Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty is void in the
event of damages.
• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installa-
tion in suitable installation cabinets and workplaces which conform
to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against
contact for electrical units as required by the VDE [Association of
German Electrical Engineers].
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks or splits appear:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
Child Safety
The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always
keep small children away from the appliance.

the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the
