Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of this appliance comply with the accepted technical standards and the applicable safety regulations. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:
Electrical Safety
The new appliance may only be installed and connected up by qualified personnel, according to the
manufacturers instructions and to the relevant
country standards.
Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by
approved service engineers. Improper repairs can
cause injury or significant malfunction. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Customer Service department.
If your appliance malfunctions, or fractures, cracks or
splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– Disconnect the hob from the electricity supply .
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when the hob is in
use. Therefore, always keep small children away.
Safety During Use
This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only.
It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
Do not use the hob to heat the room.
Take care when plugging electrical appliances into
mains sockets near the hob. Connecting leads must
not come into contact with the hot surface.
Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should
supervise cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil
(e.g. chips).
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
How to Avoid Damage
to Your Appliance
Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty pans, or wi-
thout pans.
Ceramic glass is insensitive to temperature shock and
very robust, however it is not unbreakable. Hard and
sharp objects, in particular, can damage the cooking
surface if they fall on it.
Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases
that are rough or burred. Scratching may occur if the
pans are slid.
Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching
may occur or the paint damaged.
Ensure that liquids containing acids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or scale remover do not come into contact with the
hob frame, otherwise matt spots will appear.
If sugar or a dish containing sugar comes into contact
with a hot cooking zone and then melts, remove the
soiling immediately whilst still hot using a scraper. If it
cools, damage to the surface may occur on removal.
Keep all items and materials that can melt away from
the ceramic glass surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil,
or oven foils. If something of this nature should melt
onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed immediately using the scraper.
If you wish to use special types of pan (e.g. a pressure
cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc.), please observe t h e
manufacturer’s instructions.
Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably
damaged in the process and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged.
If a hot pan is placed on a cold cooking zone, and the
cooking zone is heated by the pan, no indication is given on the residual heat display.
Safety When Cleaning
For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a
steam jet or high pressure cleaner.
Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance
and cleaning instructions in this manual.
