3 Environmental protection and energy-saving

3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.

Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.

Tip: For frying pans, cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the pan base is usually smaller.

√ The energy is targeted at the cookware. If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

√ Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

√ If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

√ If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

√ Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.

√ Large cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

√ More water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.

√ For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into consideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.

Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable.

Cookware Materials Properties

Recommended cookware	Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
	Ferromagnetic cookware made of enameled steel, cast iron, or special induction cookware made of stainless steel.	This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
	Cookware bases with aluminum content. These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.

Not suitable Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminum.

Notes

• Do not use adapter plates between the cooktop and the cookware.
• Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.

15 STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

15.1 What this warranty covers & Who it applies to

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances ("Thermador") in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Thermador appliance sold to you ("Product"), provided that the Product was purchased:

• For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
  ■ New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
  ■ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.

The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty.

Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Thermador to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

15.2 How long the warranty lasts

Thermador warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred and thirty (730) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.

15.3 Repair/replace as your exclusive remedy

During this warranty period, Thermador or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Thermador will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador's sole discretion, for an additional charge).

Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Thermador at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Thermador's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Thermador will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider.

Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Thermador will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thermador will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Thermador would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Thermador will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or

costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.
