4. BEFORE FIRST USE

Do not leave the packing in the home environment. Separate the various waste materials and take
them to the nearest special garbage collection centre.

Before cooking for the first time the hob has to be cleaned.
Following this, put a saucepan of water on the front hotplates and turn them full on for at least 30
minutes. After 30 minutes turn off the front hotplates and turn the rear hotplates and the central
hotplate, if present, full on. This treatment is necessary in order to get rid of the “new smell” and to
evaporate the humidity that may have collected during the manufacturing process. That is, it must be
done so that the electronic circuits and the control buttons work properly.

If the controls do not work properly after 30 minutes, it means that not all the humidity has
evaporated: leave the hotplates on until all the humidity has evaporated and then turn off the
hob.

Remove all the removable labels and any protective sheeting.
To switch on the hob, follow the instructions provided in point "7".
