Warning and safety instructions
~
Protect your hands when working
around the hot cooktop - wear
heat-resistant oven mitts and use
potholders, etc. Use only dry
potholders, make sure they are not
damp or wet, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~
Never flambé food under an exhaust
hood. The flames can set fire to the
exhaust hood.
~
Do not use the cooktop as a storage
surface.
Above all, do not place any knives,
forks, spoons, etc., or other metallic
objects on it. If the cooktop is on or
accidentally turned on or there is
residual heat, metallic objects can heat
up and cause burns.
Other items may melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Always turn the cooktop off after use!
~
Installation of several units
Do not place hot pots or pans on the
spacing strips because they could
damage the seal of the spacing strip.
~
Do not cover the cooktop, for
example, with a cover, a cloth or
protective film. If the cooktop is turned
on by mistake or there is residual heat
there is a danger that the material
ignites, explodes or melts.

~
NEVER use the appliance to heat up
closed containers, e.g., canned foods.
The increased pressure can cause the
containers/cans to explode, and this
carries the danger of injury and burns.
~
Use only pots and pans with flat
bases. Sharp pot and pan bases
scratch the ceramic glass sheet.
~
Never heat up an empty cookware,
unless the Cookware manufacturer
allows specifically this application. Due
to the high heating rate of Induction, the
temperature at bottom of the pan may
possibly reach within the shortest time
the Self-ignition temperature of oils or
other fats.
~
Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar or sand (for example, from
cleaning vegetabes) can cause
scratches.
~
NEVER place hot pots or pans near
the display. That could damage the
electronic unit underneath.
~
Be careful that no objects or
cookware fall onto the ceramic surface.
Even a light object, such as a salt
shaker, can cause cracks and chips in
the ceramic surface.
~
If you use an electric small
appliance, such as a hand mixer, in the
vicinity of the cooktop, make sure that
the power cord does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. This could
damage the insulation on the cord.
Danger of electric shock.
