• WARNING: During use, the appliance and its exposed parts become hot. Be careful to avoid the exposed parts of the heating elements.
• Never use a steam cleaner.
• Objects made of metal, such as knives, forks, spoons, covers, or aluminum foil, should not be put on the hob as they can become hot.
• WARNING: Leaving fat or oil unattended on the hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then carefully cover the flames with an object such as a cover or a fire blanket.
• WARNING: Never leave objects on the hob as they pose a fire hazard.
• The appliance must not be operated with an external time switch or a separate remote control system.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use of the appliance and have understood the hazards involved.

How can I avoid damaging the glass ceramic surface of my V-ZUG GK46TIS.1F hob?
To prevent damage to your V-ZUG GK46TIS.1F hob, please follow these guidelines:
• In case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow it to cool down completely. Do not put any dishes on it or cool it with cold water under any circumstances.
