Important safety Information

It is important that this instruction brochure be kept together with the appliance for future
consultation. If the appliance is sold or transferred to another person, ascertain that the brochure
is also given, in order that the new owner be aware of the correct use of the apparatus and the rela­tive instructions.

These instructions have been compiled for your own safety, and that of others, we therefore
request you to read them carefully before installing and using the appliance.

adults. Take care, therefore, that children do not
attempt to play with it.

• The work of installation and connection should

according to regulations in force.

which may be necessary for the installation of the
appliance should be carried out only by qualified
personnel.

• It is dangerous to modify, or attempt to modify, the
characteristics of this appliance.

• Use only flat bottomed saucepans having the
same diameter as the electric plate. They may be
slightly larger, but never smaller.

• Particular care should be taken when cooking with
oil or fat.

• When in use the cooking surface and saucepans
become very hot. Children should be supervised
if they need to approach. Do not forget that the
surface and the saucepans remain hot for a long
time after the appliance has been switched off.

• If the appliance is fitted with a cover, its function is
to protect the surface from dust when closed and
to accumulate splashes of grease when open. Do
not use for other purposes.

• This appliance is fed by 230 V mono, bi, triphase
voltage. A multiphase connection without a neutral
(400 V) could provoke the destruction of the
cooking plate/zone.

Assistance Centre or authorized retailer, and use
only original spareparts.

• n case of fault, do not attempt to correct it
yourself; repairs carried out by unqualified
persons may cause damage to materials or

indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

• The appliance should be cleaned after each use, in
order to remain in good condition for a long period
and to avoid disfunctioning of the burners and
ignitors if fitted (automatic ignition). Fruit juices and
sugar which are spilt on the electric plate

advise you to clean immediately as they could
cause irremediable damage to the appliance.
