SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - RECOMMENDATIONS

• It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they
are in operation or when they are switched off, so long as the residual heat indicator is
on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns.

• When cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as
heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly.

• Aluminium foil and plastic containers must not be placed on the hot surfaces.

• The cooking heat zone equipping the ceramic hob gives off a strong light, do not stare
at the heat source lamps.

• After every use, some cleaning of the top is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt
and grease. If left, this is recooked when the hob is used and burns giving off smoke
and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOB. We recommend you keep

the instructions for installation and use for later reference, and before installing the hob,
note its serial number below in case you need to get help from the after sales service.

. Identification plate (located under the hob’s bottom casing)

• The hob’s control area is sensitive, do not place hot containers on it.

• Never cook directly on the hob surface, use pots and pans.

• Always centre the pan well on the cooking zone used.

• Do not use the hob surface as a cutting board, or work top.

• Do not slide pans on the hob: risk of scratching.

• Do not store heavy objects above the hob, they can fall and damage it.

• Do not store any objects whatever on the hob.

• In the unlikely event of a crack appearing on the glass, immediately disconnect the unit
from the mains and contact the after-sales service directly.

INSTALLATION – IMPORTANT NOTICE

The operational setting up of household appliances in their environment
is a delicate operation that, if not done correctly, can have serious
consequences for consumer safety .

Therefore, this work must be entrusted to a professional who can carry
it out in compliance with the technical standards in force.

However, if despite this recommendation, the consumer carries out
the installation themself, HOOVER will not accept any responsibility in
case of technical failure of the product whether or not it causes
damage to goods and/or persons.

INSTALLATION – FITTING

The unit or support for the hob, as well as the walls of any adjacent units, must be made
of high temperature resisting material. In addition, the laminate covering the unit or
support should be laid using heat-resistant adhesive to prevent it coming away .

• A seal is supplied with the hob. T o install it,
. turn over the hob, glass side down, taking care to protect the glass.
