Avoiding property damage
4
Faults or damage to the appliance and re-
pairs that have not been carried out correctly
are dangerous.
▶
Never switch on the appliance if there is a
fault with it.
▶
Always have repairs carried out to the ap-
pliance and damaged gas lines replaced
by trained, specialist personnel.
Strong temperature fluctuations may cause
the glass to break.
▶
When using the hob, avoid draughts and
spilling cold liquids.
The production process and characteristics of
tempered glass determine that there may be
a very small probability of spontaneous break-
age.
▶
Wear protective gloves.
▶
Call customer service.
Cookware that is not the right size, or that is
damaged or incorrectly positioned may cause
serious injuries.
▶
See the notes on cookware.
An appliance with a cracked or broken sur-
face can cause cuts.
▶
Do not use the appliance if it has a cracked
or broken surface.
2 Avoiding property damage
ATTENTION!
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶
Use only the original accessories specified.
If there is strong wind interference when using the gas
hob, the burner flames may be affected and the hob
may not work properly.
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units. If the appliance is in operation for an exten-
ded period, heat and moisture will be generated.
▶
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
ing to the outside.
Moisture ingress may damage the control knobs.
▶
Do not use wet sponges or cloths.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
▶
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
when the appliance is not being used.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Cover saucepans with
suitable lids.
Cooking without a lid con-
sumes far more energy.
Lift the lid as infrequently
as possible when stewing
or braising.
When you lift the lid, a lot
of energy escapes.
Select a suitable pan ac-
cording to the amount of
ingredients.
More energy will be con-
sumed when using a
large pan to heat a small
amount of food.
Cook with an appropriate
amount of water.
The more water in the
pan, the more energy is
required to heat it up.
