IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Damage protection

Never place hot pots or pans over
the touch controls, this may damage
the electronics.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface of the cooktop. Even
lightweight objects may cause damage.
~
Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic cooktop. These could scratch
the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.

To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
