pliance have to be done by approved spe-
cialists. The manufacturer can not be res-
ponsible for damage caused by building-in or
connecting errors.
• To be used, the appliance must be well-equip-
ped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
• This domestic appliance is exclusively for the
cooking of food, to the exclusion of any other
domestic, commercial or industrial use.
• Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the

Using the appliance
• Switch the heating zones off after using.
• Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or
oils: that may quickly ignite.
• Be careful not to burn yourself while or after

disks, calculators) should not be placed near
to the engaged appliance.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons
and lids should not be placed on the hob sur-
face since they can get hot.
• In general do not place any metallic object
except heating containers on the glass sur-
face. In case of untimely engaging or residual
heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or
a protection sheet. This is supposed to be-
come very hot and catch re.

Precautions not to damage the appliance
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans

pliance works according to the manufactu-
rer’s instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the
vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium
sheets must not contact with the heating
zones. These may cause breaks or other
alterations of the vitroceramic glass by coo-
ling: switch on the appliance and take them
immediately out of the hot heating zone (be
careful: do not burn yourself).
• Never place any hot container over the
control panel.
