Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the
relevant safety regulations.
• Fitting a mains socket, repairing and servicing the appliance
are jobs that should be carried out by a qualified electrician
according to valid safety regulations. For your own safety, do
not allow anyone other than a qualified service technician to
install, service or repair this appliance.
For the hob
• Owing to the very fast reaction at the high power setting
(power max.), do not use the induction hob without
supervision!
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the
cooking zones. Avoiding 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 for the simmering water
may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to
the hob, in the event of which no liability will be assumed.
• It is essential that you switch off a cooking zone after using it
with the respective minus button and not just with the pan
recognition device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always
prepare meals with fats and oils under supervision. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.
• The glass ceramic hob is extremely robust. 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 the
Customer service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! The
connecting cable must not contact the hot cooking zones.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put kitchen 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 the hot cooking
zone. 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, volatile 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, danger 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 buttons 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 button.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, otherwise the
appliance switches itself off automatically. In this case the
oven automatically shuts off.
• If there are any pets in the apartment which could come near
the hob, activate the childproof lock.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation
is taking place in a built-in oven.
For persons
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (includ-
ing children) with physical, mental or sensory impairments or
who by persons (including children) who lack the required
experience or know-how, unless such persons are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety or have been given
instructions on how to use the appliance by a person responsi-
ble for their safety.
Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• Attention!
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot

induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is 20-
50 kHz).
