Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise
cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
Switch off the cooking zones after use.

Special Notes on Induction Cooking ZonesZones

Scientific studies have shown that patients who are fitted with im-
planted pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our
induction cooking zones.
The distance between the body and the cooking zone should, howev-
er, never be less than 30 cm!
Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere
with portable transistor radios.
Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards, cas-
settes) on the glass ceramic surface while one or more induction
cooking zones are in use!
Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the induc-
tion surface as they can be warmed up when the induction surface is
in use.
3Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking
zones. This is not a fault in the hob and its function will not be im-
paired in any way as a result.

Safety When Cleaning

For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high
pressure cleaner.
Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in-
structions in this manual.

To Avoid Damaging Your Appliance

Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans
are empty.
Ceramic glass is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust;
however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that
fall on the cooking surface can damage it.
Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to
the paint may occur.
