Overheated oil and fat

Hot hotplates

Wet saucepan bases and hotplates

It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently, selecting a suitable power level and stirring the contents before and during cooking.

Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Risk of fire!

Never leave heating oil or fat unsupervised.

Should the oil ignite, do not try to put it out by pouring water on it.

Cover the pan with a lid or plate immediately. Switch off the hotplate.

Leave the ovenware on the hotplate to cool down.

Do not touch hot hotplates. There is a risk of burning. Children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. The residual heat indicator warns you that the hotplates are hot.

Never place combustible items on the hob. Risk of fire!

You must not keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the hob. Risk of fire!

The service cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot hotplates. This could cause damage to the hob and the cable insulation.

Steam pressure can be generated from the liquid between the base of the saucepan and the hotplate. The steam pressure could cause the pan to jump suddenly. There is a risk of injury.

Always keep the hotplate and the bases of saucepans dry.

Cracks in the glass ceramic If there are fractures, flaws or cracks in the glass ceramic, there is a risk of electric shock.

Switch off the appliance immediately.

Do not place metal objects on the induction hob

Do not leave food wrapped in silver foil, cutlery, lids or other metal utensils on the hob. If the appliance is switched on by mistake, these objects will heat up very quickly and could cause burns.

Taking care of the cooling fan

This hob comes with a cooling fan mounted underneath. Be careful! If a drawer is fitted beneath the hob you must not keep small objects or paper in it as, if they are picked up, they could damage the cooling fan or affect the cooling system. Silver foil and flammable materials or liquids (for example sprays) must not be kept in the drawer or near the hob. There is a risk of explosion!

There should be a minimum distance of 2 cm between the drawer contents and the cooling fan.

Reasons for damage

Saucepan and pan bases

Hot pans and saucepans

Salt, sugar and sand

Hard and pointed objects

Food spills

Foil and plastic

Never use the hob instead of the kitchen unit worktop as a support or work surface.

Rough pan bases scratch the glass ceramic. Check your ovenware.

It is very important that cookware placed on an acti0 vated hob has liquid or food inside of it. Although your hob is equipped with an internal safety system, empty cookware can heat up so quickly that the "automatic OFF" function does not have time to react and may reach a very high temperature. The cookware base could also melt and damage the hob's glass surface. If this happens, do not touch the cookware and turn off the hob. If, after cooling, it does not work, please contact customer service".

Never place hot pans or saucepans on the control panel, display area or the frame.

This could cause damage.

Salt, sugar and sand cause scratches on the glass ceramic. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.

Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.

Do not store such objects above the hob.

Sugar and food with a high sugar content damage the hob. Remove food spills immediately with a glass scraper.

Caution The glass scraper has a sharp blade.

Aluminium foil or plastic containers melt on hot hobs. Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
