… Safety precautions
7
Use
䡲
When using the cooking zone for the first few times, an unpleasant smell may be
given off. This is normal for brand new appliances. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated.
䡲
If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer Services.
䡲
If the appliance is not operating properly or if cracks caused by an extreme me-
chanical impact appear on the surface, disconnect the appliance from the mains
immediately.
䡲
If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services.
䡲
If any electronic components fail, it may not be possible to switch the appliance
off. Remove the fuse or switch the circuit breaker off.
䡲
Ensure the mains cables of other electrical appliances do not touch the hot cooking
zones or cookware as the electrical cable insulation could get damaged.
Caution: Burns/Fire hazard!
䡲
Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
䡲
Ensure objects made of metal or with metallic parts, e.g. cutlery, aluminium foil,
wrapping paper, do not come into contact with the surface of the appliance.
䡲
The surface will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and will cool down
only slowly to room temperature. Please allow sufficient time for the appliance to
cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
䡲
If smoke or fire comes out of the appliance when in use, remove the fuse or switch
the circuit breaker off.
䡲
Do not leave the appliance unattended when deep frying. Overheated fat and oil
can easily catch fire! Never try to extinguish burning oil or fat with water (danger
of explosion!). Smother the flames with a damp cloth and keep all doors and win-
dows closed.
䡲
Keep pets away from the appliance.
