This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by people who have reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate experience and/or knowledge, provided that they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting dangers.

Do not let children play with the appliance.

Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance unless they are at least 15 years old and are being supervised.

Keep children under the age of 8 years away from the appliance and power cable.

WARNING – Risk of poisoning!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters) obtain combustion air from the room and discharge exhaust gases through an exhaust system. With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.

• Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as a room-air-dependent heat-producing appliance is being operated.

• It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not fall below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

• In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They can assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and suggest suitable measures.

• Unrestricted operation is possible if the appliance is operated exclusively in circulating-air mode.

WARNING – Risk of fire!

• Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires. Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.

• Never attempt to extinguish a fire using water; instead, switch off the appliance and then cover with a lid or a fire blanket.

• The cooking surface becomes very hot. Never place flammable objects on the cooking surface or in its immediate vicinity.

• Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.

• Do not use hob covers.

• Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire. Never operate the appliance without a grease filter and clean the filters regularly.

WARNING – Risk of burns!

• The appliance and its parts that can be touched become hot during use, particularly the hob surround. Caution should be exercised to avoid touching heating elements.

• Young children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance.

• Never use hob protective grilles.

• Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the hob.

• The ventilation grille will quickly become extremely hot. Do not place any pans or hot objects on the ventilation grille.

WARNING – Risk of electric shock!

• Improper repairs are dangerous. Repairs should only be carried out by trained specialist staff using genuine spare parts.

• If the appliance or power cord is damaged, never operate it. Call customer services.

• An ingress of moisture can cause an electric shock. Do not use steam- or high-pressure cleaners.

WARNING – Risk of injury!

• Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the saucepan base and the hotplate. Always keep hotplates and saucepan bases dry.

• Never use icy-cold cookware that has been in the freezer.

• Rough pot and pan bases will scratch the ceramic. Check your cookware.

• Boiling pans dry may damage cookware or the appliance. Never place empty pans on a heated hotplate or allow to boil dry.

• Incorrectly positioned cookware can cause the electronics to overheat. Never place hot pots or pans on the controls, the displays, the hob surround or the ventilation grille.

• Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob. Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob.

• Non heat-resistant materials will melt on heated hotplates. Do not use oven protective foil, aluminium foil or plastic containers.

• Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

• Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.

• Cover saucepans with suitable lids. Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.

• Lift lids as infrequently as possible. When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

• Use a glass lid. You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.

• Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

• Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.

• Cook with only a little water. The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.

• Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suitable ongoing power level.

• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.

• If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time.

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cooking. The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer operating noises.

• Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.

Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example:

• Enamelled steel cookware

• Cast iron cookware

• Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel

Use the Cookware test to check if cookware is suitable. In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not detected, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter.

Unsuitable cookware:

Never use flow plates or cookware made of the following:

• Thin-walled normal steel

• Glass

• Clay

• Copper

• Aluminium

If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone, or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To switch off the display, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within nine minutes, it automatically switches off.

Do not heat empty items of cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. Empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the “Automatic switch-off” function does not respond in good time, which can result in excessive temperatures that damage the cookware and the glass plate. If this happens, do not touch the cookware and switch off the cooking zone.

Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology and do not indicate a fault.

• A deep humming noise similar to a transformer: Occurs when cooking at a high power level. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when you reduce the power level.

• A quiet whistling noise: This can be heard when the cookware is empty. This noise disappears when you add water or food to the cookware.

• Crackling: This noise occurs when the cookware is made from different multilayer materials, or if you use cookware of different sizes and different materials. The loudness can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking method.

• Loud whistling noises: These may arise if you are operating two cooking zones at the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling noises disappear or become quieter when you reduce the power level.

• Fan noises: The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched the hob off if the temperature measured is still too high.
