Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1 Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative sanctions.

The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental care

Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot

accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

6. USING THE HOB

6.1 General warnings and advice

On first connection to the electrical mains, an operating check will be carried out automatically and all indicator lights will come on for a few seconds.

After use, turn off the hot plates used returning the appropriate knob to the “O” position. Never rely solely on the cookware detector.

Never place metal objects, such as dishes or cutlery, on the induction hob surface as they may overheat: Danger of burns.

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off the cooking zones and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the hot plate is still lukewarm to prevent the surface from being damaged.

The hob is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the saucepan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.

Instructions for the user

To prevent damage to the appliance or adjacent units, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

6.3 Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking

On first connection to the electrical mains, an operating check will be carried out automatically and all indicator lights will come on for a few seconds.

Use only cookware with bases suitable for induction hot plates.

Suitable cookware:

• Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.

• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base.

• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base.

Unsuitable cookware:

• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and

start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display,

it means the pan is not suitable.

Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom. Using a cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system so that cookware is not detected on the hot plate.
