1.1 For your safety
– You must not operate the appliance if it is
damaged.
– The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.
Observe the assembly instructions!
– When connecting electrical appliances and
devices in the proximity of cooking surfaces and
ovens, make sure that connecting cables do not
become jammed under the hot oven door or
come into contact with hot cooking surfaces.
– As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the household.
– Only ever operate the appliance under
supervision. Observe caution with oils and fats.
Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires.
Important: the appliance heats up during
operation. Keep children away.
– Do not operate the cooking positions without
pots and pans placed on them.
– Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety
of the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-
pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.
– Isolate the appliance from the mains during
every maintenance operation. To do this, remove
the mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
– Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
– No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from failure to observe these
instructions.
– Do not store any substances that are sensitive
to high temperatures, or which pose a fire hazard
(e.g. cleaning agents or spray cans), in drawers
or cupboards under the appliance.
Technical modifications reserved.
1.2 Operating for the first time
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
please pay attention to the following notes:
– The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist.
– Keep the rating plate (on the enclosed sheet)
in the same place as the operating and assembly
instructions.
– Read through these instructions attentively
before operating your appliance for the first
time.
– Remove the packaging from the appliance
and dispose of it properly. When unpacking the
appliance, make sure you do not damage its
seal.
Pay attention to the fact that there are
accessories in the base of the packaging.
Keep packaging elements away from children.
– Thoroughly clean the appliance and
accessories before using them for the first time.
This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and
soiling (see chapter entitled “Cleaning and
care”).
– Tip: If you have a glass insurance, we
recommend that you have your new glass-
ceramic cooking range included.
– Operation of the appliance must be dis-
continued immediately if improper use produces
cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking surface,
with the result that live parts can come into
contact directly or indirectly with seeping liquid
or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the mains
plug or actuate the corresponding mains fuse.
Inform after-sales service!
– Before operating the appliance for the first
time, make sure that the mains connection is in
proper working order.
