knowledge, if they are supervised or have received instructions on
how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting
risks.
▪ Children must not play with the appliance.
▪ Children must not clean or maintain the appliance unless they are
older than 8 years of age and are supervised.
▪ Keep the appliance and its connection cable out of reach of
children under 8 years of age.
▪ The appliance must not be operated via an external timer or remote
control.
▪ The appliance is designed for indoor household use only.
▪ If the appliance's power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly qualified person if
hazards are to be avoided.
▪ If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance and unplug the
power cord to avoid the risk of electric shock.
▪ Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply if it is to
be left unattended, as well as before assembling, disassembling or
cleaning it.
▪ The supply cord should be regularly examined for signs of damage,
and if the cord is damaged, the appliance must not be used.
▪ Do not place any cooking utensils, saucepan lids, knives or other
metal objects on the hob. Such objects can heat up significantly if
the appliance is switched on.
▪ Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic hotplates. The
induction hob itself does not generate any heat during the cooking
process. The temperature of the cookware however, heats up the
hotplate.

Additional safety information
▪ Persons with heightened electro-sensitivity shouldn't be in the immediate area of the appliance
any longer than is necessary.
▪ Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers or medication pumps who are uncertain whether using the
appliance is harmless for them, should speak with their doctor.
▪ The appliance must not be operated on a metal base, as this can heat up considerably.
▪ To ensure proper ventilation of the appliance, make sure that the appliance is at least 10 cm away
from other objects or walls.
▪ The cool air is drawn in by the underside of the appliance. Do not cover or block any of the appli-
ances openings.
▪ Position the cookware centrally on the hob. In this way, the base of the pan largely screens the
electro-magnetic field.
▪ Do no remove any covers from the appliance.
▪ Do not place any empty piece of cookware on the hob when it is switched on. Heating up an empty
cooking pot causes the overheating protection to be triggered.

ance with the regulations. The power cable and plug must be dry.
