PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS

Attention:

Before any maintenance on the appliance disconnect it from the
electrical power supply.

Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or

•

lids on the surfaces of the hob as they can become hot.
The induction glass ceramic hob is mechanically resistant and

•

can withstand minor accidents, or improper use; however, if
an object falls on it and damages the surface, do not use the
hob. Disconnect it from the electrical power supply and call
the nearest After Sales Service.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

•

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

Do not use the hob as a work surface.

•

When the hob is in use, the surfaces of the cooking zones may

•

heat up due to transfer of heat from foods being cooked to
the pot and subsequently to the glass.

To obtain the best cooking results, it is advisable to use flat-

•

bottomed metal pots and pans whose bottom diameter
corresponds to that of the induction cooking zones, so that
the magnetic sensor detects them. To test if pots and pans are
made of ferrous metal, please use a magnet. The diameter of
the pots and pans must correspond to the diameter of the
induction cooking zone.

When using pots and pans with a non-stick surface (such as

•

Teflon) without any oil or grease, pre-heat by setting to
number 7 or 8.

Do not ever heat canned foods without first having
opened the can: they can explode! This warning also
applies to all other types of cooking surfaces.

Do not use aluminium foil for cooking and do not place food

•

wrapped in aluminium foil on the induction glass ceramic hob.
Do not place metal utensils on the hob.

: the cooking zones will not go on if the pots and pans are

Note

not of the correct dimensions or cannot be magnetically
detected. If a pot or pan is removed from the cooking zone, it
will go off and a U will be displayed.

The cooking zone will remain off until another pot or pan is

•

placed on it.
After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not

•

rely on the pan detector.

TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS:

Make sure to place the pot or pan in the centre of the cooking

•

zone outlined on the induction glass ceramic hob.
