21. All cabinetry and materials used in the installation must be able to withstand a minimum temperature of
80°C whilst in use. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat
damage or discolouration at temperatures below the guidelines given above. Any damage caused by the
appliance being installed without adhering to the temperature limits set out above will be the liability of the
owner. To avoid any hazards, limit access to the under-bench section of the cooktop.

22. The appliance must be installed and put into operation by an authorised person under the conditions
provided by the manufacturer in this manual. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any
damage that might occur due to faulty installation.

23. Damage can occur to bench tops if pots and pans are allowed to overlap the bench top. This can result
in heat being transferred to the bench top. Ensure that correct sized pots & pans are used. Pans should
be lifted on and off the cooktop surface and not dragged. Cooking zones should not be switched on
without cookware placed on it. Do not place empty cookware onto the cooking zones when in use.

24. Do not leave the cooktop unattended while cooking with solid or liquid oils. There may be flaming up in
conditions of extreme heating. Never pour water onto the flames occurring from oil. Immediately turn the
cooktop off and cover the pan with a lid or fire blanket in order to smother the flame.

25. Users with pacemakers should keep their upper body at least 30cm away from any operational inductive
