1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk to life
▪
Packaging materials, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪
In case of overheating, switch the hotplate off and allow it to cool down
completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Under no circumstances use cold
water to cool it down quickly.
▪
Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪
Do not put hot cookware on the hob frame in order not to damage the silic-
one joints.
▪
Do not cut or prepare food on the surface and avoid impact with hard ob-
jects. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
▪
Take particular care that sugary foods or juices do not get onto the hot
cooking zones as it can damage them. If sugary foods or juices do get on
to the hot cooking zones clean away immediately (while still hot) with a
scraper.
▪
Pots with pure copper or aluminium bases should not be used for cooking
as they can leave behind traces that can be difficult to clean. If the traces
are not removed immediately after cooking with a suitable cleaning agent,
they can be permanently burned on and therefore permanently ruin the
visual appearance of the appliance.
▪
Sliding pans and cookware across the glass ceramic causes scratches.
This can be largely prevented by lifting pans and cookware up and then pla-
cing them down in position.
▪
The hob is designed to be used – signs of use, such as scratches or the
wear and tear from pans and cookware, are normal. The more intensively it
is used, the greater the signs of use; however, the appliance remains in per-
fect working order and therefore does not give a right of complaint. Safety is
guaranteed at all times.
▪
There is no such thing as completely scratch-proof glass; scratches can
even develop on sapphire glass, which is used in watches. The glass
ceramic used is of the best quality available on the market.
