If there is a drawer directly underneath the appliance without any wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, these must be made of heat-resistant material. 6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Damage to the appliance In the event of any damage to the appliance, it must be turned off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging the unit or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.

Proceed as follows: ^ Turn the knob clockwise past "12" to the n position. ^ Turn the knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. Overheating protection Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter).

To turn off the outer/extended zone, turn the knob counter clockwise to "0". The heating elements cycle on and off to maintain a constant temperature. 15 Selecting cookware The cooking surface Your ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface. [. . . ] Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop. Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents or strong cleaners, e. g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could damage the surface of the appliance. [. . . ]
