Environmental protection

❏ We are constantly developing new solutions and

technology which reduce energy consumption and spare natural resources, thus actively contributing to the protection of the environment.

❏ In order to save on energy, we recommend that

you follow the tips on choice and use of dishes which are given in these operating instructions.

Important information

❏ Your new appliance was protected by suitable

packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials used for this purpose are environmentfriendly and suitable for recycling. Please make a contribution to protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.

❏ Old appliances are not wortheless rubbish!

Environment-conscious recycling can reclaim valuable raw materials. Before disposing of your old appliance, please make sure that it is unusable, or label it with a sticker stating "Caution: This appliance is defective!"

❏ Up-to-date information concerning options for

disposing of your old appliance and the packaging from the new one can be obtained from your retailer or local municipal office.

Notes on disposal

Before connecting your new appliance

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using your new hob for the first time. The instructions contain important information with regard to user safety and appliance use and care.

❏ Your appliance should only be connected to the

mains electricity supply by an authorised electrician. The electrician should ensure that the appliance is correctly installed in compliance with the regulations and legal considerations in force in your country.

General safety information

❏ This appliance complies with all regulations

relevant to electrical appliances. Repairs should only be carried out by service engineers trained by the manufacturer. Repairs that have not been carried out properly represent a considerable hazard to the user.

❏ This appliance must be used for the preparation

of food only.

❏ The hob and pans or utensils can become very

hot while it is in use. Make sure that children

are always kept away from the hob.

❏ Remain in the vicinity of the food when cooking

with fat or oil. Oil that overheats can ignite. Never add water to burning fat or oil. Risk of fire! In the event of fire, extinguish the flames by covering the cookware. Switch off the hotplate, and leave the cookware to cool.

Warning!

❏ You must not store any combustible items or

spray cans beneath the hob.

❏ The connecting cords of electrical appliances

must not come into contact with the hot cooking surfaces. This could result in damage to the connecting cord’s insulating jacket.

❏ In the event that a drawer is located beneath the

hob, you must not store any combustible items in this drawer. Do not place any combustible items on top of the hob.

❏ In the event that cracks, tears or fissures appear

on the hob, the appliance must be switched off immediately. Always switch off the appliance via the cooker fuse or the circuit-breaker in the fuse box or, where applicable, by removing the cooker plug.

❏ Please retain these operating and installation

instructions. The envelope for the operating instructions contains details of the after-sales service which you may need to call if repairs are required. Please submit the operating and installation instructions to any subsequent user of the appliance.

❏ Do not operate the hob if transport damage is

apparent.

Notes

❏ To comply with relevant safety regulations, the

fitter must install a disconnection device with open poles with an opening of at least 3 mm. This step is not necessary when connection is done through a plug, if the plug is accessible to the user and the plug is earthed.

Warning!

❏ The saucepan base and the hotplate must be dry

whilst cooking. Any liquid between the cookware base and the hotplate will vaporize. The ensuing steam pessure can cause the saucepan to jump violently. Risk of injury!

❏ Observe the residual heat indicator. This

provides an indication of which hotplates are still hot.

❏ Do not place food wrapped in silver foil, cutlery,

cooking-receptacle lids or any other kind of metal object on the induction cooking hob. Should the appliance be connected for any reason, these objects will heat up very quickly and may produce burns.

❏ A slight buzzing can be heard while the cooking

zones are heating up. Individual cooking zones may glow more brightly than others. There are technical reasons for this and they have no effect on quality or function.

❏ The hob is surrounded by a thick elastic seal. It

is possible therefore, depending on the surface of the worktop, that there will be a small uneven gap between the worktop and the hob. This does not however have a detrimental effect on the function of the seal.

❏ Irregularities on the surface are a natural

characteristic of glass-ceramic products. The hob’s mirror finish can mean that even the smallest bubble, less than 1 mm in diameter, is more or less visible. They neither impair the performance nor the durability of the glass hob.

This appliance is in full compliance with electromagnetic safety and compatibility standards. Persons fitted with pacemakers, hearing aids or other similar devices are not, however, recommended to use the appliance given the impossibility of guaranteeing that 100% of such devices available on the market comply with these same standards. It is, therefore, not possible to rule out interference which may adversely affect the correct working order of such devices.
