Safety

Avoiding dangers due to electric shock
•
Have work on the voltage supply carried out by a
qualified, trained specialist electrician only.
At the very least, the specialist electrician must
have the following knowledge and skills:
−
Basics of electrical engineering
−
Knowledge of the country-specific regulations
and standards (in Germany e.g.
DIN 57100/VDE 0100, Part 701)
−
Knowledge of the relevant safety regulations
−
Knowledge of the relevant legal regulations for
gas installations (in Germany e.g. the technical
regulations for gas installations TRGI).
•
Only use the device if it is connected and fused
according to the technical data.
•
Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
•
Do not operate the device with a damaged
electrical connection cable.
•
Disconnect the device from the current supply in
the event of malfunctions.
•
The mains plug must be freely accessible so that
the device can be easily and quickly disconnected
from the mains power supply in an emergency. If
the mains plug is inaccessible following
installation, an all-pole isolating device with a
contact opening of at least 3 mm must be
provided in the installation.
•
If the device is brought into a warm environment
from a cold environment, moisture may form
inside the device. In this case, wait for
approximately two to three hours before starting
up the device.
•
Avoid exposing the device to dripping or splashing
water. Never place objects filled with fluids, such
as e.g. vases, on the device.
•
Keep the device dry.
•
If fluid nevertheless enters the device:
−
Immediately shut off the current supply by
removing the fuse.
−
Make sure that the device's current supply
cannot be unintentionally reactivated. E.g.
designate a person to prevent the fuse from
being switched on.
−
Allow the device to dry.
−
Have the device checked and repaired by
trained, specialist personnel before using the
device again.
Avoiding risk of explosion
•
Do not operate the device in an explosive
environment.
Avoiding fire hazard
•
Make sure that the cooker top has cooled down
before covering it.
A soiled device may cause fire hazards.
•
Keep the device in flawless condition and check it
regularly.
•
Regularly remove any grease residues which are
present. Grease residues pose a fire hazard.
•
Do not flambé beneath the device. Naked flames
may e.g. damage neighbouring cupboards.
•
Only have repair work on the device carried out
by personnel trained for this purpose.
In recirculated air mode:
•
A covered or sealed ventilation outlet may cause
fire hazards. Do not place any objects such as
e.g. cloths or plates on or in front of the device's
ventilation slits. In the case of recirculated air
devices, outflowing air must be able to escape
back into the kitchen through the ventilation slits
without impediments.
•
No objects which may impede the air flow may be
installed above the device. Make sure that the
outflowing air is able to flow into the kitchen
without impediments.
