YOUR GAS-INDUCTION HOB
What you should pay attention to
Connection and repair
Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have been
incorporated in the hob such as thermo-electric flame protection,
a residual heat indicator and a cook-ing time limiter. Th ere are
nevertheless a number of precautions you should take just like with
other appliances.
•
This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
•
Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by the
service technician.
•
Close the gas supply and disconnect the electricity from the
appliance before starting any repair work. Preferably unplug the
appliance, switch the (automatic) fuse(s) off or, in the event of a
permanent connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to
zero.
•
Do not continue to use an appliance whose cooking surface is
showing a break or cracks. Switch the appliance off immediately.
Disconnect it from the power supply to avoid electric shocks and
contact your service agent.
During use (general)
•
Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
•
Th is cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to be
used for food preparation only.
•
•
When you use the hob for the fi rst time you will notice a "new
smell". Th is is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell
will soon disappear.
•
Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use.
•
Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
•
Do not use the cooking area as storage space.
Th e ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. A spice
•
jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could cause it to
break.
•
Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch the
appliance off immediately, unplug it to avoid electric shocks, and
call the service department.
•
Never put any metal objects such as baking trays, biscuit tins,
saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking zone. These can heat up
extremely quickly and cause burns.
