or potholders when working on the
hot appliance. Only use dry oven
gloves or potholders. Wet textiles are
better heat conductors and can cause
steam burns.
Always switch off the hob completely
■
after use! Never rely solely on the au-
tomatic pot recognition.
Always switch off the cooking zone/
■
area yourself if you wish to stop a
cooking process. Cancelling the cook-
ing time limit does not end the cook-
ing process itself.
Do not leave the hob unattended
■
during use.
Children aged 8 years or younger
■
must be kept away from the device,
unless they are under constant super-
vision.
Do not place any metal objects such
■
as cutlery and lids on the hob, be-
cause these will also heat up and may
cause burns.
Never sit on the hob.
■
Allow the cooking zones to cool com-
■
pletely before cleaning.
Exception: Remove sugary or starchy
contaminants, plastic or aluminium
foil from the hot glass ceramic im-
mediately using a standard sharp
blade scraper. While doing so, protect
hands from burns with oven gloves or
potholders.
Health hazard!
Acrylamide may be carcinogenic.
Acrylamide is produced when starch is
exposed to excessive heat, e.g. in pota-
toes (fries, chips), biscuits, toast, bread
etc.
Keep cooking times as short as pos-
■
sible.
Only brown the food slightly, do not
■
allow it to brown too much.
When frying potatoes using raw po-
■
tato discs or frying potato fritters in
a frying pan, it is better to use mar-
garine (with a minimum fat content
of 80 %) or oil with a little margarine
instead of pure oil.
The hob generates a magnetic fi eld
that could disrupt medical implants.
Ask your doctor about the effects on
■
implants e.g. pacemakers or defi bril-
lators.
