Operating Instructions
1 Safety instructions
This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:
5
– 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive
– 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending
Directive 92/31/EEC
– 93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive
Electrical safety
• This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.
• In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ce-
ramic (cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off
and disconnected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility
of an electric shock.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified serv-
ice engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs.
If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or
your dealer.
Child Safety
• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety during use
• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking,
roasting and baking of food.
• Do not use the cooking surface to heat up the room.
• Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods
in fat or oil (e. g. chips), you should watch the cooking process.
• If you are using cookware with a long handle, turn the handle so that
it does not project over the ring. Make sure that the handle is not positioned over a hot or warm cooking zone.
• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this
appliance. Electrical leads should not be allowed to come near the
rings or to become caught under the hot oven door.
• Switch the cooking zones off after each use.
• Warning: Danger of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven be-
come very hot during use.
5
• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful
when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or
naked flames when doing so.
3 Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest
possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• The cooking surface must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.
• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty cookware or without
cookware.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e. g. vinegar, lemon or limescale removing agents, get onto the edges of the cooking surface, as otherwise this will cause matt patches.
• Pointed objects and hard objects that fall onto the cooking surface
can damage it.
• Keep all objects and materials that might melt well away from the
glass ceramic surface, e. g. plastics, tin foils or oven foils. If, however,
something should melt onto the glass ceramic surface, this must be
removed immediately with the scraper.
• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking
trays, pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel.
• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you
will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.
• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.
• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could
cause damage to or discoloration of the enamel.
• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can
cause the glass to break.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven is switched on.
• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.
