Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the
relevant safety regulations.
• Connecting the appliance to the mains and repairing and
servicing the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician according to currently-valid safety regulations. For
your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a qualified
service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.
General information on the hob
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which
have been switched on. Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there
is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Take care when using simmering pans as simmering water
may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to
the hob for which no liability will be assumed.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Always
supervise the preparation of food with fats and oils. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on the
pan and switch off the cooking zone.
• The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust. You
should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto the glass
ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your hob might
break it.
• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass
ceramic hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
fuse immediately and call Customer Service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor
control immediately disconnect your appliance and call
Customer Service.
• Take care when working with home appliances! Connecting
cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking zones.
Keep everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in
particular sugar and sugary foods away from hot cooking
zones. Use a special glass scraper to immediately remove any
sugar from the ceramic hob (when it is still hot) in order to
avoid damaging the hob.
• Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat deformable
objects directly underneath the hob.
• Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins of food
or packaging made of material compounds. The power supply
may cause them to burst!
• Keep the sensor buttons clean since the appliance may
consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything (pans,
tea towels etc.) onto the sensor buttons!
• If food boils over onto the sensor buttons, we advise you to
activate the OFF button.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor buttons, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.
• Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can
ignite!
• Avoid repeated burning of contaminations.
• Lime deposits are harmful to the griddle/hob.
Information on the griddle/hob
• Be extremely careful when operating the grilling mode. Heat
from the heating element will heat up the hob and the food you
are grilling, so it is advisable to use oven gloves and tongs.
• Hot fat may squirt out of food that has been pricked, such as
sausages. Use tongs to prevent burns to your skin and
particularly to avoid getting hot fat into your eyes.
• Supervise the grilling procedure at all times.
• Always make sure that children are kept well away!
• Never use silicone-containing cleansing agents to clean the
grilling surface! Please observe the cleaning and servicing
instructions.
• We would like to indicate that scratches on the griddle/hob
caused by improper cleaning or cutting with knives do not have
a negative influence on the operation of the device. They
merely impair the appearance of the appliance.
Concerning persons
• Caution!
People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must only be
allowed to operate it under supervision. Small children must
always be kept away from the hob. Never allow them to play
with the appliance.
• Attention:
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot
during use. Keep small children away at all times.
