Important Safety Information - Whirlpool ACM 213/BA Instruction Manual

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This manual contains important information regarding safety, the use and maintenance of your new hob. Read
the manual and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultation.
PRECAUTIONS AND ADVICE
1. This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and electromagnetic compatibility legislation. However,
individuals fitted with a heart pacemaker should maintain a safe distance from the appliance. This is because
it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with
which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of
potentially harmful interference.
2. Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the various packing materials responsibly, in full compliance with
local authority regulations governing waste disposal.
3. This induction hob is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance. No other type of use is permitted. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use.
4. The appliance is not intended for use by people (children included) with physical, sensory or mental
impairment or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed
in its use by those responsible for their safety.
5. The cooking zones become extremely hot during use: keep children away from the appliance to avoid the risk
of scalding or burns.
6. The 4 lamp from the left (on both sides) will light on the control display to indicate "residual heat" in the
th
corresponding cooking zone: the temperature of the cooking zone is above 65 °C: do not touch the cooking
zone or place any object on it while the lamp remains lit.
7. If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and call
the After-sales Service immediately.
8. Any repairs or work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician.
9. This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged by high
temperatures from external heat sources (e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the electronic
circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the thermoprotector activates, automatically switching off the hob. The
display shows an error message (see. section "Troubleshooting Guide"). When the temperature returns to within
normal levels the hob is able to be switched on again.
10. Make sure the cooking zones and the bottoms of pots are dry before use.
11. Do not place metal objects such as kitchen utensils (knives, forks, spoons, ...), lids or other similar items on the
cooking zones as they can become very hot.
12. Be extremely vigilant when cooking food with boiling oil or fat since these can catch fire. In the event of oil
catching fire, never attempt to put it out with water: switch the hob off and cover the pot immediately with a
lid; leave the pot on the cooking zone to cool down. Dispose of the oil in compliance with current regulations.
13. When you finish cooking, press button
BEFORE USE
Important: The induction cooking zones will not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct
dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol "INDUCTION SYSTEM" (See figure opposite).
Before switching the hob on, position the pot on the desired cooking zone.
EXISTING POTS AND PANS
OK
1. Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may scratch the hob's glass ceramic surface. Check dishes.
2. Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially enamelled or aluminium ones. This could result in damage to
both the glass ceramic surface and the bottom of the pots.
3. Never place hot pots or pans on the hob's control panel. This could result in damage.
