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.
• If the mains supply cable of this appliance
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 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 fl ame, for example with a lid or an
extinguisher blanket.
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• 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! Connection cables must not
come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• Risk of fi re: 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 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.
• 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!
