Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The appliance must be installed and connected by a suitably

qualified and competent person in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

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 safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested, and if there is any doubt, the electrical wiring in the home should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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 (e.g. danger of overheating).

Never open the casing of the appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

On hobs with bevelled glass edges a small gap may be visible

between the hob and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance you

should read these operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the safety, operation and care of the appliance.

For safety reasons this appliance must only be operated after it has

been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for domestic use only and is not to be

used for commercial purposes.

Only use the appliance to prepare food in the home. Any other usage

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

Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high

temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance can cause the control

area to heat up. This is quite normal and does not indicate a fault.

16

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these

operating instructions.

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury keep

children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the appliance only when its operation

has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Use the safety lock to prevent children operating the appliance or

altering the settings.

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a

while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

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.

Keep all pans out of reach of children. 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.

Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings

must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Before discarding an old appliance, it should be unplugged

or disconnected from the mains electricity supply. Any plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

17

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light

object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic 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 ceramic surface when it is hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and carefully, while they are still hot, scrape off all remains of these materials using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.

Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.

To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan

bases are clean, dry and free of grease.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam

could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not

use pans with very thin bases on this hob and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.

Never place hot pans near the control area. This could damage

the electronic unit underneath.

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.

18

Warning and Safety instructions

Protection from burning and scalding

The surface of the appliance is hot when in use, and remains hot for

quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

For added protection it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or

gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode.

This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything else. The article

could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance

is switched on by mistake.

Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil

or fat as these are fire hazards if overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire and could even set a cooker hood above on fire. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the

flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the

cooker hood on fire.

19

Warning and Safety instructions

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect, switch off the appliance immedi-

ately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Service Department.

Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.

If there is any damage to the ceramic surface the appliance

must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply immediately and not used until it has been repaired. Danger of electric shock.

Repairs must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and

competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be

taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.

Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking; therefore when cooking or reheating foods such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high

temperatures and could damage the ceramic surface. Fire hazard.

If a domestic animal gets onto the hob, a sensor switch could be

touched and a cooking zone switched on. Keep pets away from the hob at all times.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must not

be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

20

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse.
