Using the appliance

 Switch the cooktop off after use.
 Keep an eye on the cooktop when cooking with grease or

oils as they may potentially ignite.

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

cooktop.

 Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance comes

into contact with the ceramic glass or a hot saucepan.

 Magnetic objects (credit cards, calculators, etc.) should not be

placed near the cooktop when in use.

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

not be placed on the cooktop surface as they can get hot.

 In general, do not place any metallic objects except for cooking

containers on the glass surface. In case of untimely activation
or residual heat, they may heat, melt or even burn.

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

This may become very hot and catch fire.

Precautions not to damage the appliance

 Raw pan bases (i.e. not enamelled cast iron pots) or damaged

saucepans may damage the ceramic glass surface.

 Grit or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass

surface.

 Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the ceramic glass.
 Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
 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 ceramic glass

cooktop.

 Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not come

into contact with the cooking zones. These material may affect
or damage the ceramic glass when cooling: switch on the
appliance and remove immediately from the cooking zone (be
careful not to burn yourself).

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

surface.

 Never place any hot pots or cookware on the control panel.
 If a drawer is situated under the installed appliance, make sure

the space between the contents of the drawer and the base of
the appliance is at least two (2) cm. This is essential to
guarantee correct ventilation.

 Never put flammable objects (for example sprays) into a drawer

underneath the cooktop. Cutlery drawers must be heat ­resistant.

In case of appliance failure

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

at the switchboard.

 If the ceramic glass is cracked or damaged, unplug the

appliance and contact after sales service.

 Servicing must be only done by qualified 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.

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.

Other warnings

 Ensure that the pot or pan is always centred on the cooking

zone. The bottom of the pan must cover as much of the cooking
zone as possible.

 For users with a heart pacemaker, the magnetic field could

influence its operating. We recommend discussing this with
their health practitioner.

 Do not to use aluminium or plastic containers: they could melt

on cooking zones that are still hot.

 NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Always switch off

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

DO NOT USE INTERMEDIATE REMOVABLE

ACCESSORIES TO HEAT PANS WHICH ARE NOT

ADAPTED TO INDUCTION.

THIS RISKS BURNS AND DETERIORATION OF THE

COOKTOP.
