Risks when handling the
appliance
WARNING
Fire hazard!
■
Unattended cooking on a hob with
fat or oil can be dangerous and may
result in fi re. NEVER try to extinguish
a fi re with water, but switch off the
appliance and the cover fl ame e. g.
with a lid or a fi re blanket.
■
If you are preparing food with alco-
hol, do not leave the cooker unat-
tended! Food may ignite own its own.
■
In the event of a fi re, immediately
switch off the appliance and switch
off the automatic circuit breakers
and/or unscrew the fuses. To extin-
guish the fi re, use a suitable fi re extin-
guisher labelled “F” or a fi re blanket.
■
Once the fi re has been extinguished,
have the appliance checked by our
service center (see “Service” on
page EN-28).
■
Danger of fi re: do not store items on
the cooking surfaces.
■
Use only hob guards designed by the
manufacturer of the cooking appli-
ance or indicated by the manufactur-
er of the appliance in the instructions
for use as suitable or hob guards in-
corporated in the appliance. The use
of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
■
Do not cover the appliance with blan-
kets, cloths or similar, as these objects
may become hot and catch fi re.
■
If the cooling fan is defective, the ap-
pliance can quickly overheat, causing
even more damage to the appliance
and setting fi re to any other near-
by fl ammable objects. If this occurs,
switch the appliance off immediate-
ly!
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
During use the appliance becomes hot.
The cooking areas get very hot during
operation.
■
The cooking process has to be super-
vised. A short term cooking process
has to be supervised continuously.
Risk of burns!
During use the appliance becomes hot.
The cooking areas get very hot during
operation and will remain hot after
they are switched off; this is shown by
the residual heat indicator.
■
Caution in the event of a power cut:
residual heat may not be indicated.
■
Care should be taken to avoid touch-
ing heating elements. Always protect
hands with oven gloves or pot holders
when working on the hot appliance.
Only use dry oven gloves or pothold-
ers. Wet textiles are better heat con-
ductors and can cause steam burns.
■
After use, switch off the hob element
by its control and do not rely on the
pan detector.
■
Always switch off the cooking areas
yourself if you wish to stop a cooking
process. Cancelling the cooking time
limit does not end the cooking pro-
cess itself.
■
Do not leave the appliance unattend-
ed during use.
■
Keep children less than 8 years of age
away from the appliance unless they
are under constant supervision.
