Thus, work with caution:
• We recommend using pot cloths and appropriate cooking cutlery!
• Please note the installation instructions.
• Do not use the appliance’s upper side as depositing rack or working top as
it will get hot when operating the appliance! As protection against fire, do
generally not put any objects on hot surfaces!
• Only use suitable pots or pans with sound, even bottom and appropriate
diameter (also fire-proof glass or chinaware). If the pot bottom is uneven
or too small, you will waste energy. The heating plate and the pot bottom
must always be clean and dry.
• Do not use cooking vessels made of plastic, inferior enamel, porcelain or
aluminium foil.
• In case any plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or dishes containing sugar
accidently happen to melt on the ceramic hob, immediately shove them off
the hot heating zone using a cleaning scraper.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects and
protect the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.
• Attention! Hazard of fire! Fat and oil can ignite when overheated.
Therefore, food containing fat and oil must be prepared under supervision
only.
• Never try to extinguish a fire with water. Switch off the appliance and
cover the flames with a blanket or fire blanket.
• Never splash cold water on the hot heating plates/cooking zones!
• Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before cleaning or
moving them!
• Do not install the appliance in areas exposed to explosion hazards in
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use the appliance as a space heater.
• Never use oven sprays or stain-removers for cleaning! Special cleaning
agents for the glass plate are commercially available.
• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects.
Protect the glass plate against breakage by falling objects.
