IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is still
hot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt
or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the burners
off after use!
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not
be placed on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Use pot holders. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down before
cleaning with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.
Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can
scratch the ceramic burner. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the
ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage to the ceramic cooktop in
certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Hot pans on the display can cause damage to the electronics
underneath. Do not place hot pans on the area around the display.
Cookware made from aluminum or with an aluminum base can
cause shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed with
ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner (see “Cleaning and care
induction cooktop”, “Cleaning the ceramic surface”).
