Safety Information

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp when the appliance is in use. Route the cable so that it cannot be trapped or damaged in any way.
Ensure that the mains plug is connected exclusively to a properly installed, easily accessible mains socket that has a voltage corresponding to the specifications on the rating plate. The mains socket must remain easily accessible even following connection.
After use, always disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. When doing so, always take hold of the plug, not the mains cable.
Just switching off the appliance is not sufficient, as the appliance is subject to mains voltage as long as the plug is connected to the mains power socket.
Protect the cooktop from damage: Do not load it unevenly and do not allow objects to fall onto it. Do not continue to use the appliance if either the cooktop or the housing is damaged. If this is the case, immediately remove the plug from the mains power socket and arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.
If the surface of the cooktop is cracked, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket to avoid receiving an electric shock. Ensure that the appliance, the power cable and the power plug are never immersed in water or other fluids.

DO NOT TOUCH THE AREA WHERE A HOT COOKING POT HAS JUST BEEN STANDING. DIRECTLY AFTER COOKING, THIS AREA CAN BE VERY HOT.
NIS APPLIANCE MAY BE USED BY CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 8 YEARS OR MORE AND BY PERSONS WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND/ OR KNOWLEDGE IF THEY ARE BEING SUPERVISED OR HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED WITH REGARD TO THE SAFE USE OF THE APPLIANCE AND HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE POTENTIAL RISKS.

ADDITIONALLY, NEVER POSITION THE APPLIANCE BELOW FLAMMABLE OBJECTS, ESPECIALLY NOT BELOW CURTAINS.
NEVER HEAT A SECURELY CLOSED CONTAINER. HEAT EXPANSION CAN QUICKLY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
NEVER HEAT AN EMPTY CONTAINER. THIS WOULD OVERHEAT VERY QUICKLY, LEADING TO A RISK OF FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE COOKTOP.
DO NOT PLACE ANY METALUC OBJECTS, SUCH AS KITCHEN UTENSILS OR CUTLERY, ON THE COOKTOP. THEY CAN BECOME VERY HOT IN THE INDUCTION FIELD.
BE CAREFUL WHEN HEATING SMALL AMOUNTS OF OIL! DO NOT USE A HIGH POWER OR TEMPERATURE LEVEL. OTHERWISE, THE OIL CAN BURN AND CATCH FIRE! NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH BURNING OIL! SMOTHER THE FLAMES BY COVERING THEM WITH A SUITABLE LID OR PLATE.
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE ON A METAL TABLE OR OTHER METALLIC SURFACE. THIS MAY HEAT UP AND THUS CAUSE A FIRE. OR THE APPLIANCE COULD BECOME IRREPARABLY DAMAGED.

THE APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH A VENTILATION FAN ON THE BOTTOM. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT A FREE AIR INTAKE IS GUARANTEED. LEAVE AT LEAST 10 CM SPACE FREE AROUND THE APPLIANCE AND 60 CM ABOVE IT.

To avoid hazard caused by electromagnetic fields

• Maintain a minimum distance of 1 m from appliances that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (e.g. screens, clocks, magnetic storage media, electronic appliances, etc.). • Medical devices such as pacemakers, hearing aids and other devices may need to be kept at a greater distance. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of the medical device!
