Risk of fire!

Do not leave inflammable material on the cooktop.

Make sure that the electrical cables of other appliances installed nearby cannot come into contact with the cooktop.

Keep children away from the appliance, especially when it is being used.

During and immediately after use some parts of the cooktop reach very high temperatures. Do not touch them.

EC Declaration of conformity

This cooktop is intended to come into contact with food products and conforms with European Directive 89/109/EEC.

This cooktop has been designed for use only as a cooking appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) should be considered incorrect and therefore dangerous.

This cooktop has been designed, constructed and put on to the market in conformity with:

- Safety requirements of the “Low Voltage”

Directive 73/23/EEC and amendments;

- Protection requirements of the “EMC” Directive 89/336/EEC and amendments;

- Requirements of Directive 93/68/EEC.

- Electrical insulation Class I.

- Protection against overheating of adjacent surfaces Type Y.

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid vertical heat transmission from the heating elements under the cooktop to the pans on it.

The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away from the cooking zone.

The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles drawn on the glass ceramic surface.

Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.

ATTENTION During and after use of the electric hotplates

the cooktop becomes hot. Keep children away.
