SAFETY
During usage
– Remember the very short heating up time at the higher settings.
Always stay close to the hob if you have a cooking zone on a high
setting.
– Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is switched on.
While the hotplate is protected and will switch itself off, the pan will
be extremely hot. The pan could be damaged.
– When the induction hob is in use keep objects that can be affected
by magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, diskettes, watches and
similar items) away from its vicinity. We advise those who have
pacemakers to consult a heart specialist first.
– Do not use the appliance below 5 °C.
