For persons
• These appliances may be used by children
aged 8 years and over and by persons with
physical, sensory or mental impairments
or by persons who lack experience and/or
know-how, provided they are supervised
or have been instructed in the safe used
of the appliance and have understood the
risks relating to the appliance. Children
may not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and maintenance by the user may only
be carried out by children when they are
supervised.
• The surfaces of the heating and cooking
zones become hot during use. Keep small
children away at all times.
• Only hob protective grids and hob covers
produced by the hob manufacturer or the
manufacturers of the hob protective grids
and hob covers authorised by the manu-
facturer in the instructions for use may be
used. The use of unsuitable hob protective
grids and hob covers may result in acci-
dents.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or im-
planted insulin pumps must make sure that
their implants are not affected by the induc-
tion hob (the frequency range of the induc-
tion hob is 20-50 kHz).
• Place the pan as close to the centre of the
cooking zone as possible.
• Whenever possible, use the back cooking
zones for large pans so that the sensor
keys are not heated up too much (touch
control overheating; error message E2,
touch control cut off).
• Activate the childproof lock if there are any
pets in the home which could make contact
with the hob.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a
steam cleaner or similar appliance!
• Make sure there are no items (e.g. cleaning
cloths) right next to the hob extractor. They
could be sucked in by the air current. Liq-
uids and small items must always be kept
away from the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance without filter.
• Filter with too much fat deposits causes fire
hazard!
• Constant supervision is essential when
deep-frying; flambéing is not permitted.
• A sufficient supply of inlet air must be pro-
vided when operating wood, coal, gas or oil
heaters requiring a chimney.
• The permissible negative pressure which
results from the hood in the location of the
heaters requiring a chimney may not ex-
ceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) as this results in a
risk of poisoning.
• During cooking, additional moisture is
released into the room in the form of the
vapours.
• In recirculation mode, only a small amount
of the moisture is removed from the vapour.
It is therefore always necessary to ensure
a sufficient supply of fresh air, e.g. through
an open window or by the use of a ventila-
tion system.
• Always ensure a normal and comfortable
room climate (45 - 60% humidity).
• After each use in circulation mode, switch
the hob fan on for approx. 20 minutes at a
low setting or activate the run-on ventilation
function.
