materials are flammable. Therefore, do not store lightly

flammable objects in the drawers directly under the hob.

The cutlery tray, if present, must be made of heat-resistant

material.

- Do not heat empty pots or pans.

- Cookware must be placed directly on the glass ceramic

and must be centred.

- Do not put anything between the pot and the glass (e.g.

trivet).

- When cooking preserves or jars, closed jars can explode

due to overpressure. Do not use the hob to prepare

preserves or to heat jars.

- When covering the hob, there is a danger that the cover

material will ignite, shatter or melt if the ignition is switched

on or the residual heat is removed.

- Do not cover the hob, for example with cover plates, a

cloth or protective film.

of the hob, for example a blender, make sure that the

power supply cable does not come into contact with the

hob. The insulation of the power supply cable may be

damaged or melt.

- Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids

should not be placed on the hotplate since they can get

indicators are turned off.

- If the hob is very hot, there is a risk of being burnt. It is

advisable to protect hands from heat by using special knobs

or pot holders. Only use dry gloves or pot holders. Wet or

damp fabrics are good heat conductors and may cause

scalding.

- If the hob is on or has been inadvertently switched on,

or in the event of residual heat, there is a risk that metal

objects may overheat (danger of burns).

cooking cookware. Make sure that the glass ceramic

surface and the base of the cooking cookware are clean

before placing them on the hob.

- Light objects (e.g. a salt-cellar) that fall over can also crack

or damage the glass ceramic plate. Caution: Do not drop

any objects on the glass ceramic surface.

- Hot objects may damage the electronics under the sensor

keys and indicator lights. Never place hot pots or pans on

the sensor keys or on the indicator lights
