6. SAFETy rEGULATIoNS
The SINA appliance reflects the state of the art and has been built in accordance
with the valid CE guidelines. Safe operation is assured. The SINA appliance is not
intended to be operated by children or persons with physical or mental limitations,
unless they are instructed and monitored while using the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
The SINA appliance may represent a source of danger if
the information in these operating instructions is not heeded,
setup, maintenance or repair work is undertaken by non-authorised persons, or
the SINA appliance is used incorrectly or for purposes other than its intended
use.
This may present
a danger to the efficient operation of the SINA appliance
a danger to the SINA appliance itself and other property belonging to the user
a danger to life and limb
When transporting, setting up, maintaining and repairing the SINA appliance,
the latest version of the following regulations and guidelines that are applicable
in your country must be observed:
Regulations of professional electricians' associations, e.g. VDE, SEV, etc.
EC directives (in EU countries)
Accident prevention regulations
Guidelines of employers' liability insurance associations
Trade regulations
If the SINA appliance is being installed in close proximity to a wall, partition
walls, kitchen furniture, decorative panelling, etc., it is recommended that these
objects consist of non-combustible material; otherwise they must be covered
with a suitable non-combustible, heat-insulating material and the fire safety
regulations are to be observed extremely carefully.
The following points must strictly be observed:
Unauthorised conversions or modifications by the customer are prohibited –
MENU SYSTEM disclaims all liability in such cases.
If the mains supply cable for the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, an authorised service agent or other similarly qualified
person in order to prevent hazards.
The connection for the mains plug should always be positioned so that it is
freely accessible. If this is not possible, a master switch for the appliance must
be installed by the customer. In the event of a malfunction, the appliance must
be switched off completely by unplugging the mains plug or by turning off the
master switch.

Do not allow any liquid to enter your SINA induction appliance. Do not use water
jets or steam to clean your SINA appliance.
Intended use and area of application:
If the glass ceramic or wok shell is broken or even slightly cracked, then the
SINA appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the electrical
supply. Do not touch any parts inside the appliance.
The surface of the SINA appliance should not be used for storage.
Only use suitable pans with a minimum base diameter of 12 cm for induction
cooking. Theoretically, it is possible to use smaller cookware, but this may
result in the following:
– Reduced efficiency
– Pan recognition may not be possible
– Radiation may be greater
If you have a SINA Wok, always use the special pan that is available from
MENU SYSTEM.
Never heat a pan while empty. This could cause the pan to overheat.
Once you have removed the pan after cooking, remember to switch the SINA
appliance off, unless you intend to use it again straight away. This will prevent
the appliance from heating up accidentally should you or someone else place
a pan on the cooking surface.
Do not heat up tins or other sealed containers, as these can explode! Items that
are unsuitable for use include any cookware that is not specifically intended for
induction appliances, as well as metal splash guards, aluminium foil, cutlery,
jewellery, watches, metallic objects, etc.
The induction hob is officially switched on as soon as the rotary switch is moved
away from the off position (red line aligned with status indicator). Whenever the
hob is not in use, the appliance must be switched off.
