3 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶
Never cover the stainless steel hob, for example
with aluminium foil or oven protectors.
▶
Only use the accessories specified.
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units. If the appliance is in operation for an exten-
ded period, heat and moisture will be generated.
▶
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
ing to the outside.
4 Causes of damage
Causes of damage to the hotplate
4.1 Causes of damage
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous.
Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out
▶
by trained specialist staff.
Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the
▶
appliance.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it
▶
must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer's Customer Service or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent any risk.
1.
Only use hobs when cookware has been placed on
top of them. Do not heat up empty cookware. This
will damage the bottom of the pot.
2.
Only use cookware with an even base.
3.
Position the cookware precisely in the centre of the
steel grid of the burner. This enables the heat from
the burner flame to be transferred optimally to the
underside of the cookware. The handle or grip does
not become damaged, and greater energy savings
are guaranteed.
4.
Ensure that the burner parts are clean and dry. The
burner cup and burner cover must be in exactly the
right position.
5.
If you operate your appliance with a gas cylinder,
stand the gas cylinder upright. If a gas cylinder is
used when it is laying on its side, internal parts of
the appliance may be damaged and this may result
in a gas leak.
6
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one
single item of cookware.
▶
Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long
time at full power.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
▶
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
when the appliance is not being used.
Acidic liquids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, may
damage the surface of the appliance.
▶
Do not leave acidic liquids on the hob.
6.
Do not place hot cookware on the display or the
frame.
7.
Salt, sugar and sand may cause scratches on the
glass. Do not use the hob as a work surface, kit-
chen worktop or storage space.
8.
Damage may occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the hob. Do not store such objects above the hob.
9.
Sugar or food with a high sugar content may dam-
age the hob. Remove boiled-over food immediately
with a glass scraper. Caution: The scraper is poin-
ted. Food remnants that have not been removed
may damage the surface of the appliance and other
components.
10.
The area around the appliance must be clean and
dry. Always keep the appliance and the area around
it clean and dry after cleaning. Ensure that there are
no cleaning materials, cleaning products or water
marks on any of the appliance's surfaces.
11.
Bleaching agents or similar chemicals which get
into the gas components below the hobs or on the
burner seat may lead to problems with the gas com-
ponents. When removing food remnants or residual
liquids from the burner seat, do not use bleaching
agents or similarly effective chemicals.
12.
Cookware such as ceramic pans, casserole dishes
and frying pans absorb heat. Do not expose this
cookware to the flame for an extended period. This
may cause damage to the surface of the hotplate.
13.
Never heat the cookware with more than one burner
at a time.
