Overheatingofcookersurface.
7.2SafetyNotes
Thesafetyinstructionscontainedinthismanual,theapplicablenationalregulationsonthe
preventionofaccidentsaswellasuser’sinternalsafetyrulesmustbestrictlyobserved.
7.3NoticetoUser
•Topreventelectricalshocks,theinstallationandelectricalconnectionoftheinduction
cookermustbeperformedbyaqualifiedcontractoraspernationalandlocalregulations.

•Theheatingzonehashightemperature.Toavoidinjury(scalding),donottouchthisarea.
•Toavoiddryheating(glowing)ofwok/pan,don’tleavetheapplianceonunattended.
Forthesakeofsafety,switchthepoweroff.

•Topreventaccidentscausedbyautomaticheatingofwok/pan,switchoffthecookerbefore
removingthewok/pan.Donotrelyonthepandetector.Thisensuresthatanyonewho
wantstousethecookermustswitchitonhim/herself.

•Don’tinsertanypieceofpaper,cardboard,cloth,etc.betweenthewok/panandtheheating

•Donotplacemetallicobjectssuchaskitchenutensils,cutlery,cans,aluminiumfoilandkeys
onthehobsurfacewithinthecookingzonebecausesuchthingscanbeheatedupquickly.

•Donotwearwatchesandringsastheseobjectscanbeheatedupwhenincloseproximity
tothehobsurface.

•Peoplewithheartpacemakersshouldconsultwiththemanufacturerorphysicianbefore
usingtheinductioncooker.

•Theentireunitmustbereliablygrounded.Oncethecookerbodyorelectriccableis
foundbroken,immediatelyswitchtheunitoff,disconnectthepowerandcontactthe
