CAUTION
Risks when handling the
appliance
Risk of burns!
During its use, the device and its ex-
posed parts can become hot.
■ Please avoid touching the heating el-
ements.
■ Children aged 8 years or younger
must be kept away from the device,
unless they are under constant super-
vision.
■ Do not touch hot parts. Always pro-
tect hands with oven gloves or pot
holders when working on the hot
appliance. Only use dry oven gloves
or potholders. Wet textiles are bet-
ter heat conductors and can cause
steam burns.
■ Hob:
– Do not store items that could be of
interest to children in the storage
space above or below the hob. Chil-
dren could be encouraged to climb
on the hob.
– Do not leave pot/pan handles stick-
ing out over the edge of the work-
top; this ensures children cannot
reach up and pull down the cook-
ware.
– Metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the hotplate since they
can get hot.
– The cooking zones get very hot dur-
ing operation and will remain hot
after they are switched off; this is
shown by the residual heat indica-
tor.
– If a power failure occurs, the resid-
ual heat indicators will go out and
may not indicate the presence of
residual heat.
– Always switch off the cooking
zones/areas yourself if you wish to
stop a cooking process. Cancelling
the cooking time limit does not end
the cooking process itself.
– Allow the cooking zones to cool
completely before cleaning.
Exception: Remove sugary or
starchy residues, plastic or alumin-
ium foil from the hot glass ceram-
ic immediately using a standard
sharp scraper. While doing so pro-
tect hands from burns with oven
gloves or pot holders.
■ Oven
– Never pour water directly into the
hot oven. The steam can cause
scalding and damage the enamel.
– Allow hot water from the oven to
cool before pouring it out.
– Never leave the oven unattended
while grilling. Keep children away!
– Allow the oven to cool completely
before cleaning.
