• 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.
Special Notes on Induction Cooking ZonesZones
• Scientific studies have shown that patients who are fitted with im-
planted pacemakers are not normally affected or put at risk by our
induction cooking zones.
The distance between the body and the cooking zone should, howev-
er, never be less than 30 cm!
• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere
with portable transistor radios.
• Do not put magnetically rechargeable objects (e.g., credit cards, cas-
settes) on the glass ceramic surface while one or more induction
cooking zones are in use!
• Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the induc-
tion surface as they can be warmed up when the induction surface is
in use.
3 Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking
zones. This is not a fault in the hob and its function will not be im-
paired in any way as a result.
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;
however 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.
