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 do-
mestic 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 ap-
pliance 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 oper-
ated 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– or the mains fuse is withdrawn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 indicator 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 ce-
ramic 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 alumium 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 pronounced 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 permanent damage to the surface and to
components, for which the manufacturer of the oven cannot accept any
responsibility.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended 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 damage 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 ceramic 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 suffi-
ciently 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 throughout 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.
