Safety notices
Fire hazard!
Unsupervised cooking on the hob with
grease and oil can be dangerous and
can cause fi res.
■ NEVER try to extinguish a fi re with
water, but switch off the appliance
and cover the fl ame with e. g. a lid or
a fi re blanket.
■ Never store objects on the cooking
area.
■ The cooking process must be super-
vised. A short term cooking process
has to be supervised continuously.
■ Only protective hob grilles or hob cov-
ers made by the hob manufactur-
er, approved protective hob grilles or
covers 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 accidents.
■ 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!
Improper use may damage the appli-
ance or cooking utensils.
■ Wipe the glass ceramic surface and
the base of the pots before use to
remove any dirt that may cause
scratches.
■ Do not push heavy pans across the
hob; this may scratch the glass ce-
ramic.
■ If possible, only use metal cookware
on the cooking zone. Glass is a poor
heat conductor. Because of this, ther-
mal stress and breakages may occur
when using glass cookware on the
hob.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil or plas-
tic containers to cook on the cooking
zones, as they can melt.
■ Use the hob as a work surface or
somewhere to place objects only
once the cooking zone has complete-
ly cooled off. Materials which are sen-
sitive to heat, such as plastic dishes,
could become damaged if this is the
case.
■ 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.
■ Clean and maintain the hob regularly
with a care product containing a spe-
cial impregnating oil for glass ceram-
ic hobs. Such products can be found
in specialist shops.
■ Do not use any harsh abrasive deter-
gents, scouring agents, abrasive pow-
der or steel sponges; they can scratch
the surface and damage the glass.
