob off completely
after cooking.
Risk of injury!
This hob has sharp edges. Improper
handling can result in cut injuries.
■
Wear protective gloves when unpack-
ing and installing the hob.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper use may damage the appli-
ance or cooking utensils.
■
Wipe the glass ceramic surface and
the base of the pots before use to
remove any dirt that may cause
scratches.
■
Do not push heavy pans across the
hob; this may scratch the glass ce-
ramic.
■
If possible, only use metal cookware
on the cooking zone. Glass is a poor
heat conductor. Because of this, ther-
mal stress and breakages may occur
when using glass cookware on the
hob.
■
Do not use any aluminium foil or plas-
tic containers to cook on the cooking
zones as they can melt.
■
Use the hob as a work surface or some-
where to place objects only once the
cooking zone has completely cooled
off. Materials which are sensitive to
heat such as plastic dishes could be-
come damaged if this is the case.
■
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise, these
may cause permanent and irrepara-
ble damage to the hob.
■
Clean and care for the appliance on a
regular basis with a special care prod-
uct containing an impregnating oil
for hobs. Such products can be found
in specialist shops.
■
Do not use any harsh abrasive deter-
gents, scouring agents, abrasive pow-
der or steel sponges; they can scratch
the surface and damage the glass.
