Safety instructions
■ The cooktop must be built into a countertop opening! Do not use the
appliance if it has not been installed!
■ Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
■ The appliance may only be installed and connected to the power
supply, maintained, and repaired by a qualified electrician in
accordance with safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.
Work performed incorrectly puts your safety at risk.
■ This appliance is for residential use only. Use for any other purpose
is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer
can’t be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of this
appliance.
■ Danger of burning! The cook top becomes hot
during operation. CAUTION: Keep children away
from this appliance.
■ CAUTION! Items of interest to children should not be stored in cab-
inets above a cooktop. A child can be seriously injured by climbing
on a cooktop to reach them.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the ap-
pliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■ Don’t touch the cooking surface or areas near it. The cooking surface
may be hot even though it’s dark in color. Areas near it may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch the
surface, or let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact
with it until it’s had time to cool.
■ Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with different
sized surface units. Use flat-bottomed cookware that is large enough
to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will leave a portion of the heating element exposed and
direct contact could result in the ignition of clothing. Using a proper
relationship between cookware and burners wil also improve
efficiency. Review “Selecting pots and pans“ on page 7.
■ Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
Don’t put combustible or flammable objects on the cooking top.
They could be ignited if the burners are unintentionally turned on.
■ Do not use aluminium foil to line the surface unit drip bowls.
■ The glass ceramic surface is very durable and can easily withstand
light to medium impacts and loads distributed over large areas. Be
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling on
the surface to avoid cracking or breaking of the cooking surface.
■ CAUTION! If the cooking surface becomes cracked or fractured, quit
using the appliance immediately. Disconnect the power and call
Customer Service. Cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
■ Never flambé under the cooker hood. The fat in the filter can
ignite!
■ The connecting cable must not come in contact with the hot cooking
surface.
■ CAUTION: Overheated greases and oils may ignite themselves.
Prepare meals with greases and oils very carefully and control the
heat. Should fats or oils ignite, do not use water to extinguish them!
Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
■ Don’t switch the cooking surface on unless you’re using it for cooking.
Never use a cooking zone without a pot or pan set on it. Never use the
appliance to heat a room!
■ Immediately switch off the cooking zone after using with the respective
minus key and not just by pot recognition.
■ Never leave the cooking surface unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover can cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
■ Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should not
come in contact with the cooking surface. Dish cloths, potholders
and aprons should not be stored near the surface units.
■ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the untensil, the handle of
an utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
■ Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch a hot
surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ CAUTION! Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils can be used on the range-top without breaking, due
to the sudden change in temperature. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions!
■ Do not place non-food items on the cooking surface when it's hot.
■ Be careful when working with attachments! The connecting cord
must not come in contact with the hot cooking surface.
■ Do not put plastic on the cooking surface. Things that can melt
(i.e. plastics, foils or sugar), must be kept away from the cooking
surface. Be sure to immediately remove or lift off any melted
item from the hot cooking surface. Use the supplied cleaning
scraper in order to avoid damage to the cooking surface.
■ Clean and remove any burned-on materials. Don’t heat these
materials repeatedly.
■ Lime deposits are harmful to the cooking surface.
■ If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■ Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions carefully!
Before using the first time
