15.3 Safety Instructions
Warning
► Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation, so that you can intervene
quickly in the event of danger.
► Do not move the appliance during operation or with hot cookware on the hot plate.
► Ensure that the cookware is properly centred on the hob. It must not be positioned on
the control panel or on the frame.
► In order to prevent overheating do not place any aluminium foil or metal panels on the
appliance surface.
► Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic hob.
Although the induction cooktop itself does not produce any heat during the cooking
process, the temperature of the cookware does heat up the hob.
► Keep the hob and the underside of the pot clean and dry at all times. If liquid gets
between the base of the pot and the hob, this liquid can vaporise and the resulting
pressure can cause the pot to jump into the air, with a resulting risk of injury.
Please note
► Switch the appliance off after use. This avoids unnecessary use of energy, and ensures
your safety.
► If the appliance is unused for extended periods of time, we recommend that the
appliance be unplugged from the mains.
