NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
•
appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
•
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
WARNING: Danger of fire: Do not store items on the cooking
•
surfaces.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should
•
not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
•
If the glass ceramic surface / glass surface is cracked, switch
•
off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. In case the
appliance is connected to the mains directly using junction box,
remove the fuse to disconnect the appliance from power
supply. In either case contact the Authorised Service Centre.
In case of hotplate glass breakage:
•
shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating
–
element and isolate the appliance from the power supply,
do not touch the appliance surface,
–
do not use the appliance.
–
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
•
manufacturer, an authorized Service or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Where the appliance is directly connected to the power supply,
•
an all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap is required.
Complete disconnection in compliance with the conditions
specified in overvoltage category III must be guaranteed. The
earth cable is excluded from this.
When you route the mains cable, make sure that the cable
•
doesn't come into direct contact (for example using insulating
sleeving) with parts that can reach temperatures of more than
50°C above room temperature.
WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer
•
of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of
the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob
guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.
