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.

is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the Customer Service of the
manufacturer or by another qualifi ed person to
avoid danger.
• The appliance may not be operated with
an external timer or an external telecontrol
system.

2.2 General information about 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
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 ON/OFF key or the
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 fl ame, for
example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.
• The glass ceramic plate is extremely robust.
You should, however, avoid dropping hard
objects onto the glass ceramic plate. Sharp
objects which fall onto the glass ceramic plate
might break it.
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass
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!
Connection cables must not come into contact
with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fi re: never store items on the induction
hob.
• The glass ceramic plate must not be used as
depositing place when hot.
• 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 glass
ceramic plate (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-magnetisable
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
appliance may consider dirt to be fi nger
contact. Never put anything (pans, tea towels
etc.) onto the sensor keys!
