• Never try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off

the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a

fire blanket.

• Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.

• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids

should not be placed on the hob surface since they

can get hot.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer, an authorized Service or similarly

qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Where the appliance is directly connected to the power

supply, an all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap is

required. Complete disconnection in compliance with

the conditions specified in overvoltage category III must

be guaranteed. The earth cable is excluded from this.

• When you route the mains cable, make sure that the

cable doesn't come into direct contact (for example us-

ing insulating sleeving) with parts that can reach tem-

peratures of more than 50°C above room temperature.
