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 qualified electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For y-
our own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified service technician to install, ser-
vice or repair the product.
If the mains supply cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufactu-
-
rer, the Customer Service of the manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
-
The appliance may not be operated with an external timer or an external tele control system
2.2 General information about the hob
Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as the high power setting results in ext-
-
remely 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 flame, 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 drop-
-
ping 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 imme-
diately and call Customer Service.
-
If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control immediately dis-
connect 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 fire: 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, inflammable 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 af-
fected.
