safety
what you should pay attention to
• Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is switched
on. While the hotplate is protected and will switch itself off,
the pan will be extremely hot. The pan could be damaged.
• The ceramic plate is very strong but certainly not
unbreakable. When, for example, a herb jar or a pointed
object is dropped onto it a break can be caused.
• When a hob is broken or cracked it should be used no
longer. Immediately switch off the hob, disconnect it from
the power supply and telephone the service department.
• When the induction hob is in use keep objects that can be
affected by magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards,
diskettes, watches and similar items) away from its vicinity.
We advise those who have pacemakers to consult a heart
specialist first.
• Aluminium foil should never be used as a container for the
preparation of dishes (for example aluminium deep freeze
containers). Aluminium foil will melt and stick to your hob
and can never be removed.
• The cooking surface must not be used for storage.
• Do not place any metal objects such as knives and forks on
the cooking area. They could become hot.
• Do not use the appliance below 5 °C.

safety
what you should pay attention to
Induction cooking is extremely safe.
Because the heat is generated in the pan and the ceramic
plate will not get hotter than the contents of the pan, the
chance that you will burn yourself on the hob is very slight.
However, there are, as with any other hob,
a number of matters of which you should be aware.
• When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice
that it smells 'new'. This is caused by the appliance’s finish
heating up. It is perfectly normal. The odour will disappear
of its own accord as a result of ventilation.
• This appliance should only be connected to the mains
supply by a qualified electrician.
• The power supply must be disconnected before the
appliance is cleaned or repaired. Preferably, by removing
the plug from the socket, switching off the (automatic)
fuse(s) or setting the switch in the supply cable to zero in
the case of a fixed connection.
• This cooking appliance is designed for domestic use. Do
not use the appliance for any purpose other than food
preparation.
• Remember the very short heating up time at the higher
settings. Always stay close to the hob if you have a cooking
zone on a high setting.
• Take care that the pan does not boil dry. Damage caused by
the use of unsuitable pans and by pans boiling dry is
excluded from the warranty.
