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.
• 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.
• Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking
zones for long if they are present.
• 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 appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating
to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) states that household appliances should
not be disposed of using the normal solid urban
waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be
collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out
dustbin is marked on all products to remind the
owner of their obligations regarding separated
waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct
disposal of exhausted household appliances,
owners may contact the public service provided or
their local dealer.
