• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may
accidentally be switched on or still be hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the
appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5°C.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a "new
smell". Don't worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated,
the smell will soon disappear.
WARNING : in case of hotplate glass breakage:
•
- shut immediately off any electrical heating element and
isolate the appliance from the power supply;
- do not touch the appliance surface;
- do not use the appliance.
• If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted, without an
intermediate bottom, this should not be used to store highly
flammable objects/ materials. Ensure that there is adequate
clearance of a few centimetres between the bottom of the hob
and the contents of any drawers.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
on the surface of the hob, they may become hot.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking
process will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching
off the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally
switching on the appliance. After use, switch off the hob element
using the controls and don't rely only on the pan detector.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. For
example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause it to
break.
WARNING : if the surface is cracked, switch off the
•
appliance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating
time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you
are using a zone on a high setting.
• When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches
and similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
• This appliance should only be connected by a registered installer.
