Attention!
A damaged power cord presents a hazard of life by
electric shock. Have appliances, which do not work faultlessly or
which are damaged, immediately and only checked and repaired by
the aftersales service.
• Do not misuse the power cord for unplugging the appliance. Keep
the power cord away from hot surfaces, sharp edges and mechani-
cal forces. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an
electric shock.
• The integrated overheating protection ensures that the cooking
zone can not overheat even if operated continuously. If cracks,
fissures or breakage is caused and if it may be assumed that safe
operation is no longer possible, immediately turn off the appliance
and disconnect the mains plug.
• Do not store any objects on top of the appliance, do not use it as a
worktop and do not transport it when hot.
• Never immerse the appliance in water for cleaning. Make sure no
steam or water can infiltrate the underside.
• Do not store the appliance outside or in wet rooms.
• This electrical appliance complies with the relevant safety stan-
dards. In case of signs of damage to the appliance, the power cord,
the sealing or the glass plate, unplug the appliance immediately.
Repairs may be effected by authorised specialist shops only.
Improper repairs may result in considerable dangers for the user.
• Improper use and non-observance of the instruction manual will
void warranty.
Important notes
• Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i. e. cooking utensils that are made of
ferromagnetic material. Always keep the glass ceramic surface and the pot bottom clean and
dry.
• Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the glass ceramic surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or
other objects made of metal as those might become hot.
• Never use oven sprays or stain-removers for cleaning! Special cleaning agents for the glass
plate are available on the market.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate
against breakage by falling objects.
