Safety instructions
for 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 switch the cooking zone on if not using it 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 zone. 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.
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.
Using the cooking zone
Please note the safety instructions!
Subsequent to initial connection and in the event of a power failure, the
controls will be tested automatically. When the automatic test is being
performed, a Minus symbol lights up on the control. This symbol extinguishes
again once the test has been completed.
Important:
No objects must be lying on top of the sensors when adjusting the sensor’s
sensitivity.
Using the Multi-Cooker cooking zone
This cooking zone transmits heat directly to the food. Cooking directly on the
glass ceramic surface enables a highly economical use of cooking fats. This
gentle and low fat cooking method preserves vital vitamins and minerals, no
matter whether food is boiled, roasted, steamed, barbecued, braised or
poached. You can, of course, also use corresponding pots and pans on the
cooking zone.
Foods that contain large amounts of sugar should not be prepared directly on
the cooking zone. High temperatures cause the sugar to melt into the glass
ceramic surface and can damage it permanently.
Any sugar that has accidentally come into contact with the cooking zone must
be immediately removed from the hot zone with a scraper.
Turning the hob on
Touch the On/Off sensor.
The cooking level indicator of the
cooking zone displays a “0”.
The appliance is in operation
(stand-by mode).
The standby mode is automatically turned off again if the cooking zone is not
activated within 10 seconds.
