SAFETY

Precautions before using

 Unpack all the materials.
 The installation and connection of the appliance has to be

done by approved specialists. The manufacturer cannot be
responsible for damage caused by errors in installation.

 To be used, the appliance must be correctly installed in a

kitchen unit and an approved work surface.

 This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of

food, and should not be used for any other domestic,
commercial or industrial purposes.

 Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic

glass.

 Do not change or alter the appliance.
 The cooking plate cannot be used as a freestanding unit or

as a working surface.

 The appliance must be grounded and connected to ensure

that it conforms to local standards.

 Do not use any extension cable to connect the appliance.
 The appliance cannot be used above a dishwasher or a

tumble-dryer: steam may damage electronic appliances.

 The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an

external timer or separate remote control system.

Using the appliance

 Switch the heating zones off after use.
 Do not leave the hob unattended whilst cooking so as to help

to avoid fire or damage to the hob or pans.

 Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the

appliance.

 Make sure no cables from any other appliances etc. are in

contact with the glass or the pan(s) being used.

 Magnetically-sensitive objects (credit cards, floppy disks,

calculators) should not be placed near to the appliance,
especially when it is turned on.

5

 Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should

not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

 Do not place any metallic object except heating containers

on the glass surface.

 Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet.

This could become very hot and catch fire.

 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years

and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.

 Children must not play with the appliance.
 Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by

children without adult supervision.

Precautions not to damage the appliance

 Raw pan bottoms, cast iron pans (including enamelled cast

iron), or damaged saucepans may damage the ceramic
glass.

 Sand or other abrasive materials may damage the ceramic

glass.

 Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic

surface.

 Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans or other

items.

 Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance is in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

 Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic

surface.

 Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not

make contact with the heating zones. These may cause
breaks or other alterations to the vitroceramic glass by
cooling. Switch off the appliance and clear the zone but be
careful not to burn yourself.

 WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking

surface.

6

 Never place any hot container over the control panel.
 If a drawer is situated under the appliance, make sure the

space between the content of the drawer and the underside
of the appliance is large enough (2 cm minimum). This is
essential to guarantee correct ventilation.

 Never put any inflammable object into the drawer situated

under the hob. Any drawers and items within them must be
resistant to heat.

Precautions in case of appliance failure

 If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the

electrical supply.

 If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug

the appliance and contact customer service.

 Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the

appliance by yourself.

 WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance

to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Other protections

 Make sure that the cookware is always centred on the

cooking zone. The bottom of the pot should cover as much
of the cooking zone as possible.

 For users of cardiac pacemakers, the magnetic field may

affect their operation. We recommend getting information
from your retailer or your doctor.

 Do not place aluminium or synthetic material containers on

the hob: they could melt on residual hot cooking zones.

 NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the

appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire
blanket.

THE USE OF EITHER POOR QUALITY POTS OR ANY
INDUCTION ADAPTOR PLATE FOR NON-MAGNETIC

COOKWARE RESULTS IN A WARRANTY BREACH.

IN THIS CASE, THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD

RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE HOB

AND/OR ITS ENVIRONMENT.
