WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has
been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use. These precautions
will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed, including
those in the following pages.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or
grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,
be certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
‒You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
‒The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
‒The fire department is being called.
‒You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cooking Safety
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance
for storage.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Risk of fire
Overheated fat or oil is highly inflammable. Only
prepare food cooked in fat or oil when cooking can be
fully supervised. Under no circumstances attempt to
extinguish burning fat or oil with water. Choke the fire
using a lid or fire blanket.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Old frying oil or fat may foam over and burn easily.
Replace frying oil or fat if it becomes brown, has an
unpleasant smell and/or smokes prematurely.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Only close the appliance cover once the appliance
has cooled down. Never turn on the appliance with the
appliance cover closed. Don't set down food on
appliance cover or use it for keeping food warm.
Observe caution with water near oil
or fat
Water evaporating abruptly in hot oil or fat causes a
violent grease explosion. Observe the following
warnings to minimize the risk of a grease explosion.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Observe particular caution when working with water
near the hot appliance. Observe caution also when
working with water near the cold appliance. No water
should enter the frying oil or fat. Risk of a grease
explosion when heating up the deep fryer again!
Always place the stainless steel lid onto the appliance
after it has cooled down.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Replace oil or fat if it contains too much water (e.g.
after frequent frying of frozen food). Drain small
amounts of water from the cold oil zone before
heating up (approx. 1 cup).
Signs of water in the frying oil or fat:
▯rising bubbles
▯water drops
▯steam
▯excessive splashing during deep frying
WARNING
Risk of burns
The deep frying oil or fat will foam over if foodstuffs
that are too wet or if excessive quantities are inserted.
Thoroughly dry wet foodstuffs before deep frying.
Remove the ice from frozen foodstuffs. Fill the frying
basket beside the deep fryer, not in or directly over
the deep fryer. Slowly lower the basket several times
into the oil or fat.
WARNING
Risk of burns
After cleaning, thoroughly dry deep fryer basin before
filling it with deep-frying oil or fat again.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
Risk of burns
If the appliance cover (VD) is fitted: do not close the
appliance cover until the appliance has cooled down
completely. Do not operate the appliance with the
cover closed. Do not use the appliance cover for
placing objects or for keeping things warm.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper
relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only
certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.

11
Cold oil zone
The water contained in the food drops down into the
so-called cold oil zone under the heating element.
This largely prevents the oil from foaming over. Also
chunks that fall through the basket during deep frying
sink into the cold oil zone. The low temperatures in
this area significantly prolong the length of time the
deep frying oil or fat can be used. The foaming
expansion rim serves to collect foam generated during
deep drying.

Tips and tricks
Tips for deep frying oil or fat
▯Only use pure plant oil or fat that can be heated
up hot and is suitable for deep frying. Suitable
substances include peanut, palm or coconut oil.
Unsuitable substances include virgin olive oil, soy
or wheat germ oil. Avoid mixing different types.
Observe the manufacturer specifications.
▯After each time deep frying, remove potentially
remaining large chunks from the deep-frying oil or
fat using a perforated spoon. You can also drain
the residue using the oil drain valve. Wait until the
deep frying oil or fat has cooled down to a
maximum of 100 °F (45 °C).
▯If you wish to reuse the deep-frying oil or fat, line
a metal strainer with a paper towel and pour the
lukewarm oil or fat through it.
▯Replace the deep-frying oil or fat once it smells or
tastes unpleasant, foams heavily or begins
smoking early on (at 320 - 340 °F/160 - 170 °C),
or if the food no longer becomes crispy, although
the temperature is set correctly. Rising steam
from damp food shouldn't be confused with early
smoking.
▯Put on the lid once it has cooled down. This
prevents contaminants or water from getting into
the fat.
Tips for deep frying food
▯The following foods are suitable for deep frying:
small pieces of meat or fish, vegetables, potatoes,
pasta, fruit, breaded food.
▯Always thoroughly dry off damp food, such as
fish, shellfish, pieces of meat, and vegetable or
fruit peels.
▯Foods containing large amounts of water are not
suitable for deep frying.
Tips for deep frying
▯Don't deep fry too large of quantities at once so
that the oil can circulate well and quickly transfer
heat to the food. Shake the food around so that it
doesn't stick to each other and the oil can
circulate better.
▯The food should be completely immersed in deep
frying oil or fat. Otherwise it must be turned
halfway through the frying time or pushed down
with another frying basket.
▯Fill the frying basket on a countertop next to the
deep fryer, not in or over the deep fryer. This
keeps the deep frying oil or fat free of residue for
longer.
▯Don't salt or season over the deep fryer, in order
to prevent contaminating the deep frying oil or fat.
▯Inserting damp or frozen food causes the deep
frying oil or fat to foam particularly heavily. Lower
the frying basket slowly several times. This
prevents the fat from running over.
▯With frozen foods, remove the ice prior to deep
frying.
▯Set the recommended temperature.
‒Correct temperature: Proteins form a
protective crust. This prevents much fat from
penetrating.
‒Too high of temperature: The surface of the
food becomes encrusted too quickly The
insides remain raw.
‒Too low of temperature: The food absorbs too
much fat.
▯Dab off freshly deep-fried food with a paper
towel. This further reduces the amount of fat.

AVERTISSEMENT
Votre nouvel appareil a été conçu pour un
fonctionnement sûr et fiable si vous en prenez bien
soin. Lire attentivement toutes les consignes avant
l'emploi. Ces précautions réduiront les risques de
brûlures, de choc électrique, d'incendie et de lésions
corporelles. Lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil
électroménager, quelques précautions de sécurité
élémentaires doivent être observées, y compris celles
qui figurent aux pages suivantes.
Sécurité-incendie
Ne laissez pas le papier d'aluminium, le plastique, le
papier ou les tissus entrer en contact avec un élément
de surface, une grille ou un brûleur chaud. Ne laissez
pas les casseroles chauffer à sec.
Si la table de cuisson est près d'une fenêtre, d'un
évent à air forcé ou d'un ventilateur, s'assurer que les
matériaux inflammables tels les tentures/rideaux ne
flottent pas au-dessus ou près des brûleurs ou
éléments. Ils risqueraient de s'enflammer.
Toujours avoir un détecteur de fumée en état de
marche près de la cuisine.
Ne laissez jamais la table de cuisson sans
surveillance lorsqu'elle est en utilisation. Des
débordements causant de la fumée et des
déversements graisseux peuvent prendre feu.
AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE FEUX DE
GRAISSE :
a) Ne jamais faire fonctionner les unités de surface
à des températures élevées sans surveillance.
Des débordements causant de la fumée et des
déversements graisseux peuvent prendre feu.
Chauffer l'huile lentement à réglage faible ou
moyen.
b) Mettre toujours la hotte EN MARCHE pendant la
cuisson à température élevée et au moment de
flamber des aliments (p.ex., crêpes Suzette,
cerises jubilée, steak au poivre flambé).
c) Nettoyer souvent les ventilateurs d'aération. Il ne
faut pas que la graisse s'accumule sur le
ventilateur ou sur le filtre.
d) Utiliser des casseroles de taille adéquate. Utiliser
toujours des casseroles dont les dimensions
conviennent à la taille de l'élément.
Si des vêtements s’enflamment, rouler par terre
immédiatement pour éteindre les flammes.
Veillez à avoir à portée de main un extincteur
d'incendie en bon état de marche, placé visiblement
près de l'appareil et facile d'accès.
Étouffez les flammes d'un feu d'aliments autre qu'un
feu de graisse à l'aide de bicarbonate de soude. Ne
jamais utiliser d'eau sur les feux de cuisson.

AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE LÉSIONS
CORPORELLES DANS L'ÉVENTUALITÉ D'UN FEU
DE GRAISSE, OBSERVER LES CONSIGNES
SUIVANTES :
a) ÉTOUFFER LES FLAMMES à l'aide d'un
couvercle bien hermétique, d'une tôle à biscuits
ou d'un plateau en métal, puis éteindre l'appareil.
FAIRE ATTENTION À NE PAS SE BRÛLER. Si les
flammes ne s'éteignent pas immédiatement,
ÉVACUER LES LIEUX ET FAIRE APPEL AU
SERVICE D'INCENDIE.
b) NE JAMAIS SAISIR UN RÉCIPIENT QUI BRÛLE.
Vous pourriez vous brûler.
c) NE PAS UTILISER D'EAU, y compris les chiffons
ou serviettes mouillées. Une violente explosion de
vapeur risque de se produire.
d) Utiliser un extincteur uniquement si :
‒Vous savez que vous possédez un extincteur
de CLASSE ABC, et vous en connaissez déjà
le maniement.
‒L'incendie est de petite ampleuret contenu
dans la zone où il s'est déclaré.
‒Le service d'incendie est appelé.
‒On peut combattre l'incendie le dos tourné
vers la sortie.
Dans la mesure du possible, ne pas faire fonctionner
le système de ventilation lorsqu'un feu se déclenche
sur une table de cuisson. Toutefois, ne pas passer la
main à travers le feu pour mettre le système de
ventilation hors tension.
Sécurité de cuisson
AVERTISSEMENT
Utiliser cet appareil uniquement pour l'usage auquel il
est destiné comme l'indique ce manuel. Ne JAMAIS
utiliser cet appareil comme un radiateur électrique
portatif pour chauffer ou réchauffer une pièce. Ceci
pourrait entraîner une intoxication par l'oxyde de
carbone et provoquer une surchauffe de l'appareil.
L'appareil ne doit jamais servir à entreposer quoi que
ce soit.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne JAMAIS couvrir les encoches, orifices ou
passages pratiqués au fond du four et ne jamais
recouvrir complètement la grille avec des matériaux
tels que le papier d'aluminium. Ceci aurait pour effet
de bloquer la circulation de l'air à l'intérieur du four et
pourrait entraîner une intoxication par l'oxyde de
carbone. Les feuilles d'aluminium peuvent également
emprisonner la chaleur et présenter ainsi un risque
d'incendie.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'incendie
La graisse ou l'huile surchauffée est facilement
inflammable. Préparer des aliments dans de la graisse
ou de l'huile uniquement en les surveillant en
permanence. Ne jamais verser d'eau sur de l'huile ou
de la graisse enflammée pour l'éteindre. Etouffer le
feu en mettant un couvercle ou une couverture pare-
feu.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'incendie
Les huiles ou graisses usées tendent à mousser de
manière excessive et leur température d'inflammation
s'abaisse. Remplacez les huiles ou graisses usées ou
encrassées, lorsqu'elles deviennent marron, qu'elles
produisent une odeur désagréable ou qu'elles
dégagent rapidement de la fumée.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de brûlure
Ne fermez pas le couvercle avant le refroidissement
de l'appareil. N'allumez jamais l'appareil lorsque le
couvercle est fermé. N'utilisez pas le couvercle pour
maintenir au chaud ou déposer des objets.
Attention en cas de présence d'eau
dans l'huile ou la graisse
L'eau présente dans l'huile ou la graisse très chaudes
s'évapore d'un seul coup, générant une explosion de
graisse. Pour réduire le risque d'explosion de graisse,
respectez les instructions suivantes.
