For connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accord-
ance with the relevant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliances to the mains
and repairing and servicing the appliances
may only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trician according to currently-valid safety
regulations. For your own safety, do not
allow anyone other than a qualified service
technician to install, service or repair the
product.
• If the mains supply cable of this appliance
is damaged, it has to be replaced by the
manufacturer, the Customer Service of the
manufacturer or by another qualified per-
son to avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with
an external timer or an external telecontrol
system.
For the hob
• Never allow the induction hob to oper-
ate unattended, as the high power set-
ting results in extremely fast reactions.
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up
speed of the cooking zones. Avoid boiling
the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots
overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cook-
ing zones which have been switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans as
simmering water may dry up unnoticed, re-
sulting in damage to the pot and to the hob
for which no liability will be assumed.
• It is essential that after using a cooking
zone you switch it off with the respective
minus key and not just with the pan recog-
nition device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontane-
ously ignite. Always supervise the prepa-
ration of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water!
Switch the appliance off and then carefully
cover the flame, for example with a lid or
an extinguisher blanket.
• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is
extremely robust. You should, however,
avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto
your hob might break it.
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass
ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks,
tears or damage of any other kind. Imme-
diately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
the fuse immediately and call Customer
Service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a
defect in the sensor control immediately
disconnect your appliance and call Cus-
tomer Service.
• Take care when working with home appli-
ances! Connecting cables must not come
into contact with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used
as a storage area.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto
the cooking zones. Keep everything which
could melt, such as plastics, foil and in par-
ticular sugar and sugary foods away from
hot cooking zones. Use a special glass
scraper to immediately remove any sugar
from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in
order to avoid damaging the hob.
• Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.)
must never be put down on the induction
hob since they may become hot. Risk of
burning!
• Do not place combustible, inflammable or
heat deformable objects directly under-
neath the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may be-
come hot in the immediate vicinity of the
induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or
silver rings) are not affected.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up
unopened tins of food or packaging made
of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor keys clean since the appli-
ance may consider dirt to be finger contact.
Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.)
onto the sensor keys!
• If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we
advise you to activate the OFF key.
• Hot pans and pots should not cover resp.
be moved to close to the sensor keys,
since this will cause the appliance to switch
off automatically.
