■
When frying potatoes using raw po-
tato discs or frying potato fritters in
a frying pan, it is better to use mar-
garine (with a minimum fat content
of 80 %) or oil with a little margarine
instead of pure oil.
■
Brushing baked goods with egg
whites or egg yolks helps to reduce
the formation of acrylamide.
Safe handling of glass ceramic
hobs
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
If the surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid electric shock
(switch off and/or unscrew fuse).. Wa-
ter that runs through cracks inside the
glass ceramic hob may be live! Con-
tact our Service.
■
Do not allow objects to fall onto the
glass ceramic. Even small objects may
cause a great deal of damage if they
come into contact with glass ceramic
in a punctiform manner.
■
Do not use a steam cleaner or pres-
sure washer to clean the device.
Steam could get through cracks into
live electrical components of the hob
and cause short-circuiting.
CAUTION
Risk of injury for children!
Children can hurt themselves on the hob
when they play over, on and around it.
■
Do not store items that could be of
interest to children in the storage
space above or behind the hob. Chil-
dren could be encouraged to climb
onto the hob.
■
Do not leave pot/pan handles stick-
ing out over the edge of the worktop;
this ensures children cannot reach up
and pull down the cookware.
Risk of burns!
The cooking zones get very hot during
operation and will remain hot after
they are switched off.
■
Metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed
on the hob surface since they can get
hot.
■
The cooking zones remain hot after
they are switched off; this is indicated
by the residual heat indicator.
■
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.
