WARNING:
The application must be earthed!
The appliance may only be connected and repaired by a qualified
electrician according to valid safety regulations. Work carried out incor-

for the cooking surface
Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Food involving the
use of fats and oils, e.g. chipped potatoes, may only be cooked under
supervision. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid
on, turn off the cooking zone and remove the pan from the hot hob.
If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass ceramic
cooking area, do not use your cooker. Disconnect the fuse.
Connection leads of electrical appliances may not be placed on the hot
glass ceramic cooking area.
The glass-ceramic cooking area should not be used as a storage area.
Do not use the cooking zones without cookware.
Never place any aluminium foil or plastics on the cooking area. All ob-
jects that melt, like plastics or foil and especially sugar and food with a
high sugar content are to be kept away from the hot cooking zone. In or-
der to avoid damaging, sugar, while still hot, should immediately be scra-
ped off the cooking area with a scraper.
Avoid repeated burning of stains and boiling over.
Chalk deposits may damage the cooking area.
Please read through the cleaning and care instructions.
Before first use
Remove excess materials and packaging. Before preparing food for the first
time, clean the glass ceramic cooking area with a damp cloth and a little
detergent.
The cooking area is insensitive to temperatures shocks (cold and hot) and
also extremely robust.
Avoid dropping sharp objects onto the cooking area.
Pointed objects falling onto your cooking area might break it.
When switching on the cooking zones you might hear a buzzing noise
coming from the heating. This is due to technical reasons and does not
influence quality or functioning of your cooking area.
Using the glass ceramic cooking area
Please note the safety instructions!
Switching the cooking zones on and off
Each cooking zone has its own control. Nine cooking settings are marked
beneath the cooking zone controls, but you can also choose finer intermedia-
te settings. As far as possible, start cooking at the highest setting and conti-
nue at a smaller setting.
