Operating Instructions

1Safety

The safety aspects of this appliance comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety instructions.

Electrical Safety

•The installation and connection of the new appli- ance must only be carried out by qualified person- nel.

•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or seri- ous malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repair- ing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

3Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage that may occur.

•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable installation cabi- nets and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of German Electrical Engi- neers].

•If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:

–switch off all cooking zones,

–disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

Special Notes on Induction Cooking Zones

•Scientific studies have shown that patients who are fitted with implanted pacemakers are not nor- mally affected or put at risk by our induction cook- ing zones.

The distance between the body and the cooking zone should, however, 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, cassettes) on the ceramic glass sur- face while one or more induction cooking zones are in use!

•Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the induction 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 impaired 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 instructions in this manual.

Child Safety

The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep small children away from the appliance.

Safety During Use

•This appliance may only be used for normal cook- ing and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

•Do not use the hob to heat the room.

•Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.

•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.
