Precautions and advice

• Disposal of packaging materials: dispose
of the various packing materials
responsibly, in full compliance with local
authority regulations governing waste
disposal.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not
use the appliance and call the After-sales
Service immediately.
