2.1 Safety instructions
2.1.1 General information on the hob
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been switched on. Avoid boiling the
pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in
damage to the pot and to the hob for which no liability will be assumed.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always supervise the preparation of food with
fats and oils. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the pan and switch off the
cooking zone.
• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You should, however, avoid dropping hard
objects onto the glass ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might break it.
• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting cables must not come into contact with
hot cooking zones.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones. Keep everything which could melt, such
as plastics, foil and in particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking zones. Use a special
glass scraper to immediately remove any sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to
avoid damaging the hob.
• Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food or packaging made of material
compounds. The power supply may cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put
anything (pans, tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys!
• Avoid repeated burning of contaminations.
2.1.2 Concerning persons
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with physical, mental or
sensory impairments or by persons (including children) who lack the required experience or know-
how, unless such persons are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have been given
instructions on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Attention! The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use. Keep small
children away at all times.
