IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL, STATE AND
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES. This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.

Failure to comply with the applicable codes may result in fire, property damage, personal
injury or death.

If the electric power supply does not meet the product specifications, consult with a licensed
electrician before proceeding with installation.

Save this documentation for review by local inspector.

Electrical safety

Please follow these instructions; otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage
that may occur.

1. The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried out by qualified
personnel.

2. Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service persons. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your
appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Service Center.

3. The electrical connection may be made by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in
accordance with wiring regulations.

4. Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable cabinets
and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection
against electric shock as required by a certification body.

5. If your appliance malfunctions or fractures:

- Switch off all cooking zones, and contact the Service Center.

- If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass surface has been replaced.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or similarly

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Safety during use

1. This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the kitchen.

2. Do not use the appliance to heat the room.

3. Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop.

4. Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. Be especially careful when cooking foods in

5. Switch off the cooking zones after use.

6. Always keep the control panel clean and dry.

Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.

fat or oil.

7. Never place combustible items on the cooktop.

8. You must not keep any combustible items such as aerosol cans in a drawer located
under the cooktop. Likewise, do not keep items made of plastic with a low melting point
in a drawer below the cooktop.

9. To eliminate the risk of burns from reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

10. The service cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot plates. This could
cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.

11. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they are
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they are using the appliance
safely.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

12. Accessible parts become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

13. The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep small children
away from the appliance. Although the cooktop is equipped with a control lock, surfaces
may still be hot.

Safety when cleaning

1. Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

2. For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.

3. Clean the cooktop in accordance with the Care and Cleaning instructions in this manual.

4. Do not use harsh cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads to clean the ceramic glass surface
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

1. Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or storage space.

2. Please be careful of the edges when moving pots and pans around.

3. Do not leave the cooking zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or pans on them.

4. Ceramic glass is very tough and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not
unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall on it.

5. Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs.
Moving these can cause scratches on glass.

6. If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove
immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

7. Keep objects or materials liable to melt away from the ceramic glass surface, for example,
plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs have
melted on the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immediately.

Pots and pans

The better the pot, the better the cooking results.

1. You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.

2. When buying new pots and pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often only state the diameter of the rim.

3. Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause metallic discoloration on the ceramic glass
surface which is very difficult or impossible to remove.

4. Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged bases that are rough and/or
have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.

5. When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).

6. If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please
observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

7. For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.
