safety
what you should pay attention to
Induction cooking is extremely safe.
Because the heat is generated in the pan and the ceramic
plate will not get hotter than the contents of the pan, the
chance that you will burn yourself on the hob is very slight.
However, there are, as with any other hob,
a number of matters of which you should be aware.
• When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice
that it smells 'new'. This is caused by the appliance’s finish
heating up. It is perfectly normal. The odour will disappear
of its own accord as a result of ventilation.
• This appliance should only be connected to the mains
supply by a qualified electrician.
• The power supply must be disconnected before the
appliance is cleaned or repaired. Preferably, by removing
the plug from the socket, switching off the (automatic)
fuse(s) or setting the switch in the supply cable to zero in
the case of a fixed connection.
• This cooking appliance is designed for domestic use. Do
not use the appliance for any purpose other than food
preparation.
• Remember the very short heating up time at the higher
settings. Always stay close to the hob if you have a cooking
zone on a high setting.
• Take care that the pan does not boil dry. Damage caused by
the use of unsuitable pans and by pans boiling dry is
excluded from the warranty.
