IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When properly cared for, your new
,
appliance has been designed to be safe and
reliable. Read all instructions carefully before
use. These precautions will reduce the risk of
burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic
safety precautions must be followed, including
those in the following pages.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,
be certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
,
GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface
element.
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.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cooking Safety

Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
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.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
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.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
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.
WARNING: Risk of burns:
,
If the appliance cover (VD 201) is fitted: do not
close the appliance cover until the appliance
has cooled down completely. Do not operate
the appliance with the cover closed. Do not use
the appliance cover for placing objects or for
keeping things warm.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.

, IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cookware Safety
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.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only
certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
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.

Tips and tricks
▯Only put on the food once the heating indicator
has gone out. This also applies to raising the
temperature between two preparations.
▯Press the meat, poultry and fish pieces flat onto
the frying surface with the spatula. Only turn them
once they can easily be removed from the surface,
in order to not destroy the fibers. Otherwise fluid
can come out, which causes the food to dry out.
▯Meat, poultry and fish pieces shouldn't touch
each other during frying so that they don't absorb
any liquid.
▯Don't pierce or cut meat prior to or during
cooking, in order to prevent meat juice from
escaping.
▯Don't salt meat, poultry and fish prior to frying, in
order to prevent the extraction of water and
soluble nutrients.
▯Fish fillet can be rolled in flour (floured) prior to
frying. This prevents it from sticking as much.
▯Only turn fish fillet once if possible. First fry it on
the skin side.
▯Only use oils and fats that can be heated up hot
and are suitable for frying, e.g. refined plant oils
or concentrated butter (clarified butter).
Using the teppan yaki with
cookware
You can also use the teppan yaki for cooking with
cookware. It is appropriate for cooking with gentle
heat. You can first quickly heat up food on the stove if
necessary, and then continue cooking it on the teppan
yaki.
Approx. 280°F is sufficient for melting, thawing out
and keeping warm, approx. 320 - 400°F for soaking
rice and cereals and warming small portions.
Use heat-resistant cookware with a lid. Carefully place
the cookware on the heating surface so that you don't
accidentally scratch the stainless steel frame. Bear in
mind that this cooking procedure isn't energy-efficient
when the cookware is smaller than the heated surface.
