Warning and Safety instructions

￿For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

￿Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

￿Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

￿Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

￿Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the appliance. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning.

Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire.

Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge.

Switch the cooking zones off after use.

￿Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

￿Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could catch fire.

￿Never heat an empty pan unless the manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. Because induction heating works extremely quickly the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time.

￿Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

￿Never place hot pans on the area

around the controls. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.

￿Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
