WARNINGS:
when the plate is switched on for the first time, or if it has remained unused for a long period, it should
be dried for 30 minutes on switch position n° 1. This will eliminate any moisture that may have been
absorbed by the insulating material.
To correctly use the appliance, remember:

- to place a pan on the plate before switching it on.

- To always use pans with flat and very thick bottoms (see fig. 2).

- To never use pans that are smaller than the plate diameters.

- To dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate.

- Never leave the appliance unattended when the plates are being used. Particularly make sure that the
pan handles are safely positioned and keep a check on foods requiring oil and grease to cook, since
these products can easily catch fire.

- The machine must not be used by people (including children) with impaired mental or physical
capacities, or without experience of using electrical devices, unless supervised or instructed by an
expert adult responsible for their care and safety. Children should not be allowed to play with the
equipment.

- The plates will remain hot for a period of time after use. Never touch them with the hands or other objects
in order to prevent burns.

- Immediately disconnect the appliance from the electricity main if cracks are noted on the surfaces of
the plates.

- If the built-in hot plate has a lid, any spilt food should be immediately removed from this before
it is opened.

- If the appliance has a glass lid, this could shatter when the hot plate becomes hot. Always
switch off all the burners before closing the lid.

- The appliance must not be operated with an external timer or a separate remote-control system.

- Do not attempt to change the technical characteristics of the product because it can be
dangerous.

- If you should not to use this appliance any more (or replace an old model), before disposing of
it, make it inoperative in conformity with current law on the protection of health and the
prevention of environmental pollution by making its dangerous parts harmless, especially for
children who might play on an abandoned appliance.
