cautions not to damage the appliance

Pr

 Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage

the ceramic glass.

 Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
 Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
 Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
 Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

 Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
 Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.

These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do
not burn yourself).

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

content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guaranty correct ventilation.

 Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the

vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.

recommend getting information to the retailer or of the doctor.
