WARNING!
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
General
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting
from failure to follow the safety instructions and warnings.
Damage caused by incorrect connection, incorrect fitting, or incorrect
use is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING!
This appliance and the accessible parts will become hot during
use. Do not touch hot parts. Keep children younger than 8 away
from the appliance unless they are under continuous supervision.
DANGER OF FIRE!
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
NOTE!
CAUTION! The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
DANGER OF FIRE!
WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision
can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
•NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the
appliance off and then cover the flames with for example a lid or
a fire blanket.
•Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause
a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.

Safety

WARNING!
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the
instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the
appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
•If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the
installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this
should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres
between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
•The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
•Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of
pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or
scalded.
•Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the
appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
•Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may
accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects
could melt, become hot or catch fire.
•Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
•The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
•When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new
smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated,
the smell will soon disappear.
•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
•Never open the casing of the appliance.
•Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
•The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. For
example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it
to break.

Safety

WARNING!
Ceramic glass plate broken

•Do not touch the appliance surface.
•Do not use the appliance.
•Do not use or store flammable materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance.
•Do not use this appliance as a space heater.
•Do not modify this appliance.
•Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in
operation.
WARNING!
Households with children and people with special needs
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
•Children shall not play with the appliance.
•Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless
supervised.
•Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in
cupboards above or behind the appliance.

a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during
and immediately after cooking.
•Children are not to be allowed near the device unsupervised.

Safety

Gas burners
WARNING!
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of
heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which
it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open
or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
•The burner components are hot during and immediately after use.
Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant
materials.
•Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water.
The rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
•The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant
wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In case of
smaller distances, the high temperature may cause the knobs or
wall to discolour and/or deform.
•Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
•Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly
on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.
•Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They
can burn into the burner caps and pan supports.
•The hob can only function effectively if the burner components
have been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the
pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the drip
tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
•Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
•Do not use griddle plates or baking plates.
7
Safety

•Clean the burner parts regularly for safe and correct operation of
the burners.
•Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches
on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber
feet are missing, please contact our service department.
•Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan
support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
•Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does
not overhang the appliance.
Induction cooking zones and cooking areas
•Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
on the surface of the hob, they may become hot.
•As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process
will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
•After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t
rely only on the pan detector.
•Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating
time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.
•When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.

Safety

Safe use
Temperature safety induction zones
•Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the
base of the pan and the sections of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example
through a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the power of the cooking
zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off completely.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
If a cooking zone or the wok burner is switched on for an unusually long time, it will be switched
off automatically.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
The cooking zone or wok burner switches off
automatically after:
Cooking settings
9 hours1 and 2
5 hours3, 4 and 5
4 hours6, 7 and 8
3 hours9
2 hours10
1 hour11 and 12
The cooking zone or wok burner switches off automatically when the above-stated time has elapsed.
The cooking zone switches to setting 12
automatically after:
Cooking settings
