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
• 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.
• Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the
various packing materials responsibly, in full
compliance with local authority regulations
governing waste disposal.
• 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.
• Make sure the cooking zones and the bottoms of
pots are dry before use.
• 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.
• 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.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
• 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.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(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.
• 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.
• The letter “H” will appear on the control
panel display to indicate “residual heat” in
the corresponding cooking zone:
the temperature of the cooking zone is
above 60 °C: do not touch the cooking zone or
place any object on it while the letter “H” remains
lit.
• Insert a separator panel (not supplied) in the
compartment beneath the appliance.
• Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension
leads.
• Observance of safety directives requires that a
multi-pole switch with a minimum contact gap of
3 mm be used for the installation.
• Installation and maintenance must be carried out
by a qualified technician, in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety
regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically stated in the user
manual.
• Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.
