WARNING -
This appliance is only intended for
residential cooking. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use or for uses
other than those for which this
appliance is intended.
When using your appliance follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Installation
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician in accordance
with national and local safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for damage
caused by incorrect installation or
connection.
Do not connect the appliance to
the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
meet the safety requirements of this
appliance.
Before servicing, disconnect the
appliance from the main power
supply.
To guarantee the electrical safety
of this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of the
house checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer will not be
held responsible for damages caused
by the lack, or inadequacy, of an
effective grounding system.
Only for frame/facet cooktops:
A small gap will be visible between
cooktop and countertop for the first
days after installation. The gap will
decrease as the cooktop is used. The
electrical safety of your appliance is
warrantied despite the small gap.
Use
Do not use the appliance until it
has been properly installed in the
countertop.
This appliance is equipped with an
overheating protection feature. See
"Overheating protection" for more
information.
Never use the appliance to heat a
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
When the cooktop is turned on for
an extended period of time, the
control panel may get warm. This is not
a malfunction.
