• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can
be dangerous and may result in fire.
• Never use water to extinguish the cooking fire. Switch off
the appliance and cover flames with e.g. a fire blanket or lid.
• WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to
a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A
short term cooking process has to be supervised
continuously.
• WARNING: Danger of fire: Do not store items on the
cooking surfaces.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get
hot.
• Do not use the appliance before installing it in the built-in
structure.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do
not rely on the pan detector.
• If the glass ceramic surface / glass surface is cracked,
switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. In
case the appliance is connected to the mains directly using
junction box, remove the fuse to disconnect the appliance
from power supply. In either case contact the Authorised
Service Centre.
• Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the appliance
is installed to avoid the backflow of gases into the room
from appliances burning gas or other fuels, including open
fires.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked and
the air collected by the appliance is not conveyed into a
duct used to exhaust smoke and steam from other
appliances (central heating systems, thermosiphons, water-
heaters, etc.).
