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.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit
with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity
mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the
hot parts of the hob.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have
been switched off.
An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects,
or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium
foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the
hob.
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid
accidental burns.
• 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.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used
on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be
designed to comply with relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.
