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.

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom
should be as thick and flat as possible.

• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can
leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impos­sible to remove.

Energy saving

2 Always place cookware on the cooking

zone before it is switched on.

2 If possible, always place lids on the pans.

2 Switch cooking zones off before the end of

the cooking time, to take advantage of re­sidual heat.

2 Bottom of pans and cooking zones should

be the same size.

The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are
to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regu­lations, etc.)

Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers
may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a
suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap.
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot
cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.

z Risk of injury from electrical current.

• The electrical mains terminal is live.

• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.

• Follow connection schematic.

• Observe electrical safety rules.

• Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.

• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified elec-

trician.

z Risk of injury from electrical current.

• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal
overheat.

• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.

• Use strain relief clamp on cable.

• In the event of single-phase or two-phase connection, the appropriate mains

cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C(or higher) must be used.
