Fire hazard!
Unsupervised cooking on the hob with
grease and oil can be dangerous and
can cause fi res.
■ NEVER attempt to extinguish a fi re
with water; instead switch the appli-
ance off and then cover the fl ames
with, for example, a pan lid or a fi re
blanket.
■ If you are preparing dishes with alco-
hol, do not leave the oven unattend-
ed! Food may ignite of its own accord.
■ Never store objects on the cooking
area.
■ The cooking process must be super-
vised. A short cooking process must
be constantly supervised.
■ Only protective hob grilles or hob
covers made by the hob manufac-
turer, approved protective hob grilles
or covers which are listed in the user
manual, or pre-installed protective
hob grilles or hob covers may be used.
The use of unsuitable protective hob
grilles or hob covers may lead to ac-
cidents.
■ Always switch the hob off completely
after cooking!
Risk of injury!
This hob has sharp edges. Improper
handling can result in cut injuries.
■ Wear protective gloves when unpack-
ing and installing the hob.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from improper installa-
tion of the appliance.
Insuffi cient air circulation may lead to
damage caused by overheating.
■ Never fi t the hob over an oven with-
out ventilation!
Risk due to improper operation!
■ Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise, these
may cause permanent and irrepara-
ble damage to the hob.
■ Do not place hot pots or pans on the
sensor fi eld. Otherwise the electronics
underneath may be damaged.
■ Do not push heavy pans across the
hob; this may scratch the glass ce-
ramic.
– Even if small objects just make
slight contact with the hob, they
can damage the glass ceramic sur-
face. For example, do not allow salt
and pepper shakes to fall onto the
hob from cabinets above.
