Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the rele-
vant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and serv-
icing the appliance 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.
Concerning 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 cook-
ing 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.
• 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! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.
• 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 Cus-
tomer Service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting
cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• 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 immedi-
ate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) will not be
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 appliance 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 acti-
vate the OFF key.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
• If possible, place large pots and pans on the back cooking
zones so that the sensor keys do not get overheated (touch
control overheating; error message ER21).
• Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home
which could make contact with the hob.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation
is taking place in a built-in oven.
Concerning persons
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (includ-
ing children) with physical, mental or sensory impairments or
by persons (including children) who lack the required experi-
ence or know-how, unless such persons are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or have been given instruc-
tions on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• Attention:
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot
during use. Keep small children away at all times.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps
must make sure that their implants are not affected by the
induction hob (the frequency range of the induction hob is
20-50 kHz).
