IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This manual contains important information regarding safety, the use and maintenance of your new hob. Read the manual carefully and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultation.

Precautions and Advice

1. This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and

electromagnetic compatibility legislation. However, individuals fitted with a heart pacemaker should maintain a safe distance from the appliance. This is because it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of potentially harmful interference.

2. Disposal of packaging materials: The various parts of the packing must therefore be disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal.

3. This induction hob is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance. No other type of use is permitted. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use.

4. The appliance is not intended for use by people (children included) with physical, sensory or mental impairment or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety.

5. The cooking zones become extremely hot during use: be careful and keep children away from the appliance to avoid the risk of scalding or burns.

6. If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and call the After-sales Service immediately.

7. Any repairs or work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician.

8. This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged by high temperatures from external heat sources (e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the thermoprotector activates, automatically switching off the hob. When the temperature returns to within normal levels the hob is able to be switched on again.

9. Make sure the cooking zones and the bottoms of pots are dry before use.

10. Do not place metal objects such as kitchen utensils (knives, forks, spoons, …), lids or other similar items on the cooking zones as they can become very hot.

11. Be extremely vigilant when cooking food with boiling oil or fat since these can catch fire. In the event of oil

catching fire, never attempt to put it out with water: switch the hob off and cover the pot immediately with a lid; leave the pot on the cooking zone to cool down. Dispose of the oil in compliance with current regulations.

12. At the end of cooking, turn the knobs to “0”.

Before use

Important: The induction cooking zones

will not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (See figure

opposite). Before switching the hob on, position the pot on the desired cooking zone.

Existing pots and pans:

OK NO

Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected.

1. Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they

may scratch the hob’s glass ceramic surface. Check dishes.

2. Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially

enamelled or aluminium ones. This could result in damage to both the glass ceramic surface and the bottom of the pots.
