Using the appliance

• Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.

• Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with

the glass or the hot saucepan.

• Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should
not be placed near to the engaged appliance.

• Do not place any metallic object on the cooktop except for
pans or cooking utensils. In case of untimely engaging or
residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.

• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This
could become very hot and catch fire.

• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not

Precautions not to damage the appliance

• 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 use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the glass cooktop since they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.

• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic cooktops.

• 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).

surface.
