Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 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 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. 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 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 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.

Instructions for the user

4. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

Advantages of an induction hob

- Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable cookware is required) compared with traditional electric cooking.

- 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.

Instructions for the user

4.2 Saucepan recognition

If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted. 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 power level selected will then flash). 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.

Saucepan recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating the inductor.

4.3 Saucepans suitable for use in induction cooking

The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base.

Use only saucepans with bases suitable for induction hot plates.

Suitable containers Unsuitable containers

• Enamelled steel containers with thick bases.

• Cast iron containers with an enamelled base.

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

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

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 container, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the power symbol starts flashing on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.

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

4.4 Limiting the cooking duration

The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is

sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display.

However, the automatic switch-off function takes precedence over the limitation device; the cooking zone only turns off after the time set for automatic switch-off is past.
