notice a "new smell". This is normal. If the kitchen is
well ventilated the smell will soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting
the heating time will be incredibly short. Do not
leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone on
a high setting.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is
protected against overheating but the pan will get
very hot indeed and could be damaged.
• The guarantee does not cover any damage caused
by an unsuitable pan or a pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space or
worktop.
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance
between the bottom of the hob and the contents of
the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer
under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such
as a mixer, cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for
some time afterwards. Keep young children away
from the hob during and after cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated.
Do not stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch
fire, never try to extinguish the fire with water. Put a
lid on the pan immediately and switch the cooking
zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high
flames could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is
switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not
unbreakable. A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on
it, for example, could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears.
Switch the appliance off immediately, unplug
it to avoid electric shocks, and call the service
department.
• Never put any objects on the cooking zone. These
can heat up extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean the hob.
