Causes of damage
and functional impairment
• Make sure that all packaging and transport protection
material has been removed before using the appliance
to avoid damage during operation, e.g. due to burning
or melting.
• When the hob is in use, heat and moisture are generat-
ed in its vicinity, which can cause long-term damage to
surfaces.
Make sure that the room is well ventilated.
Use the facilities provided for this or install an extraction
system (e.g. an extractor bonnet) if necessary.
Do not install the hob behind a door or furniture front.
• Do not install the hob in an environment with higher
temperatures, near a gas cooker or a paraffin cooker.
• Ensure that there is sufficient distance between the
cookware and the controls and the edge of the hob to
avoid heat damage caused by this.
• Do not heat the cookware without any contents
and make sure that it does not boil empty.
The bottom of the cookware may be deformed
and the hob surface may be damaged by the heat trans-
fer.
• Do not pour cold liquids onto the hob when the surface
is hot. The resulting thermal shock can damage the
appliance.
