steamed potatoes)
Levels 6-9: cooking, frying, roasting, boiling (steak, omelette, fried dishes, water)
VENTILATION SYSTEM
Your Franke appliance is designed to cool itself down when in operation. The ventilation system will
automatically switch on and off when the system decides necessary. There will be a small noise of the
cooling fan audible. This can also stay on after the appliance has been switched off.
PRECAUTIONS NOT TO DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on the
appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone
(be careful: do not burn yourself).
• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surface.
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the content
of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is essential to
guaranty a correct ventilation.
