Risk of damage
D Danger of breakage. Do not allow any hard or pointed objects to drop onto the ceramic sur
face.
D If the ceramic surface is cracked or broken, the appliance must be switched off and the mas
ter switch on the front of the appliance must be turned off.
D Make sure that no meltable material e.g. sugary foods, plastics, aluminium foil, enamel, etc.
gets onto the ceramic surface or under a pot. Remove the material immediately when hot
before it sticks permanently to the ceramic surface.
D Do not scratch the ceramic surface, e. g. by pushing cookware with rough bottoms, by using
defective enamel pots or grains of sand caught between pot bottom and the ceramic sur
face.
D Do not push cookware over the ceramic surface or allow it to stand on the surrounding silic
one seal.
D Switch off the heating zone if there is no pan on it. This prevents unintentional heating if an
empty pot or pan is placed on the hob.
D Do not place any empty pots or pans onto the cooking zone when the appliance is switched
on. Your cookware or the ceramic cooking range could otherwise be damaged.
D Cookware can be destroyed if it is heated up too much. The base of the pot or pan can
come away from the core. The heat will no longer be transferred to the pot or pan base, and
hence to the food, sufficiently quickly. The induction generator detects overheating and
switches off the power supply.
D Do not place hot cookware on stainless steel table tops or stainless steel work surfaces,
otherwise there may be a danger of the stainless steel table tops and stainless steel work
surfaces warping with lasting damage.
D Do not spray off or clean the appliance with water hoses, high-pressure cleaners, high-pres
sure steam cleaners or general steam cleaners.
D Do not spray foam cleaner on front panels and appliance panels. The foam cleaner gets into
the smallest of cracks and destroys the electrical and electronic systems.
D If the appliance has not been used for some time, have customer service check it for cor
rect operation.
