Keep children below the age of
8 years old at a safe distance from the appliance and power cable.
■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.
■The hob switches off automatically and can no longer be operated. It may switch on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
■The hotplates and the area around them get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children away.
■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.
■After each use, always turn off the hob at the main switch. Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically after the pan is removed.
■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.
■Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

■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.
This appliance complies with safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. However, people with pacemakers or insulin pumps must refrain from using this appliance. It is impossible to ensure that all of these devices available on the market comply with current electromagnetic compatibility standards, and that interference which may prevent the device from working correctly will not occur. It is also possible that people with other types of devices, such as a hearing
■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.
aids, could experience some discomfort.
There should be a minimum of
2 cm between the contents of the drawer and fan intake.
■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.
■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.

Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a way that no damage is caused to the environment.
This appliance conforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC. This directive defines the framework for recycling used appliances within European territory
■Always place the correct 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 hotplate. 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 a lot of energy.
■Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
■Select a lower power level.
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 immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off.
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these may be made from:
■enamelled steel
■cast iron
■special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to it.
There are other types of cookware especially made for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic zone, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed.
Cookware with aluminium on the base reduce the ferromagnetic zone, so less heat may be supplied or be difficult to detect.
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.
Never use pans made from:
■common thin steel
■glass
■earthenware
■copper
■aluminium
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.
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.
