• Before connecting the device to the elec-
trical network: check the data plate (on the
bottom of the device) to ensure that the
voltage and power correspond to the net-
work values and that the connection
socket is suitable. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
• After use, turn off the cooktop at the
switch and do not rely on the pan detector.
• Prevent liquids from boiling over, so turn
the heat down when boiling or heating li-
quids.
• Do not leave the heating elements turned
on with empty pots and pans or with no
pans.
• Switch off the relevant hot plate when you
have finished cooking.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking and
never place products packaged in alu-
minium on the cooktop. The aluminium
would melt and irreparably damage your
device.
• Never heat a tin or can containing foods
without opening it first: it might explode!
• This warning also applies to all other types
of cooktops.
• High power levels such as the Booster
function should not be used to heat cer-
tain liquids, such as oil for frying. Excessive
heat may be dangerous. In these cases, we
recommend the use of a lower power
level.
• Containers must be placed directly on the
cooktop and in the center. Under no cir-
cumstances may any other objects be
placed between the pan and the cooktop.
• If the temperature becomes high, the
device automatically decreases the power
level of the cooking zones.
• Before doing any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the device from the
mains power supply by removing the plug
or turning off the mains switch.
• Wear protective gloves for all installation
and maintenance operations.
• The device can be used by children over
the age of eight and by people with im-
paired physical, sensory or mental abilities
or lacking in experience or the necessary
knowledge provided that they are super-
vised or after they have received instruc-
tion about how to safely use the device
and understand the inherent dangers.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the device.
• Cleaning and maintenance must never be
performed by children unless they are
properly supervised.
• The room must be properly ventilated
when the device is used at the same time
as other gas-powered devices, or powered
by other fuel.
• The device must be regularly cleaned both
internally and externally (AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH), in strict accordance with the
maintenance instructions.
• Failure to follow the rules for device clean-
ing and filter replacement and cleaning
may result in a fire hazard.
• Food must never be cooked flambè. Using
a naked flame may damage the filters and
cause a fire hazard; it must, therefore, be
avoided under all circumstances. Extra
care must be taken when frying to prevent
the oil from overheating and catching fire.
• The regulations laid down by local author-
ities must be strictly followed with regard
to the technical and safety measures to
adopt for fume extraction.
• The extracted air must not be conveyed
through the same ducts used to extract
the fumes generated by gas combustion
or other types of combustion devices.
Never use the device without the grille
properly installed!
• Only use the fastening screws supplied
with the device for installation, or if not
supplied, purchase the correct type of
screws. Use screws of the right length, as
indicated in the installation guide.
