Risks when handling the
appliance
WARNING
Fire hazard!
■ Unattended cooking on a hob with
fat or oil can be dangerous and may
result in fi re. NEVER try to extinguish
a fi re with water, but switch off the
appliance and the cover fl ame e. g.
with an lid or a fi re blanket.
■ If you are preparing food with alco-
hol, do not leave the cooker unat-
tended! Food may ignite own its own.
■ In the event of a fi re, immediately
switch off the appliance and switch
off the automatic circuit breakers
and/or unscrew the fuses. To extin-
guish the fi re, use a suitable fi re extin-
guisher labelled "F" or a fi re blanket.
■ Once the fi re has been extinguished,
have the appliance checked by our
Service Centre (see "Service" on
page EN-27).
■ Danger of fi re: do not store items on
the cooking surfaces.
■ Use only hob guards designed by the
manufacturer of the cooking appli-
ance or indicated by the manufactur-
er of the appliance in the instructions
for use as suitable or hob guards in-
corporated in the appliance. The use
of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
■ Do not cover the appliance with blan-
kets, cloths or similar, as these objects
may become hot and catch fi re.
■ If the cooling fan is defective, the ap-
pliance can quickly overheat, causing
even more damage to the appliance
and setting fi re to any other near-
by fl ammable objects. If this occurs,
switch the appliance off immediate-
ly!
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
During use the appliance becomes hot.
The cooking zones/areas get very hot
during operation.
■ The cooking process has to be super-
vised. A short term cooking process
has to be supervised continuously.
Risk of burns!
During use the appliance becomes hot.
The cooking zones/areas get very hot
during operation and will remain hot
even after they are switched off; this is
signalled by the residual heat indicator.
■ Caution in the event of a power cut:
residual heat may not be indicated.
■ Care should be taken to avoid touch-
ing heating elements. Always protect
hands with oven gloves or pot holders
when working on the hot appliance.
Only use dry oven gloves or pothold-
ers. Wet textiles are better heat con-
ductors and can cause steam burns.
■ After use, switch off the hob element
by its control and do not rely on the
pan detector.
■ Always switch off the cooking zone/
area yourself if you wish to stop a
cooking process. Cancelling the cook-
ing time limit does not end the cook-
ing process itself.
■ Do not leave the appliance unattend-
ed during use.
■ Children less than 8 years of age shall
be kept away unless continuously su-
pervised.
