Important Safety Warnings
20. The appliance must be installed and put into operation by an authorised technician under the conditions provided by
the manufacturer in this manual. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage that might occur due
to faulty installation.
21. Damage can occur to bench tops if pots and pans are allowed to overlap the bench top. This can result in heat
being transferred to the bench top. Ensure that correct sized pots & pans are used. Pans should be lifted on and off
the cooktop surface and not dragged. Cooking zones should not be switched on without cookware placed on it. Do
not place empty cookware onto the cooking zones when in use.
22. If any cracking is noticed on the cooktop, turn the appliance off immediately and call your Authorised Service Centre.
23. Do not leave the cooktop while cooking with solid or liquid oils. There may be flaming up in conditions of extreme
heating. Never pour water onto the flames occurring from oil. Immediately turn the cooktop off and cover the pan
with a lid or fire blanket in order to smother the flame.
24. Users with pacemakers should keep their upper body at least 30cm away from any operational inductive cooking
zone. If in doubt, please consult your doctor before use.
25. Do not place metal objects such as spoons or pan lids onto the cooktop as they may become hot or cause damage
to the surface.

fault.
