1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. IT MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE HOB. WE ADVISE YOU TO READ THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE HOB. INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC USE AND CONFORMS TO THE EEC DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN BUILT TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION: COOKING AND HEATING OF FOOD; ALL OTHER USES ARE CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE. THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR USE OTHER THAN AS INDICATED.

NEVER OBSTRUCT THE OPENINGS AND SLITS PROVIDED FOR VENTILATION AND HEAT DISPERSAL.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR HEATING ROOMS.

THE IDENTIFICATION PLATE CONTAINING THE TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND BRAND NAME IS IN A VISIBLE POSITION UNDER THE CASING OF THE APPLIANCE. A COPY OF THE IDENTIFICATION PLATE IS INCLUDED IN THE BOOKLET: IT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE APPROPRIATE SPACE ON THE BACK OF THE COVER. DO NOT REMOVE THIS PLATE FOR ANY REASON.

BEFORE THE APPLIANCE IS PUT INTO OPERATION, ALL LABELS AND PROTECTIVE FILMS APPLIED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE MUST BE REMOVED.

TAKE CARE NOT TO SPILL SUGAR OR SWEET MIXTURES ON THE HOB WHILE COOKING OR TO PLACE MATERIALS OR SUBSTANCES WHICH COULD MELT ON IT (PLASTIC OR TINFOIL). IF THIS HAPPENS, TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE, TURN OFF THE HEAT IMMEDIATELY AND CLEAN THE SURFACE WITH THE SCRAPER PROVIDED WHILE THE PLATE IS STILL WARM. IF THE

GLASS CERAMIC HOB IS NOT CLEANED IMMEDIATELY, THERE IS A RISK THAT INCRUSTATIONS WILL BE LEFT THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE ONCE THE HOB HAS COOLED.

DO NOT USE METALLIC SPONGES AND SHARP SCRAPERS AS THEY WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE. USE NORMAL NON-ABRASIVE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING WOODEN OR PLASTIC UTENSILS IF NECESSARY.

NEVER PLACE SAUCEPANS WITH BASES WHICH ARE NOT PERFECTLY FLAT AND SMOOTH ON THE COOKING HOB.

THE APPLIANCE BECOMES VERY HOT DURING USE. SUITABLE HEAT-PROOF GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN FOR ALL OPERATIONS.

ENSURE THAT THE SENSOR BUTTONS ARE ALWAYS KEPT CLEAN AS THE APPLIANCE MAY INTERPRET DIRTY MARKS AS AN INTENTIONAL FINGER CONTACT. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS OF ANY KIND (SAUCEPANS, TOWELS, ETC.) ON THE SENSORS. IF FOOD OVERFLOWS ONTO THE SENSOR BUTTONS, YOU ARE ADVISED TO TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE.

TURN OFF THE COOKING ZONES IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE USING THE CONTROL KNOBS ON THE OVEN.

General instructions

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CONSULT THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAFETY STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND FOR THE VENTILATION FUNCTIONS. IN YOUR INTERESTS AND FOR YOUR SAFETY IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY LAW THAT THE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING OF ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES IS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. OUR APPROVED INSTALLERS GUARANTEE A SATISFACTORY JOB. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES MUST ALWAYS BE UNINSTALLED BY COMPETENT PERSONS.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER GRID, CHECK THE DATA ON THE PLATE AGAINST THE DATA FOR THE GRID ITSELF.

BEFORE CARRYING OUT INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE WORK, MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE POWER GRID.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION, CARRY OUT A QUICK TEST ON THE APPLIANCE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED LATER IN THIS MANUAL. SHOULD THE APPLIANCE NOT FUNCTION, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY AND CALL THE NEAREST TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE.

IF THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE IS DAMAGED, CONTACT THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT.

IT IS OBLIGATORY FOR ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TO BE EARTHED ACCORDING TO THE METHODS LAID DOWN BY SAFETY REGULATIONS.

DURING USE THE APPLIANCE BECOMES VERY HOT IN THE AREA IN CONTACT WITH THE SAUCEPANS. TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE HOB.

THE APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR USE BY ADULTS. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO GO NEAR IT OR PLAY WITH IT.

IMPORTANT: SUPERVISE CHILDREN CAREFULLY AS THEY CANNOT READILY SEE THE RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE HOB. AFTER USE THE COOKING ZONES REMAIN HOT FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE COOKING ZONES.

IF CRACKS OR FISSURES FORM, OR IF THE GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE BREAKS, TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY AND CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

General instructions

IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS REGARDING ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY, THE ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION COOKING HOB COMES UNDER GROUP 2 AND CLASS B (EN 55011).

DO NOT LEAVE THE INDUCTION HOB UNATTENDED WHEN SWITCHED ON.

BE AWARE OF HOW RAPIDLY THE COOKING ZONES HEAT UP. DO NOT PLACE EMPTY SAUCEPANS ON THE HEAT. DANGER OF OVERHEATING.

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.

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

Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Our environmental responsibility

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, 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 differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in 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 responsibility

Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing 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 household 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 supply network, removing it along with the plug.
