2 Safety Instructions and Warnings
2.1 For connection and operation
‡
The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
‡
Connecting the appliances to the mains and repairing and servicing the appliances may only be carried out
by a qualified electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For your own safety, do not allow
anyone other than a qualified service technician to install service or repair the product.
‡
If the mains supply cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the
Customer Service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
‡
The appliance may not be operated with an external timer or an external tele control system.
2.2 General informations about the hob
‡
Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as the high power setting results in extremely fast
reactions.
‡
When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the cooking zones. Avoid boiling the pots dry as there
is a risk of the pots overheating!
‡
Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been switched on.
‡
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.
‡
It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off with the respective minus key and not just with
the pan recognition device.
‡
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! Switch the appliance off and then carefully cover the
flame, for example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.
‡
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.
‡
There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any
other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer
Service.
‡
If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control immediately disconnect your appliance
and call Customer Service.
‡
Take care when working with home appliances! Connection cables must not come into contact with hot
cooking zones.
‡
Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
‡
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.
‡
Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put down on the induction hob since they may
become hot. Risk of burning!
‡
Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
‡
Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk
of burns! Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not affected.
‡
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!
‡
If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the OFF key.
