- If spraying aerosols, slightly flammable liquids or combustible
materials, these can ignite. For this reason do not store slightly
flammable objects in the drawers directly under the hob. The plate
drawer, if present, must be made of heat-resistant material.
- Do not heat empty pots or pans.
- When covering the hob, there is a danger that the cover material will
ignite, shatter or melt if the ignition is switched on inadvertently or
the residual heat is removed. Do not cover the hob, for example with
cover plates, a cloth or protective film.
- If an electrical appliance is used in the immediate vicinity of the hob,
e.g. a blender, make sure that the power supply cable does not
come into contact with the hob. The insulation of the power cord may
be damaged.
- If the hob has been recessed behind the door of a piece of furniture,
put it into operation only with the unit door open.Close the unit door
only when the residual heat indicator lights are off.
- The appliance in operation is very hot and also remains hot for some
time after it has been switched off. The risk of burns no longer exists
only when the residual heat indicators are off.
- If the hob is very hot, it is possible to burn yourself. We recommend
protecting your hands from the heat by using suitable handles or pot
holders. Use only dry gloves or pot holders. Wet or damp fabrics
conduct heat better and can cause scalding.
- If the hob is switched on or has been inadvertently switched on, or
in the event of residual heat, there is a risk that metal objects may
overheat (danger of burns).
Other types of materials could melt or ignite.
Damp lids could stick to the hob due to the suction effect.
Do not use the appliance as a support surface.
Switch off the cooking zones after use.
- Pots from which liquids evaporate directly can damage the glass
ceramic surface. Always stay in the vicinity of the appliance when it
is operating.
- Pots and pans with a rough base could scratch the glass ceramic
hob. Use only pots and pans with a smooth base.
