9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Fire Safety

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

-You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

-The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

-The fire department is being called.

-You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Do not touch interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior drawer could become hot enough to cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if equipped) to cool before handling.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure rack is installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in to contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

Electromagnetic Interference

WARNING

This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by:

Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the receiver.

Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the receiver.

It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.

CAUTION

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.

WARNING

HAZARD DUE TO MAGNETISM

The probe is magnetic. The magnetic elements can damage electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. People with electronic implants should therefore not put the temperature sensor in the pockets of their clothes and should maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) with respect to their pacemaker or similar medical device.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

; The appliance will become very hot on the outside during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children away from the appliance.

Notes

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During Self Clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Notes

Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use proper pan size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops. See Cookware Selection Guide.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

CAUTION

Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct contact with the drawer or hot utensil. If it melts on to the drawer, it may not be removable.

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY

When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use only heat-resistant cookware.

WARNING

DANGER OF INJURY

Cookware may spring or bounce upward due to fluid trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom dry.

Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substance known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

1.Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

2.Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.

3.Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Food Safety

CAUTION

To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:

a.DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food. It is safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates.

b.Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.

c.DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Proposition 65 Warning:

This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may bear the following label as required by California:

Causes of Damage

9WARNING

RISK OF INJURY

NOTICES

DO NOT place accessories or items such as foil, greaseproof paper, oven liners or bakeware on the oven cavity floor. This will cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

Aluminum foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass. This could cause permanent discoloration of the door glass.

Aluminum foil and plastic will melt in hot cooking areas. Stove protective film is not suitable for your cooktop.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create risk of electric shock.

Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.

Salt, sugar and grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down.

Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.

Hard or sharp objects falling off the cooktop may damage it.

Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper once the cooktop has had sufficient time to cool.

Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepe Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

When baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.

Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.

Do not use the appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

Depending on the appliance type, accessories can scratch the door glass when closing the door. Always slide accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.

Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

Protecting the Environment

Your new appliance is energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

Saving Energy

Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.

Use baking tins that are dark-colored, painted black or have an enamel coating. They absorb the heat particularly well.

Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible when the appliance is in use.

It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can place two cake tins next to each other in the cooking compartment.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.

The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted.

Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan’s upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan’s base.

Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use more energy.

Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.

Select a lower power level.

When cooking, ensure that there is sufficient supply air so that the extractor hood works efficiently and quietly.

Fan level adjust to the intensity of the cooking fumes. Only use the high mode if necessary. A lower fan level means lower energy consumption.

With intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan level early on. Cooking fumes that are already distributed in the kitchen mean that the extractor hood will have to be operated longer.

Switch off the extractor hood when it is no longer required.

Switch off the lighting when it is no longer required.

Clean and change the filter at the specified intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation and prevent a risk of fire.

Recommendations

When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.

Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.

When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware.

Settings table

After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.

To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen timer can be used to set the optimum cooking time.

For healthier cooking results, oil or grease should not be heated until it smokes.

To brown food, fry small portions in succession.

Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use pot holders.

You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in section “Protecting the Environment”.

The following table provides some examples. Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

9CAUTION

During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually heating the food at a suitable power level.

9CAUTION

Never leave oil or fat cooking unattended.

Place the pan in the center of the element. Make sure that the base of the pan has the proper diameter.

Do not cover the pan with a lid. The automatic regulation will not work. A mash splatter guard can be used without affecting the automatic regulation.

Only use fat or oil that is suitable for frying. When you are using butter, margarine, olive oil or pork lard, select the min temperature setting.

AutoChef® is not suitable for boiling.

Suitable pans for AutoChef®

Suitable frying pans for use with AutoChef® are available as optional accessories. Only use pans that are suitable for use with AutoChef®. You can buy our system pans in specialized stores, or through our Customer Support.

Always indicate the related reference code.

HEZ390210 (Small)

HEZ390220 (Medium)

HEZ390230 (Large)

The frying pans have a non-stick coating, which means that very little oil is needed for frying.

9CAUTION

The AutoChef® function was set especially for this type of frying pan.

Other frying pans may overheat. The temperature can be set higher or lower. Try the lowest heat setting first and then change it according to your requirements.

Make sure that the diameter of the base of the frying pan corresponds to the size of the element. Place the pan in the center of the element.
