SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
● Sugar, citric acid, salt etc., both in liquid and solid state, as well as plastic should not get into
contact with a hot hotplate.
● If through carelessness, sugar or plastic gets on a hot hotplate, you may not switch off the plate
but scrape away sugar or plastic using a sharp scrapper. Protect hands from burns.
● Use only flat-bottom pots and saucepans on your ceramic plate, without sharp edges or burrs
as otherwise the plate may get permanently damaged.
● The heating surface of the ceramic plate is resistant to thermal shock. It is neither hot nor
cold-sensitive.
● Avoid dropping objects on the plate. A point hit, for example a falling bottle with spices, may in
unfavourable circumstances lead to cracks and splits appearing on your ceramic plate.
● Boiled over residuals of food may penetrate damaged places and get to the live components
of the ceramic plate
● Should cracks or splits appear on the surface of your ceramic plate immediately disconnect
it from the mains. In order to do so, switch off the fuse or pull out the mains plug from the
socket. Call the Customer Service
● Please observe the maintenance and cleaning guidelines. Should you fail to proceed in
compliance with the provided guidelines, you will lose your warranty rights.
● Do not use the surface of the plate as a carving board or a working top.
● It is recommended that metal objects like knives, forks, spoons and lids are not left on the
ceramic plate as they can become hot.
● Do not fit the plate over a cooker without a fan, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer or
washing machine.
Note! If the fixed-mounted power cable gets damaged, it should be replaced by the manufac-
turer or in a specialist workshop or by a qualified person to avoid any accidents.
