Safety instructions
Connection and operation
•The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant
safety regulations.
•Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and
servicing the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For
your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified
service technician to install, service or repair the product.
Concerning the hob
•Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as
the high power setting (power max.) results in extremely
fast reactions.
•Never place a hot pan on the
LCD displays!
•When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the
cooking zones. Avoid boiling the pots dry as there is a risk of
the pots overheating!
•Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which
have been switched on.
•Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water may
dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob
for which no liability will be assumed.
•It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch it off
with the respective minus key and not just with the pan
recognition device.
•Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always
supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the pan
and switch off the cooking zone.
•The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You
should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might
break it.
•Switch the hob off immediately if the glass ceramic is broken,
torn, cracked or damaged in any other manner. Disconnect the
fuse immediately and call Customer Service.
•If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor
control immediately disconnect your appliance and call
Customer Service.
•Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting
cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.
•If the excess cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be
replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer Service of the
manufacturer or by another qualified person to avoid danger.
•The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
•After using the hob, it is essential that you switch it off with the
respective keys and not just with the pan recognition device.
•Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones.
Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in
particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any
sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to avoid
damaging the hob.
•Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be put
down on the induction hob since they may become hot. Risk of
burning!
•Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects
directly underneath the hob.
•Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the
immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution! Risk of burns!
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not
affected.
•Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food
or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!
•Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may consider
dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans, tea towels
etc.) onto the sensor keys! If food boils over onto the sensor
keys, we advise you to activate the OFF key.
•Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will cause
the appliance to switch off automatically.
•Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the home
which could make contact with the hob.
•The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is
taking place in a built-in oven.
