contract with a technician is recommended.

the installation location must have ventilation openings that comply with the
requirements of EN 1646-1. The openings can be closeable (e.g. roof vent), but must
be open during operation of the appliance.
-
The fans for exhaust gas and fresh air must be unobstructed. Therefore, make sure
that they are not covered by leaves, snow, ice, etc.
-
The user is responsible for checking this regularly.
2.3 Maintenance, care and practical tips
-
thermal and mechanical stability
The glass ceramic cooktop is thermal shockproof, i.e. it cannot be damaged by sudden
changes in temperature. The cooktop can withstand the weight of a heavy pot.
However, the cooktop panel can break due to concentrated impact, such as falling
objects.
-
Cleaning and care
Before initial use, you should clean the glass ceramic cooktop thoroughly. Avoid
heating a dirty cooktop, since this can cause spilled food or liquids to burn on. For the
care and cleaning of the lukewarm or cold glass ceramic surface we recommend:
a) paper towels or a clean cloth
b) razor blade scraper (from Schott)
c) Sidol "Stahlglanz" or "Stahlfix"
