∙ Always ensure that air is able to circulate
freely underneath the unit. A minimum
distance of 10 cm to any wall must also
be observed.
∙ The ventilation slots on the unit must not
be covered during use.
∙ Do not operate the unit , unless suitable
cookware (with food in) has been put

there is cookware on the ceramic surface.

∙ The power cord must be kept well away
from any hot part of the appliance.
