Set the cooktop extractor to a low setting for about
15 minutes or activate the automatic after-run after
every use in the recirculated air mode.
Effects on pacemakers, hearing aids and metal
implants
INFO Induction cooktops generate a high-frequency
electromagnetic field in the area of the
cooking zones. The cooking zones may affect
pacemakers, hearing aids or metal implants
negatively or disturb their function when in
close proximity. A reduced function of the
pacemaker is unlikely.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of your medical
device or your doctor.
