Induction Hob
Safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:
Ensure that the appliance, the power cable 
and the power plug are NEVER submersed
in water or other fluids.
•Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
•If the power cable or the power plug are damaged, have them replaced by Customer Services before continuing to use the device.
•Always remove the power plug from the wall socket after use. Simply switching the appliance off is not sufficien, as the appliance is under power for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.
•Protect the cooker from damages: Do not burden it irregularly and do not allow objects to fall onto it. The appliance may not be taken into use if eit- her the hob or the housing is damaged. Immedi- ately remove the plug from the power socket and arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
•Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
To avoid the risks of fire or injury:
•Do not touch the area at which a hot cooking vessel has just been standing. Directly after cooking, this area could be very hot.
•Overheated foodstuffs could begin to burn! Never let the appliance be in use without super- vision.
•Additionally, NEVER position the appliance be- low inflammable objects, especially not below curtains or drapes.
•NEVER heat up a securely closed container. Through heat expansion it could quickly cause an explosion.
•NEVER heat up an empty container. This would very quickly overheat - presenting both the risk of fire and of serious damage to the hob.
•Do not place any metallic objects on the induc- tion area, such as kitchen utensils or pieces of cutlery. They can become very hot in the energy area.
•This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physio- logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•Be careful when heating small volumes of coo- king oils – do not select a high power level. Should you do so, the oil could begin to burn and start a conflagration!
•Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
•NEVER operate the appliance on a metallic table or other metallic surface. This could heat up, and thus lead to either the outbreak of a fire or the ap- pliance being damaged beyond repair.
Attention! Hot surfaces!
This symbol warns you not to touch the cooking area directly after use. Risk of Burns!
To avoid risks and dangers caused by electromagnetic fields:
•Maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter to appliances that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (e.g. displays, clocks, magnetic storage media, electronic devices etc.).
