safety
what you should pay attention to
The ceramic cooking surface is very strong but not
unbreakable. It may be cracked if, for example, a spice jar or
pointed object falls on it.
Do not use the appliance if there are any cracks or splits in it.
Switch the appliance off immediately. Take the plug out of
the socket and phone the service department.
Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made
meals, for cooking food in.
If aluminium foil melts on the cooking surface, it cannot be
removed.
Grains of sand may cause scratches that cannot be removed.
• Only put pans with a clean and dry base on the cooking
surface. This prevents lime stains or other stains that are
difficult to remove.
• Always pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g. a mixer – may
accidentally touch the cooking zones.
Always pick pans up;
never slide them.
