The environment – Recycling instructions

2. RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our household appliances are only packaged using non-polluting, environmentally friendly, recyclable
materials. 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.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children,
especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect waste appliances.
Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain
gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration
circuit pipelines are not damaged before the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in their normal
positions to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside while playing. It is also
necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

NEVER LEAVE WASTE PACKAGING UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS
WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND DELIVER THEM TO THE NEAREST
DIFFERENTIATED COLLECTION CENTRE.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:

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 the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's working life, the user must
deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection centres for electrical and electronic waste, or deliver
it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one-for-one basis. Adequate
differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling,
processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding any negative effects on the
environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. Illicit
disposal of the product by the user will result in the application of administrative sanctions.

Safety instructions

Please note:

Beware of children in the vicinity as the warning lights indicating residual heat are out of their line of
sight. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off.
Make sure that children never touch the hob.

DUE TO THE RAPID REACTION IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY HIGH COOKING TEMPERATURES
(POWER FUNCTION LEVEL), DO NOT LEAVE THE INDUCTION HOB UNATTENDED WHEN
SWITCHED ON.

BE AWARE OF HOW RAPIDLY THE COOKING ZONES HEAT UP. DO NOT PLACE SAUCEPANS ON
THE HEAT WHEN EMPTY AS THEY MAY OVERHEAT.

DO NOT PUT EMPTY SAUCEPANS AND FRYING PANS ON COOKING ZONES WHICH HAVE BEEN
SWITCHED ON.

TAKE CARE WHILE USING «BAIN MARIE»-TYPE SAUCEPANS AS THE WATER CAN BOIL AWAY
WITHOUT THE USER REALISING. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SAUCEPAN AND THE
HOB FOR WHICH WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE.

AFTER USE, TURN OFF THE COOKING ZONE IMMEDIATELY BY PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE
BUTTON (MINUS) NOT JUST USING SAUCEPAN RECOGNITION.

FAT AND OIL CAN CATCH FIRE IF THEY OVERHEAT. YOU ARE THEREFORE RECOMMENDED
NOT TO LEAVE THE HOB WHILE PREPARING FOODS CONTAINING OIL OR FAT. IF OIL OR FAT
CATCHES FIRE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH IT WITH WATER. PLACE THE LID ON THE
SAUCEPAN AND TURN OFF THE COOKING ZONE.

THE GLASS CERAMIC SURFACE IS HIGHLY RESISTANT TO IMPACTS. HOWEVER, AVOID HARD,
SOLID OBJECTS FALLING ON THE COOKING SURFACE AS THEY MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK IF
THEY ARE SHARP.

IF IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE HOB DUE TO A SENSOR FAULT IN THE
CONTROL, IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CALL TECHNICAL
SUPPORT.

BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES. CONNECTION
CABLES MUST NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH HOT COOKING ZONES.

THE GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE MUST NOT BE USED AS A SURFACE FOR PLACING
OBJECTS.

NEVER PLACE METAL OBJECTS, SUCH AS DISHES OR CUTLERY, ON THE INDUCTION HOB
SURFACE AS THEY MAY OVERHEAT. DANGER OF BURNS!

NEVER PLACE FLAMMABLE, READILY EXPLOSIVE OR DEFORMABLE OBJECTS DIRECTLY
UNDERNEATH THE HOB.

BE CAREFUL WITH METAL OBJECTS WHICH COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE BODY AS
THEY MAY OVERHEAT IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE HOB. DANGER OF BURNS! THE
SAME RISK DOES NOT APPLY TO NON-MAGNETISABLE OBJECTS SUCH AS GOLD AND SILVER
RINGS.

NEVER HEAT SEALED PRESERVATION CONTAINERS AND MULTI-LAYER PACKAGES ON THE
COOKING ZONES. THE ENERGY TRANSFERRED COULD CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE.

Instructions for the User

4. BEFORE FIRST USE

Do not leave waste packaging unattended in the home environment. Separate the various waste
materials and take them to the nearest differentiated waste collection centre.
Remove all the REMOVABLE labels and any protective film from the appliance.
To switch on the hob, follow the instructions provided under “Use of the hob".

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 on full for at least 30
minutes. After the 30 minutes have passed, turn off the front hotplates and turn the rear hotplates on full.
This treatment is necessary in order to get rid of the "new smell" and to evaporate any humidity that has
accumulated during the manufacturing process. This is necessary to ensure 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.

5. INTENDED USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Instructions for the User

6. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE AND THE CONTROLS ON THE FRONT PANEL

6.1 The hob

The hob is an induction hob. An induction coil located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates
an alternating electromagnetic field which enters the glass ceramic and induces a thermal current in the
base of the saucepan.
In the induction cooking zone, the heat is no longer transmitted by a radiator to the food via the cooking
container, but rather the necessary heat is created directly inside the container by the inductive current.

Advantages of an induction hob

- Energy-saving cookery thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the saucepan (suitable
magnetisable cookware is required).

- Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the container placed on the hob.

- High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the saucepan.

- Rapid heating.

- Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the saucepan;
foods which overflow do not stick.

- Rapid, precise adjustment of the energy supply.

6.2 Saucepan recognition

If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted.
Malfunctions are indicated by the symbol flashing on the power level indicator. If there is a suitable

saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the hob to the preset
power level. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed from the cooking

zone; the symbol will then flash on the power level indicator. If the saucepan recognition function is
activated in spite of the saucepan or frying pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the zone itself,
only the necessary energy will be transmitted.
