2. Safety Instructions and Warnings

2.1 For connection and operation

• The appliances are constructed in accordance
with the relevant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliances to the mains and
repairing and servicing the appliances may
only be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician
according to currently-valid safety regulations.
For your own safety, do not allow anyone
other than a qualifi ed service technician to
install, service or repair the product.
• If the mains supply cable of this appliance is
damaged, it has to be replaced by the ma-
nufacturer, the Customer Service of the ma-
nufacturer or by another qualifi ed person to
avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with an
external timer or an external telecontrol sys-
tem.

2.2 General information on 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 cooking zones. Avoid boiling the
pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overhea-
ting!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking
zones which have been switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans as sim-
mering 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
and not just with the pan recognition device.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously
ignite. Always supervise the preparation of
food with fats and oils. Never extinguish igni-
ted fats and oils with water! Switch the appli-
ance off and then carefully cover the fl ame, for
example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.
• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is ex-
tremely robust. You should, however, avoid
dropping hard objects onto the glass ceramic
hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob
Safety Instructions and Warnings
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 Customer
Service.
• Take care when working with home applian-
ces! Connecting cables must not come into
contact with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fi re: never store items on the hob.
• 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 su-
gar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immedi-
ately 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, infl ammable or
heat deformable objects directly underneath
the hob.
• Metal items worn on your body may become
hot in the immediate vicinity of the induction
hob. Caution! Risk of burns! Non-magnetisa-
ble objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not
aff ected.
• 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 appli-
ance may consider dirt to be fi nger contact.
Never put anything (pans, tea towels etc.)
onto the sensor keys!
