Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
4 Installation and connection
You can find out where and how best to install your ap-
pliance here. You will also learn how to connect your
appliance to the power supply.
4.1 Electrical connection
The appliance must be connected to the mains by a li-
censed expert. You must comply with the requirements
of your electricity supplier.
¡ If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer's Customer Service or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent any risk.
¡ Any damage arising from the appliance being con-
nected incorrectly will invalidate the warranty.
Information on the electrical connection by the
installer:
¡ If the plug is not accessible following installation, an
all-pole isolating unit with a contact clearance of at
least 3 mm must be available on the installation
side. This is not necessary if the appliance is con-
nected via a plug that is accessible to the user.
¡ Electrical safety: The cooker corresponds to safety
class I and may only be used in conjunction with a
safety earth terminal.
¡ To connect the appliance, use H 05 VV-F cables or
other equivalent cables.
Important information about the electrical
connection
Note the following information and ensure that:
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live com-
ponents.
Hold the mains plug with dry hands only.
▶
Never pull out the mains plug from the socket while
▶
the appliance is in operation.
Pull out the power cable directly at the plug and
▶
never by pulling the power cable as this may be-
come damaged.
¡ Fit the mains plug and socket together.
¡ The mains plug can be accessed at all times.
¡ The cross section of the cable is sufficient.
¡ The mains cable is not kinked, crushed, modified or
severed.
¡ If required, the mains cable must only be replaced
by a qualified electrician. A replacement mains
cable is available from the after-sales service.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡ The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
¡ Unused residual heat increases energy consump-
tion.
¡ Do not use any multiple plugs or multi-connectors
and extension cords.
¡ The earthing system is correctly installed.
¡ If using a residual current device, only use one that
bears the mark
. The presence of this mark is the
only way to be sure that it fulfils all the applicable
regulations.
¡ The mains cable does not come into contact with
heat sources.
