Warning and Safety instructions
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. When
the appliance is switched on either
deliberately or by mistake, or when
there is residual heat present, there is
the risk of metal objects heating up,
with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the cooktop could also
melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.

~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~
Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the cooktop surface permanently.
~
Do not use cookware with an
exposed copper or aluminium base as
they may leave permanent visual marks
on the ceramic surface.
~
Never heat an empty pan unless the
manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
~
Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~
Never place hot pans on the area
around the controls. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
