Safety Instructions and Warnings
General information on the hob
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• Never allow the induction hob to operate unatten-
ded, 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 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 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 ignited fats and oils with water!
Switch the appliance off and then carefully cover the
flame, for example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.
• 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 Customer Service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! Con-
necting cables must not come into contact with hot
cooking zones.
• Risk of fire: 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 plas-
tics, 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
immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of
burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are
not 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
activate the OFF key.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this
will cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
• Whenever possible, use the back cooking zones for
large pans so that the sensor keys are not heated up too
much (touch control overheating; error message E2).
• 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 ope-
ration is taking place in a built-in oven.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner
or similar appliance!
For persons
• These appliances may be used by children aged 8 years
and over and by persons with physical, sensory or men-
tal impairments or by persons who lack experience and/
or know-how, provided they are supervised or have

have understood the risks relating to the appliance.
Children may not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
maintenance by the user may only be carried out by
children when they are supervised.
• The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become
hot during use. Keep small children away at all times.
• Only hob protective grids and hob covers produced by
the hob manufacturer or the manufacturers of the hob
protective grids and hob covers authorised by the
manufacturer in the instructions for use may be used.
The use of unsuitable hob protective grids and hob
covers may result in accidents.

pumps must make sure that their implants are not affec-
ted by the induction hob (the frequency range of the
induction hob is 20-50 kHz).
