Only ever operate the appliance under supervision. Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires. Caution: the appliance heats up during operation. Keep children away. Do not operate the cooking positions without pots and pans placed on them. To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices. 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. Operation of the appliance must be discontinued 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 switch off the corresponding mains fuse. Call after-sales service! Isolate the appliance from the mains during every maintenance operation. To do this, remove the mains plug or switch off the corresponding fuse. Repairs must be carried out by authorised specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.

Use the appliance to prepare meals only. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room in which it is installed. Do not use the cooking surface as space to store items. Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding cooking zone before operating it. Do not remove the cooking vessel until you have switched off the hotplate. The size of pots and pans should correspond to the size of the hotplate. This will save you energy and time. Switch off the hob after use. Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases of some pots. These do not interfere with the operation of the glass ceramic hob. Always keep the cooking area dry and clean. The surface can be scratched due to dirt (e.g. sand grains). Never heat food in aluminium or plastic containers as the material can melt and damage your hob.

The heat required depends not only on the type and condition of the food, but also the size and contents of the pot. 9 5. Energy saving tips Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and the energy use reduced. Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate. When buying pots, pay attention to the fact that the manufacturer frequently specifies the top pot diameter, which is generally larger than the diameter of the base. We recommend that you use high quality pots and pans with thick flat bases. For longer cooking times, it is possible to switch off the cooking zone before the end of the cooking time to make use of the residual heat. 10 6.
