It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

•This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

•Any installation and electrical work must be undertaken by a qualified electrician. The appliance must be installed according to the instructions.

•It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify the product in any way.

•Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with water. Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.

•Always ensure that the control knobs are in the "OFF" position when not in use.

•Hobs become very hot with use and retain their heat for a long period after use. You must therefore take great care when using the appliance, supervise children at ALL times and do NOT allow them to touch the surface or be in the vicinity of the appliance, until it has cooled after use.Children also can injure themselves by pulling pots or pans off the hob.

•The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are turned on. Turn them on only when you have placed a saucepan onto the cooking area.

•Always ensure that the control knobs are in the "OFF" position when not in use.

•The residual heat indicator lights up to show if a cooking zone is still hot.

•If you use an electric socket close to the hob, take care when using an electrical appliance that the cable does not touch the hot surface of the hob.

•Do not leave items on the hob surface. Any items you place on the hob could be damaged if the hob is accidentally turned on.

•Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.

•Never leave the hob unattended when working with oil and fats because of the danger of fire.

•Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob surface.

•Always carefully lift saucepans on and off the hob to prevent accident caused by spillage. Do not slide them across the hob as this may scratch the surface. Ensure saucepans and cooking utensils are large enough to contain the food and prevent spillage.

•Always remove any spillages from the surface of the hob immediately, do not allow spills to dry and harden.

•If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area of the hob, the handle may become hot. Please ensure that you protect your hands before touching the handle.

•NEVER cook directly on the hob surface without a saucepan/cooking utensil.

•Sugar (solid or liquid) as well as plastic should never get onto the hot surface of the hob, as this could result in fissures and cracks appearing when the hob cools down. Spills of sugar or melted plastic material must be removed while the hob is still warm and before the remains have set. Scrape off the remains of sugar or plastic with a scraper. Protect your hands.

•Use only pans with flat bases without rough edges, to avoid scratching the surface of the hob.

•A defective hob surface will allow liquid to penetrate onto the electrical connections. If any cracks appear on the hob surface, switch OFF immediately. Isolate the appliance from the electricity supply and inform your local Electrolux Service Force.

•Certain food, plastic items and aerosols can be affected by heat and should NOT be stored above or below the hob unit.

•Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

Refer to your local Electrolux Service Force Centre. Always insist in genuine Electrolux spare parts.
