Warning and safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.

Do not let children access the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

The appliance is intended for domestic use to cook food. Any other

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

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that

the voltage and frequency correspond to the rating on the data plate. Consult a competent person if in doubt.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

This appliance must only be operated as a built-in appliance. This is

necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably

qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply

when:

it is switched off at the wall socket

or the mains fuse is withdrawn

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable)

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Warning and safety instructions

Use

Caution, danger of burning!

High temperatures are produced by the hob cooking areas.

Great care should be taken to ensure that small children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. The hob can become quite hot. Turn pan handles away from the edge to prevent children from pulling pans over.

When switched on the cooking areas heat up. A residual heat indi-

cator shows whether a cooking zone is hot.

Apart from pans with contents do not place any metallic object on

the hob. It could heat up. There is a danger of burning.

In the event of any breakages or cracks occurring in the ceramic

hob it must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply.

Contact the Service Department.

Do not use the hob until the damaged ceramic plate has been replaced. Continued use would be dangerous as liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate to the electrical components through any crack.

Do not use the hob as a resting place for any other objects. This could lead to a danger of the article catching fire or melting, if there is any

residual heat.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic hob.

Even a light object such as an egg cup, could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-

mium foil to get on to the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, turn to a lower setting but do not switch off. Immediately scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob with a shielded razor blade scraper, taking care not to burn yourself. If these residues are allowed to cool before the hob surface has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.

Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pro-

nounced edges or ridges.

These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

Do not push enamelled pots or pans such as chip pans across the

ceramic hob as this can cause scratches to occur.

Warning and safety instructions

General notes

Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-

nent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer of the oven cannot accept any responsibility.

Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oils and

fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures. Additionally they could dam-

age a ceramic hob as they melt.

Do not use the ceramic hob to heat up the room. Due to the high

temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob could catch fire.

When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the ce-

ramic hob, ensure that the cable cannot come in contact with the hot cooking zones, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many

factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throug-

hout the food being cooked.

This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

In countries which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.

Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions

Use of accessories

After using the scraper ensure the blade is shielded before putting it

away.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine switch off and disconnect it from

the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless.

Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Safety feature

Lock for hob

The hob lock can be used to prevent the cooking zones from being switched on inadvertently, when used either with the oven, or oven with built-in hob controls. It does not apply to the warming zone.

The operating instructions for the oven with built-in hob controls or the control unit describe how to set the hob lock.
