WARNING
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
-
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
-
WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
-
CAUTION! The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
-
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then cover the flames with, for example, a lid or a fire blanket.
-
The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
-
The appliance is not designed for heating rooms.
-
Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or scalded.
-
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.
-
Never open the casing of the appliance.
-
Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
-
The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable. For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it to break.
-
If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials. Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
WARNING! In case of hotplate glass breakage:
-
Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
-
Do not touch the appliance surface.
-
Do not use the appliance.

The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.
Gas hob
-
CAUTION! The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use. Keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
-
The burner components are hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant materials.
-
The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In the case of smaller distances, the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.
Safe use
-
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
-
Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects could melt, become hot or catch fire.
-
Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
-
The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
-
When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.
-
Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
-
Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.
-
Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can burn into the burner caps and pan supports.
-
The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
-
Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
-
Do not use griddle plates or baking plates.
-
Clean the burner parts regularly for the safe and correct operation of the burners.
-
Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber feet are missing, please contact our service department.
-
Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
-
Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water. Rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
