• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable.
A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example,
could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch
the appliance o immediately, unplug it to avoid electric
shocks, and call the service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays, biscuit
tins, saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking zone. These
can heat up extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank cards,
fl oppy disks, etc.) away from the appliance. We advise
anyone with a pacemaker to consult their cardiologist
before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to
be allowed near the device unsupervised.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking
zone automatically stops. Accustom yourself to stop
the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintended
switching on of the induction hob.
• Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is
switched on. While the hotplate is protected and will
switch itself o , the pan will be extremely hot. The pan
could be damaged.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter of
bottom smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will not be
recognised by the appliance. The display continues to
fl ash and the hob will not switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of
an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of
certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped
with a sensor that measures the temperature of the
bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a
pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the
power is reduced automatically.
