Safety instructions
Connection and operation
■
Fitting a mains socket, repairing and servicing the appliance are jobs that
should be left to a qualified electrician according to valid safety regulations.
For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service
technician to install, service or repair this appliance.
■
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during use.
Therefore be careful: Always make sure that children are kept well away!
For the hob
■
Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Food involving the use
of fats and oils, e.g. chips, may only be cooked under supervision. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on, turn off the
cooking zone and remove the pan.
■
If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass ceramic hob,
immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect fuse immediately and call
the Customer service.
■
If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control
immediately disconnect your appliance and call the Customer service.
■
Take care when working with attachments! The connecting cable must not
contact the hot cooking zones.
■
The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
■
Do not place combustible or ignitable objects on the cooking area which
might be dangerous if the appliance is switched on unintentionally.
■
Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly
underneath the hob.
■
Do not switch the cooking zones on if not using them for cooking. Never
use the appliance to heat a room! This would result in improper operating
conditions.
■
Do not put kitchen 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 the hot cooking zone. Remove sugar immediately from the
hob when it is still hot with a scraper to avoid damage
■
Avoid repeated burning of food residues and boiling over.
■
Lime deposits are harmful to the cooking zone.
■
If there are any pets in the apartment which could come near the hob,
activate the childproof lock.
■
Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar
appliance!
Before using the appliance for
the first time
Remove packaging and non-essential components. Before preparing the first
meals clean the glass ceramic hob by means of a moist cloth and a bit
washing-up liquid.
The hob is resistant against thermal shocks (coldness and heat) and also very
robust.
■
Always ensure that no hard objects are dropped onto the cooking surface.
Pointed objects falling onto your hob might break it.
■
Please observe the cleaning and servicing instructions. Be especially careful
to keep the sensor keys clean since soiling could be mistaken for finger
contact by the appliance. Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.) onto
the sensor keys! If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to
activate the emergency switch.
■
When switching on the cooking zones a short buzzing noise may be heard
from the heating. This is design-specific and has no influence on quality
and operation.
■
Hot pots and pans should not cover the lines outlining the sensors. In this
case the appliance may automatically shut off.
Using the cooking zones
Please note the safety instructions!
Subsequent to initial connection and after a power failure “
CAL
” will appear
briefly in the LED displays. Rotating, circling symbols will then be indicated.
This means that the sensors have been checked automatically and that the
touch sensitivity has also been newly set.
Confirm this indication by touching the „off“ sensor. These symbols will be
switched off immediately if there are no objects on the sensors. Otherwise
remove any objects and disconnect the cooking zone briefly from the mains
(fuse) once again.
Important!
No objects must be lying on top of the sensors when adjusting the sensor’s
sensitivity.
Using the wok cooking zone
Cooking in the glass ceramic wok cavity
■
When cooking food in the wok cavity never use tools which could scratch
the glass ceramic surface.
■
The wok cavity should not be used for very sugary foodstuffs. High
temperatures cause the sugar to melt into the glass ceramic surface and
can damage it permanently. When cooking such foodstuffs it is essential
that the wok pan supplied be used.
The wok hob transmits heat directly to the food. Cooking directly in the wok
cavity on the glass ceramic surface enables a highly economical use of
cooking fats. Gentle, low-fat cooking preserves vital vitamins and minerals.
– Pre-heat the wok cavity for 5-7 minutes with the lid (of the wok pan) so
that the heat is distributed better and more evenly.
– Always pre-heat with the setting that will subsequently be used for cooking.
