Risk of fire!
■
Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly.
Never leave hot fat or oil unattended.
Never use water to put out burning oil or
fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or
something similar.
Risk of fire!
■
The hotplates become very hot. Never
place combustible items on the hob.
Never place objects on the hob.
Risk of fire!
■
The appliance gets hot. Do not keep
combustible objects or aerosol cans in
drawers directly underneath the hob.
Risk of fire!
■
The hob switches off automatically and
can no longer be operated. It may switch
on unintentionally at a later point. Switch
off the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of burns!
■
The hotplates and surrounding area
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted)
become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
■
The hotplate heats up but the display does
not work. Switch off the circuit breaker in
the fuse box. Contact the after-sales
service.
Risk of burns!
■
Metal objects on the hob quickly become
very hot. Never place metal objects (such
as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the
hob.
Risk of fire!!
■
After each use, always turn off the hob at
the main switch. Do not wait until the hob
turns off automatically after the pan is
removed.
Risk of electric shock!
■
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out and damaged
power cables replaced by one of our
trained after-sales technicians. If the
appliance is defective, unplug the
appliance from the mains or switch off the
circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the
after-sales service.
Risk of electric shock!
■
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.
Risk of electric shock!
■
A defective appliance may cause electric
shock. Never switch on a defective
appliance. Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in
the fuse box. Contact the after-sales
service.
Risk of electric shock!
■
Cracks or fractures in the glass ceramic
may cause electric shocks. Switch off the
circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the
after-sales service.
Malfunction risk!
The hob is equipped with a fan in the lower
section. If there is a drawer under the hob it
should not be used to store small objects or
paper, since they could damage the fan or
interfere with the cooling if they are sucked
into it.
There should be a minimum of 2 cm
between the contents of the drawer and fan
intake.
Risk of injury!
■
When cooking in a bain marie, the hob
and cooking container could shatter due
to overheating. The cooking container in
the bain marie must not directly touch the
bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use
heat-resistant cookware.
Risk of injury!
■
Saucepans may suddenly jump due to
liquid between the pan base and the
hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and
saucepan bases dry.
Elements that may damage the appliance
Caution!
■ Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
■ Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so
may cause damage.
■ Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator
area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
■ Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.
■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the
hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not
recommended on the hob.

Protecting the environment
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Energy-saving advice
■ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid
uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility
and avoid having to lift the lid.
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in
the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
■ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
■ Energy is saved.
■ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
■ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power as
soon as the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate
stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having
previously switched it off.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking;
these may be made from:
■ enamelled steel
■ cast iron
■ special stainless steel induction pans.
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a
magnet will stick to its base.
■ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot
more energy.
■ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the
hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the
diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than
the diameter of the pan base.
■ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which
is not full uses a lot of energy.
■ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and
preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
■ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the
power level is too high, energy is wasted.
There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is
not entirely ferromagnetic.
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic area, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce the
ferromagnetic area, so less heat
may be supplied and the pan
may be difficult to detect or not
be detected at all.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the
size of the hotplate. If cookware
is not detected on a hotplate, try
it on the next smaller hotplate
down.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
■ common thin steel
■ glass
■ earthenware
■ copper
■ aluminium
