Safety
Risk of burns!
Even with induction hobs, the cooking
zones get hot during operation and will re-
main hot after they are switched off. This
is indicated by the residual heat indicator.
■ Metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on
the hob surface since they can get hot.
■ After use, switch off the hob element
by its control and do not rely on the
pan detector. If you only remove the
pot from the cooking zone, the zone
will be reactivated as soon as a pot or
other object made of ferromagnetic
material is placed on it.
■ Caution in the event of a power cut:
residual heat may not be indicated.
■ Allow the cooking zones to cool down
completely before cleaning.
Exception: Remove sugary or starchy
contaminants, plastic or aluminium
foil from the hot glass ceramic imme-
diately using a standard sharp scrap-
er. While doing so protect hands from
burns with oven gloves or pot holders.
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 then cover the fl ame e. g. with an
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 manufacturer,
approved protective hob grilles or cov-
ers which are 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.
Health risk for persons with pacemak-
ers!
An electromagnetic fi eld is created in
the immediate vicinity of the switched-
on hob. The pacemaker is, however, not
likely to be negatively impacted.
■ Consult your physician in advance
about using an induction hob.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper use may damage the appli-
ance itself 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.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil or plas-
tic containers to cook on the cooking
zones as they can melt.
