How to prevent damage to your appliance
Utensils
qIn the event that a drawer is located beneath the hob, you must not store any combustible items or spray cans in the drawer. Do not place any combustible items on top of the hob.
qIf any cracks, fissures or other breaks appear on the hob, it must be rendered inoperable immediately. The hob should be switched off either via the cooker fuse or circuit+breaker in the main fuse box, or unplugged from its source of power, whichever is applicable.
qCaution! The saucepan base and the hotplate must be dry whilst cooking. Any liquid between the cookware base and the hotplate will vaporize. The ensuing steam pressure can cause the saucepan to jump violently. Risk of injury!
qObserve the residual heat indicator. This provides an indication of which hotplates are still hot.
qSwitch off the hotplate if the indicator does not work when the hotplate is heating.
Call the after+sales service.
Please heed the following information in order to pre+ vent damage to your hob and to keep it in good con+ dition:
qPots and pans should not have a rough base otherwise they will scratch the cooking zone.
qDo not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic containers as the material will melt and stick to the hob.
qDo not let enamel pans boil dry as this could damage the base of the pan and the glass+ ceramic.
qIf you are using special utensils, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
