Special safety instructions

• Place the appliance on an even, moisture and heat-resistant
surface. Use a heatresistant plate when placing on sensitive
surfaces.
• Do not move the device when it is in operation.
• Only touch the machine by using the handles and buttons
provided.
• Due to the rising heat and vapours the device should not be
operated under wall cupboards.
• Keep the unit at a safe distance from easily infl ammable
objects such as furniture, curtains, etc. (30cm). Under no
circumstances should the device be installed in cupboards.
• Do not heat empty pots on the cooking zone as this may
lead to dangerous overheating.
• Ventilation: Always keep the ventilation slots free from any
obstructions and dirt.
WARNING:
• Glass-ceramic surface! If the surface is damaged or has
cracks the device must be switched off to avoid the hazard
of electrical shocks.
• Induction heat! Metal objects as, e.g., knifes, forks,
spoons and pot lids should not be placed on the cooking
zone as they may get hot.
• Hot surface! The induction cooker initially heats only the
base of the cooking utensils used, not the cooking zone
itself. However, because of the heat radiated during coo-
king, dangerously high temperatures may also occur at
the cooking zone after the cooking cycle. Hazard of burns!
• Potential damage to your health!
People wearing pacemakers must not use this cooker.

General information

Cooking with induction technology
When cooking with induction technology, heat is only generated
by means of magnetic power, if a pot or pan with a magnetisable
base is placed on a switched-on cooking zone. The induction
cooker heats only the base of the cooking utensils used, not the
cooking zone itself. Under the glass-ceramics surface, the in-
duction coil is located. If the coil is supplied with electrical power
a magnetic fi eld develops generating whirls in the pot's base.
This results in the heating of the base material. The induction
