important safety instructions
the hob surface since they can become hot.
• Always switch the cooking zones off after use!
• Spray cans, flammable liquids or flammable materials can ignite if heated. If
there is a drawer below the appliance, do not store flammable items in the
drawer. If there is a cutlery tray below the cooktop, it must be made of heat-
resistant material.
• Flames can set fire to the grease filters in the exhaust hood. Never flambé food
under an exhaust hood.
• Never heat empty cookware or an empty pot! This can damage the glass
ceramic surface.
• Never use the cooktop to heat closed cans. The increased pressure can cause
the cans to explode.
• If using a small appliance (e.g. a hand mixer) in the vicinity of the cooktop, make
sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The
insulation of the cord could get damaged.
• Salt, sugar, and grains of sand or dirt (e.g. from fresh vegetables) between the
cookware and the cooktop can cause scratches. Keep cooktop and cookware
clean.
• Rough cookware can scratch the glass ceramic surface. Use only pots and
pans with a smooth bottom.
• Even light objects such as a salt shaker can cause cracks and chips if they
fall on the glass ceramic surface. Do not drop anything on the glass ceramic
surface.
• Hot objects on the sensor areas or indicators can damage the electronics
underneath. Never place hot pots or pans on the sensor areas or indicators.
• Metal objects stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot when the
cooktop is in heavy use over a longer period of time. Do not store metal objects
in a drawer under the cooktop!
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
• For users who wear a pacemaker: When the cooktop is in use it is surrounded
by an electromagnetic field. It is unlikely that this will affect a pacemaker.
However, if in doubt consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.
• Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance credit cards, CDs and
calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop when it is on.
• Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of the cookware
bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats. Never leave the
cooktop unattended during use!
• The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If there is a drawer below the
installed appliance, you will need to ensure there is enough space to allow for
ventilation. Do not use the drawer to store sharp or small objects or paper. They
could pass through or be sucked into the vents in the housing and damage the
fan blades or otherwise interfere with cooling.
