Technical safety

• Installation, repair, grounded and maintenance work shall be performed by an authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous for the user.
• A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Before installing the cooktop, check for visible
damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance.
• The electrical safety of this cooktop can only be guaranteed if proper grounding has
installed in compliance with applicable regulations. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If in doubt, have the house wiring checked by a qualified
electrician.
• Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency on the cooktop's data
plate correspond with the household electrical supply. These ratings must match to
prevent damaging the cooktop. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• Multiple power outlets or extension cords are not safe (risk of fire). Do not use them to
connect the cooktop to the electrical power supply.
• To ensure safe operation, use the cooktop only when it has been properly installed.
• Do not under any circumstances open the cooktop housing. Any contact with
connections carrying voltage or changes to the electrical or mechanical set-up will
endanger you and may impair the functioning of the cooktop.
• Only with original spare parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the
appliance. Defective components should only be replaced with original parts.
• The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer or a remote control system.
• Connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply must only be performed
by a qualified electrician. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before installation, maintenance or repair work is performed, disconnect the cooktop
from the electrical power supply.
Ensure this by:
– switching the respective circuit breaker off, or
– fully unscrewing the respective fuse, or
– pulling out the power plug (if applicable).Pull on the plug and not on the cord.
• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• Risk of electric shock! If the cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked or broken in
any way, immediately switch it off and do not continue to use it. Disconnect it from the
electrical power supply.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top - If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Proper use

• WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may
result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and
then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
