These pre- cautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. ▶ When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precau- tions must be followed, including those in the following pages. WARNING Overheated materials can cause fire or burns. ▶ Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. ▶ Do not allow pans to boil dry. Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan. During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually. Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire. ▶ Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use. A fire could occur during cooking. ▶ Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

▶ Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window cover- ings do not blow over or near the burners or heating ele- ments. They could catch on fire. Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly. ▶ Never use water on cooking fires. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE ▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set- tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set- tings. ▶ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju- bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’). ▶ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. ▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system. ▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys- tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Ex- tend Over Adjacent Surface Units. ▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate- rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi- tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should never be worn while using the appliance. ▶ Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose. ▶ Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. CAUTION The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously. WARNING To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking sur- faces. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. ▶ Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks. WARNING Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. ▶ Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. ▶ Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury. ▶ Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when nec- essary. ▶ To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. ▶ Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool. Spills of hot food may cause burns. ▶ Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. ▶ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur- face units or areas near units until they have had suffi- cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. Clean Cooktop With Caution. ▶ If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. ▶ Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. ▶ Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot.

The warranties stated herein apply to the original pur- chaser of the product warranted herein and to each suc- ceeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. 13.2 How long the warranty lasts Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original pur- chase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction.

Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch).
