2. Important Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, burns, or injury.

- Automatic Shutdown: The cooktop features an automatic shutdown sensor that turns off the heating zone if a pan is removed, preventing accidents.
- Safety Lock: Utilize the safety lock feature to prevent accidental operation, especially by children or pets. Press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds to activate/deactivate.
