IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
1. Use the appliance exclusively for its intended purposes. Observe the procedures
described in these operating instructions.
2.
Risk of electric shock:
1)
Ensure that the power cable can never become wet or damp during operation. Lay the
cable such that it cannot be pinched or otherwise damaged.
2)
Should the cable or the electric plug become damaged, arrange for it to be replaced
by Customer Services before you continue to use the appliance.
3) Always remove the plug from the mains power socket after use.
4)
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
5) Simply switching off the appliance is not sufficient, because the appliance
continues to receive power for as long as the plug is connected to the mains
power socket.
6) Protect the cooking plate from damages: Do not burden it irregularly and do not
allow objects to fall onto it. The appliance may not be taken into use if either the
cooking plate or the housing is damaged. In this case, immediately remove the
plug from the mains power socket and arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
7) To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and / or cables to be replaced at once
by qualified technicians or Customer Services Department.
8) If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
3. Do not touch the area on which hot cookware has just been standing. Directly
after cooking, this area could be very hot.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with
restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in
experience and / or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
5. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
6. Overheated foodstuffs could begin to burn! Never let the appliance be in use
without supervision.
7. Additionally, never position the appliance below inflammable objects, especially
not below curtains or drapes.
8. NEVER heat up a securely closed container. Through heat expansion it could
quickly cause an explosion.
9. NEVER heat up an empty container. This would very quickly overheat–presenting
both the risk of fire and of serious damage to the cooking area.
10. Do not place any metallic objects on the cooking area, such as kitchen utensils or
items of cutlery. They can become very hot in the energy area.
