Electrical safety

This appliance must only be installed by a quali-
fied electrician. For reasons of electrical safety,
built–in appliances must only be installed into the
standard, matching mounting cabinet or worktop.
Only use the hob when it has been fully installed. This
will prevent you from coming into contact with current–
carrying parts.
Also follow the information given in the accompanying
Instructions for Use and for Installation
Damaged hobs with cracks or breakages in the glass
ceramic surface must not be connected to the mains.
For reasons of safety, repairs to the appliance, and in
particular to the current–carrying components, must
only be carried out by qualified electricians or trained
Customer Service technicians. Otherwise, considera-
ble danger could result for the user. In case of malfunc-
tion, contact our Customer Service department di-
rectly.
If the glass–ceramic hob is to be used in the vicinity of
a radio, TV or other transmitting device, it must first be
clarified whether this could affect its operation.
The appliance is only disconnected from the mains
when the fuse is turned off or the mains connection is
interrupted.

Use and Operation

Prevent small children from touching the glass–cera-
mic top when in use. As a rule, they should be kept
away from both the hob and from pots and pans.
Children can also burn themselves by pulling pans or
pots off the hob.
The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are tur-
ned on. Only turn them on if you have placed a sauce-
pan on the cooking area.

Exercise care when working with a hot hob, or hot pots
or pans. There is always a danger of being burned
The residual heat indicator integrated in the electro-
nics tells you whether a cooking zone is still hot.
In case a pan/pot is left on the cooking zone the resi-
dual heat indicator can switch off tough is the cooking
zone still hot from the pan with hot contents.
In the event of a power failure, all settings and displays
will be lost. Be careful, because hot cooking zones will
no longer be indicated by the residual heat indicator.
If you use a socket close to the hob, take care that the
cable of the appliance does not touch the hot surface
of the hob.
Do not store any temperature–sensitive or inflamma-
ble materials (such as detergents, spray cans) in the
drawers or the cupboards underneath the built–in hob.
The cooking surface must not be used as a storage or
working area.
Attention! Never look directly into the light from the
halogen cooking zone.
Never leave the hob unattended when working with
oils and fats, due to the danger of fire.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob.
They melt at high temperatures, and can damage the
glass–ceramic plate.
Neither sugar (solid or liquid) nor plastic should be allo-
wed to come into contact with the hot surface of the
hob.
When the plate cools down, cracks or breakages could
occur in the glass–ceramic plate. If sugar or plastic
should accidentally come into contact with the hot hob,
the latter must not be switched off for any reason, but
the sugar or plastic remnants must be removed with a
scraper while still warm. Protect your hands from
burns.
To avoid scratching the surface of the glass–ceramic
hob, only use pots and pans with flat bases and without
rough edges.
The ceramic hob surface is resistant to extreme tem-
peratures. Neither cold nor heat can harm it. Avoid
dropping anything on the hob. Point impacts, e.g. by
dropping a salt shaker, can cause fissures and cracks.
A defective hob surface could allow food which has
boiled over to penetrate through the hob, and contact
the electrical parts.
If any cracks appear on the hob surface, the hob must
be switched off immediately. Disconnect the appliance
from the mains and inform the service department.
