Warning: Hazard of injury and burns!

Casing surfaces and heating plates become hot during use and fi rstly stay hot after switch-off! Thus, act with caution:

• We recommend using pot cloths and appropriate cooking utensils!

• Do not use the appliance´s upper side as depositing rack or working top as it will get hot when operating the appliance! As protection against fi re, do generally not put objects made of paper, plastic, fabric or other infl ammable material on hot surfaces!

• Only use suitable pots or pans with sound, even bottom and appropriate diameter (also fi re-proof glass or porcelain). If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, you will waste energy. The heating plate and the pot bottom must always be clean and dry.

• Do not use cooking vessels made of plastic, inferior enamel, porcelain or aluminium foil. Attention! Hazard of fi re! Overheated fats and oils can infl ame. Therefore, food containing fats and oils may only be prepared under supervision!

• Never splash cold water on the hot heating plate!

• Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before cleaning or moving them!

• The cover can be removed for cleaning. Please ensure that he cover will only be closed when the appliance is switched off and the heating plates have cooled down. Observe the following when setting up the appliance: o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.). o Place it beyond children’s reach. o Leave an appropriate ventilation distance to all sides to avoid damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured. o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas fl ame etc.) or in explosive environments, where infl ammable liquids or gases are located. Attention! Hazard of fi re! This appliance is not qualifi ed for installation.

• Do not use the appliance as space heater.

• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.11 Operating the appliance Cleaning and maintenance

• Before the fi rst use, heat up each heating plate without a pot for approximately 5 minutes at maximum temperature. Thus, the plate coating gets its optimal protection effect. Please disregard the temporary formation of harmless smoke.

• The cooking plates are equipped with a patented thermostatic system that allows a continuous fi ne adjustment.

• Your cooking plate always heats up with the full power until the temperature is reached, which corresponds to the selected setting. Through the whole heating period the pilot lamp glows up. It turns off as soon as the adjusted temperature is reached. By the time the heating plate heats again to maintain the adjusted temperature, the pilot lamp glows up again. This illumination/extinction repeats consistently.

• After a while you will certainly fi nd the applicable settings for your dishes. Then readjustment is not necessary anymore. The following scale is suitable for orientation: Switch off your appliance in time, and use the residual heat stored in the heating plates for keeping dishes warm. Always unplug and let cool down the appliance before cleaning. Never immerse appliance, power cord or plug in water for cleaning.

• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and some dishwashing detergent.

• Keep the heating plates dry. Moisture and vapor leads to rust.

• Treat the surface of the heating plates with a suitable care product from time to time.

• Never use abrasives, solvents, steel wool or pointed objects!

• Never treat the appliance with a steam cleaner!12 Extended product information in accordance with the EU regulation 66/2014 (Energy Saving Regulations) Test procedure The product was tested according to the test standard DIN EN 60350-2: Household electric cooking appliances – Part 2: Hobs – Methods for measuring performance User information – Saving energy and resources Tips for energy saving:
