hob such as a residual heat indicator and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a
number of precautions you should take.

permanent connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.

• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.

preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the fi rst time you will notice a “new smell”. This is normal.
If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will soon disappear.

short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a high setting.

of the drawer.
