Warning and Safety instructions

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items placed on the cooktop (e.g. cutlery) heating up.
Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could
also melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting place
for anything else.

You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged.

Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.

When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or
touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.

If a rangehood is installed above the cooktop, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.

Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short
time.
