Precautions and tips
! This appliance has been designed and manufactured
in compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
This appliance conforms to the following
European Economic Community directives:
- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;

General safety
! Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never
obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided
with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic
components used in the appliance.
! We advise against the installation of an induction hob above
an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing
machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient
space for the ventilation of electronic components.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use the
hob as a worktop or chopping board.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances
do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from
the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
• The appliance should not be operated by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone
who is not familiar with the product. These individuals
should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who
assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary
instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot..

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not
be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before
carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example,
products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens),
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or
sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the
surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive products to clean the
steel frame.
! Clean the appliance every time it has been used.
This will prevent the build-up of residue, which could
become hard to remove if left to accumulate.
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has been
left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products
containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and
dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly
and thoroughly.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper
(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills
as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance
to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You
can achieve excellent results by using a rustproof steel
wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean
water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become
encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
