Safety features
• The appliance has a contact switch
inside which automatically switches
off the heat when the pan is removed
and switches it back on when the pan
is inserted again. The appliance does
not heat up unless the pan has been
inserted.
• The appliance is protected from
overheating. It automatically switches
off when the built-in temperature
monitor malfunctions. The appliance
will no longer work. Disconnect the
mains plug, leave the appliance to
cool down and contact the customer
care service or a specialist workshop
to have the appliance repaired.
• The appliance is equipped with
a Cool-Touch surface, meaning that
its outside parts do not become hot
when in use.
About “acrylamide”
• Acrylamide is produced during
processes involving intense heat
(baking, frying, deep-frying, grilling,
toasting etc.), particularly in foods
containing starch.
At the present time, it is not possible
to say conclusively in what form
acrylamide is harmful to the human
organism.
To be on the safe side you should
not cook your food for too long,
as intense browning may also lead
to an increased risk.
A rule of thumb is: “Golden, not
charred”. As research is set to
continue beyond the issuing of these
operating instructions, keep an
eye on this subject in the press.
It is also well documented on the
Internet.
