The safety aspects of this appliance comply with the accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we also
consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of the
following safety information.
Electrical Safety
• The new appliance may only be installed and connected up by qualified personnel, according to the manufacturers instructions and to
the relevant country standards.
Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover
any damage that may occur.
• Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by approved service engineers. Improper repairs can cause injury or significant malfunction. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local
AEG Service Force Centre.
• If your appliance malfunctions or fractures and cracks or splits
appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– Disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
36
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when the hob is in use. Therefore,
always keep small children away.
The hob is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to
play near or with the hob
Safety During Use
• This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes
• Do not use the hob to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging electrical appliances into mains sockets near
the hob. Connecting 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 the cooking zones off after use.
Operating Instructions
• In the case of a mains failure that lasts more than 1 sec., all settings
and indications are cleared. In this situation, care should be taken as
hot cooking zones will no longer be indicated by the residual heat
indicators.
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.
How to Avoid Damage to Your Appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans, or without pans.
• 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.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases that are rough
or burred. Scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching may occur or the
paint damaged.
• Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or scale
remover do not come into contact with the hob frame, otherwise
matt spots will appear.
• If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact with a hot
cooking zone and then melts, remove the soiling immediately whilst
still hot using a scraper. If it cools, damage to the surface may occur
on removal.
• Keep all items and materials that can 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 also
be removed immediately using the scraper.
• If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the
process and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.
