on the appliance corresponds with the
mains voltage in your home. If this is not the
case, contact your dealer and do not use the
appliance.
• If the appliance is grounded (protection class
I), the wall outlet and any extension to which
it is connected must also be grounded.
• Place the appliance on a clear, flat and heat-
resistant surface. Distance from the wall
should be at least 5 cm. The area above the
appliance should be kept free to allow an
unobstructed air-circulation. Never place the
appliance or power cord on hot surfaces. Nor
should the appliance be placed or operated
in the vicinity of exposed gas flames.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a
table or counter. Do not let the cord touch
hot surfaces.
• To protect from electrical hazard, do not
immerse this appliance or cordset in any
liquids.

any signs of damage, do not operate it! Take
the product to an authorized and qualified
service center for inspection or repair.

• Always disconnect the appliance from power
after use, before cleaning and in the event of
a malfunction.
• As long as the appliance is hot, it should be
supervised, even if it is not connected to the
mains. Nor should it be transported with a

burned. Allow the appliance to cool down
fully before cleaning and storing it.

pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance
from the power source.

that may arise if the appliance is used for
purposes other than originally intended or if
it is used inappropriately.

the unit must only be done by authorised
specialist personnel!
BEFORE FIRST USE
In order to remove the invisible protective
coating from the hotplate, you need to heat
the empty hotplate for about five minutes at
maximum heat. You do not have to worry about
the slight smoke development. During the initial
heating, ventilate the room thoroughly.

bottomed cookware can be used on the
appliance.
1. Make sure the heating controls are set to
"MIN", then connect the appliance to the

select the desired heating level.
MIN - 4
for simmering and gentle heating
