Safety Instructions and Warnings

General information on the hob

• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking
zones which have been switched on. Avoid boiling
the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots
overheating!
• 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.
• 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 blanket 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!
Connecting cables must not come into contact with
hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
• 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 ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in
order to avoid damaging the hob.
• Do not place combustible, volatile or heat
deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
• 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.
• Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the
filter can ignite!
• Do not allow spilled food to burn repeatedly.
• Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam
cleaner or similar appliance!
