silver streaks or spots on the bob .

bob .

must be clean . Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc . with the aid of a cleansing
agent .

do not stick out over the edge of the
cooker, to avoid them being knocked
over by accident . This also makes it
more difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels .

when they are switched on .

on the glass ceramic cooktop . If the
surface is broken or damaged unplug
the appliance and contact the after-sales
service .

objects on the cooking zones when they

remain hot for some time after they are
