What are the general safety precautions for using the V-ZUG GK47TIMS hob?
Please follow these general safety precautions when using your V-ZUG GK47TIMS hob:
• Read the operating instructions before using the appliance for the first time.
• 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. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without supervision.
• If an appliance is not equipped with a mains cable and a plug or other means for disconnecting from the mains with a contact opening on each pole complying with the conditions of overvoltage category III for full isolation, an isolating device must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical installation in accordance with the installation regulations.
• If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Customer Services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
What are the appliance-specific safety precautions for the V-ZUG GK47TIMS hob?
For the V-ZUG GK47TIMS, please observe the following appliance-specific safety precautions:
• WARNING: If the surface is cracked or there is damage to the material thickness, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the electricity supply in order to avoid a possible electric shock.
• WARNING: During use, the appliance and its exposed parts become hot. Please be careful to avoid the exposed parts of the heating elements.
• Never use a steam cleaner.
• Objects made of metal, e.g. knives, forks, spoons, covers or aluminium 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 can 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.
How can I avoid damaging my V-ZUG GK47TIMS hob?
To avoid damaging your V-ZUG GK47TIMS hob, please follow these guidelines:
• In the case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow to cool down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Do not cool with cold water under any circumstances.
• Do not climb onto the appliance.
• To avoid damaging the silicon grouting, do not put hot cookware on the frame.
• Do not cut or prepare food on the surface or drop hard objects onto it. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
• Make sure that no sugary foods or juices end up on the hot cooking zones. This can damage the surface. If sugary foods or juices do end up on the hot cooking zones, remove these immediately with a glass ceramic hob scraper (while the hob is still hot).
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
• Pots with pure copper or aluminium bases should not be used for cooking as they leave behind traces that can be difficult to clean. If the traces are not removed immediately after cooking with a suitable cleaning agent, they can be permanently burned on and therefore permanently ruin the visual appearance of the appliance.
• Sliding pots and cookware across the glass ceramic causes scratches. You can largely avoid these by lifting pots and cookware when putting them into place.
• Signs of usage such as scratches or visible material abrasion from pots or cookware are normal with daily use. The appliance continues to function perfectly and safety is always guaranteed.
• The glass ceramic used is of the best quality available on the market, but it is not completely scratch-proof.
What should I know before using the V-ZUG GK47TIMS for the first time?
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accordance with the separate installation instructions. This work should be carried out by a qualified fitter/electrician.
During the first few hours of use, a cooking zone may give off an unpleasant smell. This is normal for new appliances. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
