COOK I-flex
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If metallic objects such as pots, pans and cutlery come into contact with one another, they will
become hot and there is a risk of short circuits. The contact surfaces may weld together and
cause burns. Do not place pots and pan handles within the hob.
Handles can become very hot depending on the pot design. The unit top will also still be hot af-
ter use. Always use protective items such as heat-resistant protective gloves and potholders.
Do not allow hard and/or pointed objects to drop onto the glass ceramic as this poses a risk of
breakage.
Ensure that no meltable material, such as food containing sugar, plastics, aluminium foil or ena-
mel, comes into contact with the glass ceramic cooking zone or a pot's lower surface. Remove
such material immediately when hot with a utensil such as a scraper before it becomes firmly
attached to the glass ceramic cooking zone.
You must install a splash guard device (deflector plate) with a minimum height of 350 mm if you
need to boil water on one cooking zone and heat fats or oils on the adjacent one.
If water comes into contact with hot fat, this may cause a fat explosion and a fat fire in a worst
case scenario, resulting in extremely serious injuries and damage to property.
You may cause scratches if you move cooking pots and pans with a rough base or defective
enamel pots, or there are grains of sand between the pot base and the glass ceramic cooking
zone. These scratches can lead to cracks in the surface in the worst case.
