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.
!
We advise against the installation of an induction hob
above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a
washing machine (vibration s). In fact, there would be
insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic
components.
• 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
10
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.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other
active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with
legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed
not to create interference on any other electrical
apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in
question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic
fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and
a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with
relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product
conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer
or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible
incompatibility.
• 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.
