3 Safety Instructions and Warnings
3.1 For connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in
accordance 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
electrician 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 must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the Customer Service of the
manufacturer or by another qualified person
to avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with
an external timer or an external telecontrol
system.
3.2 General information about the hob
• Never allow the induction hob to operate
unattended, as the high power setting
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
cooking zones which have been switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans as
simmering water may dry up unnoticed,
resulting 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 recognition
device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously
ignite. Always supervise the preparation
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.
Immediately 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
Customer Service.
• Take care when working with home
appliances! Connection 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 particular
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 underneath
the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may
become hot in the immediate vicinity of the
