• In general, do not place any metallic object except heating
containers on the glass surface. In case of untimely engaging
or residual heat, it may heat and burn.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet.
This could become very hot and catch fire.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should
not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
Precautions not to damage the appliance
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast
iron pots,) may damage the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic
surface.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance complies with
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic
hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials, or aluminium sheets must not
contact with the cooking zones. These may cause breaks or
other alterations of the vitroceramic glass when cooling: switch
off the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot
cooking zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the built-in appliance, make sure
the space between the content of the drawer and the inferior
part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is essential
to guarantee a correct ventilation.
• Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer
situated under the vitroceramic hob. The cutlery drawers must
be resistant to heat.
