Safety instructions
C nnecti n and perati n
■ KÜPPERSBUSCH appliances are c nstructed in acc rdance with the relevant
safety regulati ns.
■ If the h b is perated with an ven installed underneath, this may nly be
a KÜPPERSBUSCH ven with fan c ling.
■ The appliances may nly be c nnected t the mains, maintained and
repaired by a qualified electrician acc rding t valid safety regulati ns. W rk
carried ut inc rrectly places y ur safety at risk.
■ Pers ns with cardiac pacemakers r implanted insulin pumps must make
sure that their implants are n t affected by the inducti n field (the frequency
range f the inducti n field is 25-50 kHz).
The h b
■ Owing to the very fast reaction at the high power setting (power
level), do not use the induction hob without supervision!
■ When c king, pay attenti n t the heat-up speed f the c king z nes.
Av iding b iling the p ts dry as there is a risk f the p ts verheating!
■ D n t place empty p ts and pans n c king z nes which have been
switched n.
■ Immediately switch ff the c king z ne after using with the respective
minus key and n t just by p t rec gniti n.
■ Overheated fats and ils may sp ntane usly ignite. F d inv lving the use
f fats and ils, e.g. chips, may nly be c ked under supervisi n. Never
extinguish ignited fats and ils with water! Put the lid n the pan and switch
ff the c king z ne.
■ The glass ceramic h b is extremely r bust. Av id dr pping hard bjects nt
the glass ceramic h b. P inted bjects falling nt y ur h b might break it.
■ If cracks, fractures r any ther defects appear in y ur glass ceramic h b,
immediately switch ff the appliance. Disc nnect fuse immediately and call
the Cust mer service.
■ If the h b cann t be switched ff due t a defect in the sens r c ntr l
immediately disc nnect y ur appliance and call the Cust mer service.
■ The glass ceramic h b sh uld n t be used as a st rage area.
■ D n t put kitchen f il r plastic nt the c king z ne.
■ Metal bjects, e.g. kitchen utensils, cutlery, must n t be left n the surface
f the inducti n h b as they can bec me h t.
■ Take care with metal bjects which are w rn n the b dy if they c me int
the direct vicinity f the inducti n h b as they can bec me h t. N n-
magnetisable bjects (e.g. g ld r silver rings) are n t affected.
■ D n t heat any un pened f d cans r laminated packing n the h b.
There is a risk f bursting!
■ Be especially careful t keep the sens r keys clean since s iling c uld be
mistaken f r finger c ntact by the appliance. Never put anything (pans, tea
t wels etc.) nt the sens r keys!
If f d b ils ver nt the sens r keys, we advise y u t activate the OFF-
key.
■ H t pans sh uld n t c ver the sens r keys, therwise the appliance
switches itself ff aut matically. In this case the ven aut matically shuts
ff.
■ If there are any pets in the apartment which c uld c me near the h b,
activate the child-pr f l ck.
Before using the appliance for
the first time
Rem ve f reign matter and packaging.
Bef re first use the h b sh uld be cleaned with a damp cl th and a little
washing-up liquid.
The h b is resistant against thermal sh cks (c ldness and heat) and als very
r bust.
Please bserve the cleaning and servicing instructi ns.
The hob
The h b is pr vided with an inducti n c king area.
An inducti n c il underneath the glass ceramic surface generates an
electr magnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and
induces the heat-generating current in the p t base.
With an inducti n c king z ne the heat is n l nger transferred fr m a
heating element thr ugh the c king p t int the f d being c ked but the
necessary heat is generated directly in the c ntainer by means f inducti n
currents.
Advantages f the inducti n h b
– Energy-saving c king thr ugh the direct transfer f energy t the p t
(suitable p ts/pans made f magnetisable material are required).
– Increased safety as the energy is nly transferred when a p t is placed n
the h b.
– Energy transfer between inducti n c king z ne and p t base with high
efficiency.
– High heat-up speed.
– The risk f burns is l w as the c king area is nly heated thr ugh the pan
base, any f d which b ils ver d es n t stick t the surface.
– Rapid, sensitive c ntr l f the energy supply.
S me instructi ns n c kware
The c kware used f r the inducti n c king z ne must be made f metal,
have magnetic pr perties and a sufficient base area. Only use pots with a
base suitable for induction.
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
C nduct the magnet test described bel w r make sure that the p t bears the
symb l f r suitability f r c king with inducti n current.
Magnet test:
M ve the magnet t wards the base f y ur c kware. If it is attracted, y u can
use the c kware n the inducti n h b.
Note:
When using p ts suitable f r inducti n fr m s me manufacturers, n ises may
ccur which are attributable t the design f these p ts.
