Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.

Supervise elderly or infirm when using the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference and pass them on to any future user.

Building in and connection

If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed, it must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This appliance must not be

installed over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, refrigerator, freezer or fridge-freezer. The high temperatures radiated by it could damage the appliance below.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

For safety reasons the appliance

must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

Use this appliance for the

preparation of food only. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

This appliance must not be set up

or operated in the open air.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these

operating instructions.

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury keep children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

The appliance gets hot when in

use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding.

Before discarding an old

appliance, switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. See "Disposal of your old appliance or machine" for further details.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use pots or pans on the

ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges.These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch.

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get on the ceramic surface when it is hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and carefully, while they are still hot, scrape off all remains of these materials using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking. Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Unless the pan manufacturer

states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

To prevent the risk of spillages etc.

burning on, remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
