IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hot objects on the residual-heat indicators can damage the elec-
tronics underneath. Do not place hot pots or pans in this area.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alu-
minum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Use
pot holders. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down before cleaning
with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.

Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.

Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can
scratch the ceramic surface. Only use pots and pans with smooth
bases.

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
cooking zones while the cooking zones are in use.

Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.

The cooktop frame or cooktop edges (on cooktops with beveled
edges) can become hot due to the influence of the following factors:
operating duration, high power level(s), large cookware, and the
number of cooking zones being used.

Cookware made from aluminum or with an aluminum base can
cause shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed with ce-
ramic glass or stainless steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and Care",
"Cleaning the ceramic surface").
