Connection and operation

Safety instructions
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the rele-
vant safety regulations.
• Repairing and servicing the appliances are jobs that should be
left to a qualified electrician according to valid safety regula-
tions. For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a
qualified service technician to install, service or repair this
appliance.

General information on the hob

• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which
have been switched on. Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there
is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water
may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to
the hob for which no liability will be assumed.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always
supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.
• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You
should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might
break it.
• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass
ceramic hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
mains plug immediately and call Customer service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor
control immediately disconnect the mains plug of your appli-
ance and call Customer service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting
cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• Do not change the position of the appliance during operation.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones.
Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in
particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any
sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to
avoid damaging the hob.
• Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat deformable
objects directly underneath the hob.
• Keep the sensor buttons clean since the appliance may con-
sider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans, tea
towels etc.) onto the sensor buttons! If food boils over onto the
sensor buttons, we advise you to activate the OFF button.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor buttons, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
• Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can
ignite!
• Avoid repeated burning of contaminations.
• Lime deposits are harmful to the griddle/hob.
• The appliance must always be placed on a sturdy, straight
worktop. Do not put the appliance onto anything hot, such as
the tops of cookers, etc. and do not expose it to uncovered
flames.
• The appliance must be connected to alternating current in
accordance with the type plate.
• The appliance must not be left unattended when in operation.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space around the appliance. Do
not install the appliance on walls or in corners.
• Do not allow the mains supply cable to hang down. Make sure
that it is out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow the mains supply cable to come into contact with
hot cooking zones or hot appliance parts since this may cause
a short circuit.
• Do not submerge the appliance in water or hold it under run-
ning water. Do not allow the appliance or the mains supply
cable to become damp.
• The mains cable should only be replaced by an electrician who
observes the relevant regulations.
• Do not pull the plug out of the socket by the cable. Do not wind
the mains cable around the appliance and do not kink or dam-
age the cable.
• Always keep a close watch on children when they operate
electrical appliances since they do not recognise dangerous
situations which may occur when handling these appliances.
When using the appliance outdoors:
- The mains cable must be checked regularly to ensure that it is
not damaged. The appliance may not be used if the mains
cable is damaged.
- The appliance must be powered from a residual current device
(RCD) with a rated tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
- The socket must have an earthed conductor.
- Avoid direct moisture (e.g. rain) when using the hob outdoors
since it is an electrical appliance.

Information on the griddle hob

• Be extremely careful when operating the grilling mode. Heat
from the heating element will heat up the hob and the food you
are grilling, so it is advisable to use oven gloves and tongs.
• Hot fat may squirt out of food that has been pricked, such as
sausages. Use tongs to prevent burns to your skin and particu-
larly to avoid getting hot fat into your eyes.
• Supervise the grilling procedure at all times.
• Always make sure that children are kept well away!
• Never use silicone-containing cleansing agents to clean the
grilling surface! Please observe the cleaning and servicing
instructions.
• We would like to indicate that scratches on the griddle caused
by improper cleaning or cutting with knives do not have a neg-
ative influence on the operation of the device. They merely
impair the appearance of the appliance.

Concerning persons

• Caution! People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must
only be allowed to operate it under supervision. Small children
must always be kept away from the hob. Never allow them to
play with the appliance.
• Attention! The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones
become hot during use. Keep small children away at all times.
