Warning and Safety instructions
Warning and Safety instructions
Building in and connection
The appliance must be installed
and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for damage
caused by incorrect installation or connection.
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 safety 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 such as
an electric shock.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out be a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
Before installing and using the ap-
pliance for the first time, read the
operating and installation instructions carefully. They give information on
safety, on the operation and care of the
appliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
Use this appliance for the prepara-
tion of meals only. 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 or misuse of the appliance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from damage
Do not drop anything on the ap-
pliance. Even a light object such
as a salt cellar, could cause damage in
certain circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the ce-
ramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges. These could
scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can
also scratch.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get on the cooking zones
when they are hot. If this should occur,
switch off the hob and carefully scrape
off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob while it is still hot
using a shielded scraper blade.
Careful:
Danger of burning.
Take 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.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
Remove any soiling as quickly as
possible to prevent it from burning
on to the ceramic surface and ensure
that pan bases are clean, dry and free
of grease before use.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaning appliance to clean
the ceramic hob. Pressurised steam
could cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Never place hot pans near the con-
trol area. This could damage the
electronic controls underneath.
If a drawer is fitted directly under-
neath the hob, ensure that there is
sufficient space between the drawer
and its contents and the underside of
the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob.
In countries where there are areas
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 may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning
The surface of the hob is hot when
in use, and remains hot for a time
after being switched off. Keep children
away. There is a danger of burning
until the residual heat indicator goes
out.
Do not store anything which might
arouse a child’s interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the
risk of burning themselves.
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Take care not to let pot holders
or gloves get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer quicker with the
risk of burning yourself.
Keep all pans out of reach of child-
ren. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger
of burning or scalding.
Special hob guards are available from
good retail outlets as additional protection.
Do not heat up unopened con-
tainers of food, e.g. tins, on the
hob, as pressure can build up and they
may explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else and never
place metallic objects on it. This could
lead to danger of the article, depending on the type of material, beginning
to melt or catching fire, if residual heat
were still present or if the hob were to
be switched on inadvertently.
Never cover the hob with a cloth or
a hob cover sheet. There is a
danger of this burning if the hob is
switched on.
Never leave the hob unattended
when cooking with oil or fat, as
these are fire hazards if overheated.
Overheated fat could ignite and even
set the cooker hood on fire. Always
heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
If oil or fat does catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket or fire extinguisher.
Never flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
If a drawer is fitted directly under-
neath the hob ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily
flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the
drawer, these must be made of a suitable heat-resistant material.

Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance fault
In the event of damage or any
breakages or cracks the ceramic
hob must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply. Contact the Service Department. Ensure the hob is not reconnected and 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.
Ensure that the appliance is dis-
connected from the electricity supply before any servicing or repair work.
Any 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. Under no
circumstances open the outer casing
of the appliance.
While the appliance is under guar-
antee repairs should only be undertaken by a service engineer authorised
by the manufacturer. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
