∙ Always ensure that air is able to circulate
freely underneath the unit. A minimum
distance of 10 cm to any wall must also
be observed.
∙ The ventilation slots on the unit must not
be covered during use.
∙ Do not operate the unit , unless suitable
cookware (with food in) has been put
on the cooking surface. When an empty
pot or pan is being heated, the overheat
protection will automatically turn the
appliance off. In this case, however,
damage to cookware or the unit itself
cannot be completely ruled out.

cookware, the ceramic glass surfaces
may heat up. There is therefore a
danger of burns.

catch fi re when over-heated.
∙ Do not attempt to move the unit while
there is cookware on the ceramic surface.
∙ Do not pull or slide cookware over the
control panel, and do not place any
cookware on it.

socket
- after use,
- in case of any malfunction, and also
- before cleaning the appliance.

socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free.
∙ The power cord must be kept well away
from any hot part of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
