IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Unpack all the materials.
 The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved specialists.
The manufacturer can not be responsible for damage caused by building-in or connecting
the appliance incorrectly.
 To be used, the appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
 Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
 Do not change or alter the appliance.
 The cooking plate can not be used as freestanding or as working surface.
 The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
 Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
 The appliance can not be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may damage
the electronic appliances.
 Switch the heating zones off after use.
 Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite.
 Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
 Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
 Objects such as credit cards, floppy disks, calculators should not be placed near to the
appliance.
 Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This could catch fire.
 Rough pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
 Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
 Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic surface.
 Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
 Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance complies with to the manufacturer’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 cooling: 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.
 If a drawer is situated under the built in appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to ensure a correct ventilation.
 Never put any inflammable object (e.g. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
 If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supply.
 If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact the
after sales service.
 Repairs must be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance yourself.
 Make sure that the saucepan always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of the pan
must cover as much as possible of the cooking zone.
 For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could interfere with its operating. We
recommend getting information from the retailer or from the doctor.
 Do not use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on hot cooking
zones.
