• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5°C.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”.
Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will
soon disappear.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use.
• Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary. For
example, open a window or install an electric fan.
• Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire,
even if the cooker hood is switched off.
• The burner components are hot during and immediately after use.
• Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant
materials.
• Never immerse the hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water.
The rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
• The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall
should always be greater than two centimetres. In case of smaller
distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to
discolour and/or deform.
• Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
• Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on
the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.
• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can
burn into the burner caps and pan supports.
• The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have
been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports
lie properly against each other and flat on the drip tray. Only then the
pans can be positioned stably.
• Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
• This appliance should only be connected by a registered installer.
• Faulty parts may only be replaced by original parts meet safety
requirements.
• Damage caused by incorrect connection, incorrect fitting, or incorrect
use is not covered by the warranty.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service organisation or equivalently
qualified persons, in order to avoid dangerous situations.
• The electrical connection must comply with national and local
regulations.
• The wall plug socket and plug should always be accessible.
• The connection cable must hang freely and should not be fed through
a drawer.
