IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Damage protection
Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, this may
damage the electronics.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Even lightweight objects may cause damage.
Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on
the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can cause scratches. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.
To prevent damage to the cooktop do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an empty pan unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so.
Before using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other
glazed cookware verify that they can be used on a cooking surface.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall
on the burners when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking may occur.
Any spills should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
