Note on use
▪ Tests have shown that under normal cir-
cumstances there is no risk to cardiac
pacemaker users. If, as the user of a
cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing aid or
another type of implant), you would like
to be reassured that using the appli-
ance does not pose a risk, you are ad-
vised to consult a competent medical
authority.
Caution: Burns hazard
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish burn-
ing oil or fat with water. Danger of ex-
plosion! Smother the flames with a fire
blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
Caution: Risk of injury
▪ Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life
▪ Packaging material, e.g. plastic film and
polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren and animals. Danger of suffoca-
tion! Keep packaging material away
from children and animals.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ In case of overheating, switch the hot-
plate off and allow it to cool down com-
pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Un-
der 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 sur-
face 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 cook-
ing zones as this can damage the sur-
face. 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 placing
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 perfect work-
ing 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.
