Risk of fire!

■Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.

■The hotplates become very hot. Never place combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.

■The appliance gets hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.

Risk of burns!

■The hotplates and surrounding area (particularly the hob surround, if fitted) become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.

■The hotplate heats up but the display does not work. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

■Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the hob.

■Always switch the hob off using the controls after each use. Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically after the pan is removed.

Risk of electric shock!

■Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

■Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

■A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

■Cracks or fractures in the glass ceramic may cause electric shocks. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Malfunction risk!

The hob is equipped with a fan in the lower section. If there is a drawer under the hob it should not be used to store small objects or paper, since they could damage the fan or interfere with the cooling if they are sucked into it.

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

Risk of injury!

■When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heat-resistant cookware.

■Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the pan base and the hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry.

Elements that may damage the appliance

Caution!

■Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.

■Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so may cause damage.

■Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.

■Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.

■Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

Protecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Energy-saving advice

■Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

■Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.

■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.

■Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.

■Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

■Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:

■Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly.

■Energy is saved.

■Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly.

■Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power as soon as the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off.

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking; these may be made from:

■enamelled steel

■cast iron

■special stainless steel induction pans.

To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to its base.

There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.

When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic area, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed.

Pans with aluminium areas inserted in the base reduce the ferromagnetic area, so less heat may be supplied and the pan may be difficult to detect or not be detected at all.

For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down.

Unsuitable pans

Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:

■common thin steel

■glass

■earthenware

■copper

■aluminium

Characteristics of the pan base

The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

Absence of pan or unsuitable size

If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.

Empty pans or those with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan.
