Safe use

WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable.

• Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
• When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions 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.
  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

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

• Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter!

Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned 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. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size.
• Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
• The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also im-prove efficiency.

Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.

• When using a timer, always supervise the cooktop.
• Do not allow anything to boil over or burn.

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 surfaces.
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.

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 necessary.

• 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 surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient 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.

Overview of the most common types of damage

Here you can find an overview of the most common types of damage and suggestions how to avoid them.

Stains

Cause:                                        Remedy

• Boiled-over food: Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass scraper.
• Unsuitable cleaning agents:  Use cleaning agents that are suitable for glass-ceramic cooktops.

Scratches

Cause:                                       Remedy

• Salt, sugar and sand: Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.
• Cookware with rough bases: Check the cookware.

Discolorations

Cause:             Remedy

• Unsuitable cleaning agents: Use cleaning agents that are suit-able for glass ceramic cooktops.
• Pot abrasion (e.g. aluminum): Lift pots and pans when moving them.

Environmental protection and energy saving

Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

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.

• Use the residual heat of the cooking zone. For longer cooking times, turn the cooking zone off 5-10 minutes be-fore the end of the cooking time.
  Unused residual heat increases energy consumption.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this warranty covers & Who it applies to:

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch 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 (not a display, “as is”, or previously re-turned 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 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.

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 purchase. 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. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of 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. 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.

Repair/replace as your exclusive remedy
During this warranty period, Bosch 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 Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’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 Bosch 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.

Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer- defective Products only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. 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). Notwith-standing the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have a 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, Bosch 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.
