Safety instructions

Please note:

Beware of children in the vicinity as the warning lights indicating residual heat are out of their line of sight. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. Make sure that children never touch the hob.

DUE TO THE RAPID REACTION IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY HIGH COOKING TEMPERATURES (POWER LEVEL), DO NOT LEAVE THE INDUCTION HOB UNATTENDED WHEN SWITCHED ON.

BE AWARE OF HOW RAPIDLY THE COOKING ZONES HEAT UP. DO NOT PLACE SAUCEPANS ON THE HEAT WHEN EMPTY AS THEY MAY OVERHEAT.

DO NOT PUT EMPTY SAUCEPANS AND FRYING PANS ON COOKING ZONES WHICH HAVE BEEN SWITCHED ON.

TAKE CARE WHILE USING 'BAIN MARIE'-TYPE SAUCEPANS AS THE WATER CAN BOIL AWAY WITHOUT THE USER REALISING. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SAUCEPAN AND THE HOB FOR WHICH WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE.

AFTER USE, TURN OFF THE COOKING ZONE IMMEDIATELY BY PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTON (MINUS) NOT JUST USING SAUCEPAN RECOGNITION.

FAT AND OIL CAN CATCH FIRE IF THEY OVERHEAT. YOU ARE THEREFORE RECOMMENDED NOT TO LEAVE THE HOB WHILE PREPARING FOODS CONTAINING OIL OR FAT. IF OIL OR FAT CATCHES FIRE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH IT WITH WATER. PLACE THE LID ON THE SAUCEPAN AND TURN OFF THE COOKING ZONE.

THE GLASS CERAMIC SURFACE IS HIGHLY RESISTANT TO IMPACTS. HOWEVER, AVOID HARD, SOLID OBJECTS FALLING ON THE COOKING SURFACE AS THEY MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK IF THEY ARE SHARP.

IF IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE HOB DUE TO A SENSOR FAULT IN THE CONTROL, IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES. CONNECTION CABLES MUST NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH HOT COOKING ZONES.

THE GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE MUST NOT BE USED AS A SURFACE FOR PLACING OBJECTS.

NEVER PLACE METAL OBJECTS, SUCH AS DISHES OR CUTLERY, ON THE INDUCTION HOB SURFACE AS THEY MAY OVERHEAT. DANGER OF BURNS!

NEVER PLACE FLAMMABLE, READILY EXPLOSIVE OR DEFORMABLE OBJECTS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE HOB.

BE CAREFUL WITH METAL OBJECTS WHICH COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE BODY AS THEY MAY OVERHEAT IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE HOB. DANGER OF BURNS! THE SAME RISK DOES NOT APPLY TO NON-MAGNETISABLE OBJECTS SUCH AS GOLD AND SILVER RINGS.

NEVER HEAT SEALED PRESERVATION CONTAINERS AND MULTI-LAYER PACKAGES ON THE COOKING ZONES. THE ENERGY TRANSFERRED COULD CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE.

ENSURE THAT THE SENSOR BUTTONS ARE ALWAYS KEPT CLEAN AS THE APPLIANCE MAY INTERPRET DIRTY MARKS AS AN INTENTIONAL FINGER CONTACT. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS OF ANY KIND (SAUCEPANS, TOWELS, ETC.) ON THE SENSORS. IF FOOD OVERFLOWS ONTO THE SENSOR BUTTONS, YOU ARE ADVISED TO TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE.
