Untended cooking of food on
a heating surface in the presence
of grease or oil may be dangerous
and could start a fire.
Never try to extinguish a fire with
water. Turn off the appliance. The
flame may be covered with a lid or
fire blanket.
Fire hazard: never store objects on
the cooking appliance.
If the cooktop is cracked, turn off
the appliance to avoid electrical
shock.
Metal objects such as knives,
forks, spoons, and lids should not
be set on the cooktop as they may
heat up.
If the power cable is damaged, it
should be replaced by the manu-
facturer, the After-Sales Service
Department, or a qualified profes-
sional to avoid any risk.
Avoid striking the glass-ceramic
cooktop with cookware:
it is very resistant but not unbrea-
kable.
Do not place any hot lids flat on
your hob. The suction effect this
might cause could damage the
glass-ceramic surface. Avoid drag-
ging cookware across the cooktop
as this may eventually cause its
decorative finish to wear off.
Do not place cookware on the hob
frame or trim (depending on
model).
Avoid using pans with rough or
bumpy bottoms which can house
matter capable of staining or scrat-
ching your hob.
Do not store cleaning supplies or
flammable substances in the cabi-
net underneath your hob.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean
your hob.
Do not heat an unopened tin as
this might cause it to explode.
This precaution applies to all coo-
king modes.
Never use aluminium foil when
cooking.Never place items wrap-
ped in aluminium foil or packaged
in aluminium trays on your hob.
The aluminium would melt and per-
manently damage your appliance.
The warranty does not cover such
defects neither resulting in
appliance malfunction nor making
it unsuitable for use.
Electrical hazard
Make sure that the power cables
of any electrical appliances plug-
ged in near the hob are not in
contact with the cooking zones.
If a crack appears on the surface
of the glass, disconnect your ap-
pliance immediately to avoid an
electrical shock.
To do this, remove the fuses or
use the circuit breaker.
Do not use your hob until you
have replaced the glass cooktop.
