• Take care when plugging electric appliances into mains sockets near the
hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking
when preparing foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• Switch off the cooking zones after use.
Safety When Cleaning
• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high
pressure cleaner.
• Clean the hob in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning in−
structions in this manual.
To Avoid Damaging Your Appliance
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate the cooking zones when there is no pan or the pans are
empty.
• Ceramic glass is insensitve to temperature shock and very robust; howe−
ver it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on
the cooking surface can damage it.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. Scratching may occur if the pans are slid across the surface.
• Do not place any pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage to the
paint may occur.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents,
are spilt onto the hob frame, since these cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot
cooking zone and melts there it must be cleaned off immediately with a
scraper while it is still hot. If it cools, the surface may be damaged when
it is removed.
• Keep all items and materials that can melt away from the ceramic glass
surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil, or oven foils. If something of this
nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be remo−
ved immediately using the scraper.
