Thus, act with caution:
• We recommend using pot cloths and appropriate cooking cutlery!
• Do not use the appliance’s upper side as depositing rack or working
top as it will get hot when operating the appliance! As protection
against fire, do generally not put objects made of paper, plastic, fabric
or other inflammable material on hot surfaces!
• Only use suitable pots or pans with sound, even bottom and
appropriate diameter (also fire-proof glass or chinaware). If the pot
bottom is uneven or too small, you will waste energy. The heating
plate and the pot bottom must always be clean and dry.
• Do not use cooking vessels made of plastic, inferior enamel, porcelain
or aluminium foil.
• In case any plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or dishes containing
sugar etc. happen to melt on the ceramic hob by accident, immediately
shove them away from the hot heating zone using a cleaning scraper.
• Never use oven sprays or stain-removers for cleaning! Special cleaning
agents for the glass plate are available on the market.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects.
Protect the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.
• Attention! Hazard of fire! Overheated fats and oils can inflame.
Therefore, food containing fats and oils may only be prepared under
supervision!
• Never splash cold water on the hot glass plate!
• Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before
cleaning or moving them!
• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:
o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface
(no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.).
o Place it beyond children’s reach.
o Leave an appropriate ventilation distance to all sides to avoid
damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work
area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.
o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat
(oven, gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where
inflammable liquids or gases are located.
Attention! Hazard of fire! This appliance is not qualified for
installation.
• Do not use the appliance as space heater.
• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.
