Commissioning the device
•
Prior to connecting the device, check whether the voltage indicated on the type plate
corresponds to the voltage supply in your home. A wrong connection may lead to grave
damage on the device and injury to persons.
•
The two hotplate surfaces consist of temperature-resistant ceramics. In case of damage,
even if this concern only a small tear, disconnect the device from the power supply
immediately and contact the customer service.
•
We recommend not placing any metal kitchen utensils, cookware or pan lids, knives or other
metal objects on the hotplate. These may heat up when the device is turned on.

surface while the device is in operation.
•
On order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminium foil or metal plates on the device.
Warning: Please do not put the induction cooker on an iron/steel board, while operating.
Due to electromagnetic reason, the iron/steel board may heat and damage the bottom of the
induction cooker.
•
Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots. Attention: this may cause
electric shocks.
•
Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic field. Please note: the induction hotplate does
not heat up itself during cooking, but the temperature of the cookware heats up the hotplate!
