DO NOT LEAVE THE INDUCTION HOB UNATTENDED WHEN SWITCHED ON.
BE AWARE OF HOW RAPIDLY THE COOKING ZONES HEAT UP. DO NOT PLACE EMPTY
SAUCEPANS ON THE HEAT. DANGER OF OVERHEATING.
FAT AND OIL CAN CATCH FIRE IF THEY OVERHEAT. YOU ARE THEREFORE RECOMMENDED
NOT TO LEAVE THE HOB WHILE PREPARING FOODS CONTAINING OIL OR FAT. IF FAT OR OIL
CATCHES FIRE, NEVER PUT WATER ON IT. COVER THE PAN WITH A LID AND SWITCH OFF THE

SOLID OBJECTS FALLING ON THE COOKING SURFACE AS THEY MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK IF
THEY ARE SHARP.

OBJECTS.
IF IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE HOB DUE TO A FAULT IN THE SENSOR
CONTROL, IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CALL TECHNICAL
SUPPORT.
