Safety advices for using the appliance
WARNING: Hazard of injury and burns!
Casing and heating plates are getting hot during use and
firstly stay hot after switch-off!
Thus, work with caution:
• We recommend using pot cloths and appropriate cooking cutlery!
• Please note the installation instructions.
• Do not use the appliance’s upper side as depositing rack or working top as it will
get hot when operating the appliance! As protection against fire, do generally
not put any objects on hot surfaces!
• Only use suitable pots or pans with sound, even bottom and appropriate diame-
ter (also fire-proof glass or chinaware). If the pot bottom is uneven or too small,
you will waste energy. The heating plate and the pot bottom must always be
clean and dry.
• Do not use cooking vessels made of plastic, inferior enamel, porcelain or alumini-
um foil.
• Model with glass ceramic surface: In case any plastic objects, aluminium foil,
sugar or dishes containing sugar accidently happen to melt on the ceramic hob,
immediately shove them off the hot heating zone using a cleaning scraper.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects and protect
the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.
• Attention! Hazard of fire! Fat and oil can ignite when overheated. Therefore,
food containing fat and oil must be prepared under supervision only.
• Never try to extinguish a fire with water. Switch off the appliance and cover the
flames with a blanket or fire blanket.
• Never splash cold water on the hot heating plates/cooking zones!
• Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before cleaning or
moving them!
• Do not install the appliance in areas exposed to explosion hazards in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use the appliance as a space heater.
