Warranty

This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and succeeding owners for
products purchased for ordinary home use. It does not cover its use in a
commercial situation. Should the appliance be sold by the original purchaser
during the warranty period, the new owner will continue to be protected until
the expiration date of the original purchaser’s warranty period. Save your dated
receipt or other evidence of the installation/occupancy date. Proof of original
purchase date is needed to obtain service under warranty. The warranty
applies even if the owner should move during the warranty period.

KÜPPERSBUSCH does not assume any responsibility for consequential or
incidental damages. This warranty provides you with certain legal rights. You
may also have other rights which may vary from state to state.

What Is Covered

For one full year from the date of the original purchase, we will provide parts,
service and labor in your home to repair or replace any part of the grill that
fails because of a defect in materials or workmanship. This service is provided
free of charge. All warranty service will be provided by our authorized
Customer Care professionals during normal business hours.

What Isn’t Covered

1. Service by an unauthorized agency will not be reimbursed. Likewise, the
warranty doesn't cover any damage or repairs due to service performed by
an unauthorized agency, or by the use of unauthorized parts.

electrical wiring and other connecting facilities.

abuse or installation not in accordance with local electrical codes, or
improper storage of the appliance.

Disposing of the packaging and
the old appliance

have a negative impact on the environment. Recycling the packaging saves
raw materials and reduces the amount of waste.

Be sure to dispose of your old appliance properly, as well. Even if it can no
longer be used, it still contains useful materials. Before discarding an old
appliance, disconnect the power cord and remove the door to prevent it from
becoming a hazard.

Safety instructions

■ The grilling surface must be built into a countertop opening! Do not

use the appliance if it has not been installed!

■ Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician.

■ The appliance may only be installed and connected to the power

supply, maintained, and repaired by a qualified electrician in
accordance with safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.
Work performed incorrectly puts your safety at risk.

■ Danger of burning! The grilling top becomes hot

during operation.

CAUTION! Keep children away

from this appliance.

■ The grilling surface is designed for grilling food. No other use -

especially cooking with pots and pans - is allowed.

■ Don’t switch the cooking surface on unless you’re using it for cooking.

Never use the appliance to heat a room!

■ Do not touch the griling surface or areas near it. The grilling surface

may be hot even thought it is dark in colour. Areas near it may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact them until
they have had time enough to cool.

■ Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.

Do not place combustible or inflammable objects upon the grilling
surface which might be dangerous in case of unintentional switching
on.

■ This appliance is to be used for residential use only. Use for any other

purpose is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper use of this appliance.

■ The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily withstand

light to medium impacts and loads distributed over large areas. Be
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling on
the surface to avoid cracking or breaking the grilling surface.

■ CAUTION! If the grilling surface becomes cracked or fractured, quit

using the appliance immediately. Disconnect the power and call
Customer Service. Cleaning solutions and other fluids like grease or
others may penetrate the broken grilling surface and create a risk of
electric shock.

■ Never flambé under the cooker hood - the fat in the filter can

ignite!

■ The connecting cable must not contact the hot grilling surface.

■ Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces

may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch a hot
surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■ Never leave the grilling surface unattended at high heat settings -

overheated greases and oils may ignite themselves.

■ CAUTION! Overheated greases and oils may ignite themselves.

Prepare meals with greases and oils very carefully and control the
heat. Should fats or oils ignite, do not use water to extinguish them!
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

■ CAUTION! Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabi-

nets above a grilling surface. A child can be seriously injured by
climbing on a grilling surface to reach items.

■ Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or un-

attended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not

be stored in an oven or near surface units.

■ Do not place non-food items on the grilling surface when it’s hot.

■ Be careful when working with attachments! The connecting cord

must not contact the hot grilling surface.

■ Do not put kitchen foil or plastic on the grilling surface. Things

that can melt (i.e. plastics, foils or sugar), must be kept away from
the grilling surface. Be sure to immediately remove or lift off any
melted item from the hot grilling surface. Use the supplied
cleaning scraper in order to avoid damage to the grilling surface.

■ Clean and remove any burned on materials. Do not heat these

materials repeatedly.

■ Lime deposits are harmful to the grilling surface.

■ Never use cleansers containing silicone to clean the grilling surface!

Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions carefully!

■ If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,

be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
