3 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units. If the appliance is in operation for an exten-
ded period, heat and moisture will be generated.
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
▶
ing to the outside.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one
▶
single item of cookware.
Avoid using griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long
▶
time at full power.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
▶
when the appliance is not being used.
4 Causes of damage
Causes of damage to the hotplate
4.1 Causes of damage
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous.
Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out
▶
by trained specialist staff.
Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the
▶
appliance.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it
▶
must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer's Customer Service or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent any risk.
Only use the hotplates when cookware has been
1.
placed on top of them. Do not heat up empty pots
or pans. The pot base will be damaged.
Only use pots and pans with an even base.
2.
Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This
3.
will optimise transfer of the heat from the burner
flame to the pot or ban base. The handle or grip is
not damaged, and greater energy savings are guar-
anteed.
Ensure that the hotplate burners are clean and dry.
4.
The burner cup and burner cover must be in exactly
the right position.
5 Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by using your appliance
in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
5.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.

Moving the cookware may scratch the glass.
Lift the cookware when moving it.
▶
Damage may occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the hob.
Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob.
▶
Do not bump into any of the edges of the hob.

▶
space.
Melted sugar or food with a high sugar content may
damage the glass.
Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass
▶
scraper.
If you operate your appliance with a gas cylinder,
5.
stand the gas cylinder upright. If a gas bottle is
used when it is laying on its side, internal parts of
the appliance may be damaged and this may result
in a gas leak.

Salt, sugar and sand may cause scratches on the
7.
glass. Do not use the hotplate as a work surface,
kitchen worktop or storage space.

ately with a glass scraper. Caution: The scraper is
pointed.
The area around the appliance must be clean and
10.
dry. Always keep the appliance and the area around
it clean and dry after cleaning. Ensure that there are
no cleaning materials, cleaning products or water
marks on any of the appliance's surfaces.
Lyes or similar chemicals which get into the gas
11.
components below the hotplates or on the burner
seat may lead to problems with the gas compon-
ents. When removing food remnants or residual li-
quids from the burner seat, do not use lye or simil-
arly effective chemicals.
