Important Safety Information

This Safety Information is provided in the interests
of your safety . Please read them carefully before
installing or using the hob. If you are unsure of the
meaning of any of the warnings please contact our
Customer Care Department.

The safety of this appliance corresponds to the
acknowledged rules of technique and to the law on
appliance safety. The safety measures existing as a
matter of self-understanding would, however, not cover
all of possible risks of accidents.

Moreover, we feel compelled as the manufacturer to
make you familiar with the following hints on safety.

Electrical Safety

D This appliance must be installed by qualified per-

sonnel, according to the manufacturer’s instruc­tion and to the relevant British Standards.

D Repairs to the appliance should only be carried

out by authorised service enginneers. Improper
repairs can lead to injury or serious malfunction.
If your appliance need repairing please contact
your local Service Force Centre.

Please observe this instruction, otherwise the
guarantee will not cover any damage that may
occur.

D Built--in appliances must be installed in built--in

cupboards and worktops. The cupboards have to
be located and fastened in a way that they are sta­ble.

D Ensure the electrical supply complies with the

type stated on the rating plate.

D Do not attempt to modify the hob in any way.

D Do not install the hob if the ceramic glass is dama-

ged or cracked.

D Do not use the hob if the ceramic glass is dama-

ged:

Child Safety

D This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Do not allow children to play near with the
appliance.

D Children can also injure temselves by pulling pots

or pans off the hob.

Safety during use

D This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It

is not designed for commercial or industrial
purposes.

D The appliance gets hot when in use.There is dan-

ger of burning if care is not taken, when using

the hob.

D Do not use the cooking zones to heat the room.

D Take care when plugging electrical items into

mains sockets near the hob. Connecting leads
must not come into connection with the hot
surface or vessels.

D Hot oils can ignite very quickly. Do not leave the

hob unattended when preparing foods in pans of
oil, i.e. frying chips.

D After use make sure that the appliance is

switched off.

Safety when cleaning

D Ensure that all heating zones are switched off

while cleaning the hob.

D For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with

a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.

How to avoid damaging your appliance

D Do not use the hob surface as a working surface

or for storage.

D Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans or

without pans. This could cause damage to the
pans or the hob.

D Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock

and very robust, however, it is not unbreakable.
Hard and sharp objects, in particular, can damage
the cooking surface if they fall on it.

D Do not use cast iron pots or pans with damaged

bases that are rough or burred. Scratching may
occur when the pans are slid.

D Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scrat-

ching may occur or the paint damaged.

D Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar,

lemon limescale removing agents do not come
into contact with the hob frame, otherwise matt
spots will appear.

D If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into con-

tact with a hot cooking zone and then melts, re­move the soiling immediately whilst still warm,
using a glass scraper. If it cools, damage to the
surface may occur.

D Keep all items and materials that melt away from

the ceramic glass surface, e.g. plastics, alumi­nium foil or oven foils. If something of this nature
should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it
must be removed immediately using a glass scra­per.
