forks, spoons or lids on the device
because they could become hot. ●
Before connecting the device to the
electrical network: check the data plate
(on the bottom of the device) to ensure
that the voltage and power correspond to
the mains supply and that the power
socket is suitable. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Important: ● After use, turn off the hob
at the switch and do not rely on the pan
detector. ● Prevent liqui ds from boiling
over, so turn the heat down when boiling
or heating liquids. ● Do not leave the
heating elements turned on with empty
pots and pans or with no pans. ● Switch
off the relevant hot plate when you have
finished cooking. ● Never use aluminium
foil for cooking and never place products
packaged in aluminium on the hob. The
aluminium would melt and irreparably
damage your device. ● Never heat a tin
or can containing foods without opening it
first: it might explode! ● This warning
also applies to al l other types of hobs. ●
High power levels such as the Booster
function should not be used to heat
certain liquids, such as oil for frying.
Excessive heat may be dangerous. In
these cases, we recommend the use of a
lower power level. ● Containers must be
placed directly on the hob and in the
centre. Under no circumstances may any
other objects be placed between the pan
and the hob. ● If the temperature
becomes high, the device automatically
decreases the power level of the cooking
zones. ● Before doing any cleaning or
maintenance work, disconnect the device
from the mains power supply by
removing the plug or turning off the
mains switch. Wear protective gloves for
all installation and maintenance
operations. The device can be used by
children over the age of eight and by
people with impaired physical, sensory or
mental abilities or lacking in experience
or the necessary knowledge provided
that they are supervised or after they
have received instruction about how to
safely use the device and understand the
inherent dangers. Children must be
supervised to ensure they do not play
with the device. Cleaning and
maintenance must never be performed
by children unless they are properly
supervised. The room must be properly
ventilated when the device is used at the
same time as other gas-powered
devices, or powered by other fuel. The
device must be regularly cleaned both
internally and externally (AT LEAST
ONCE A MONTH), in strict accordance
with the maintenance instructions. Failure
to follow the rules for device cleaning and
filter replacement and cleaning may
result in a fire hazard. Food mus t never
be cooked flambè. Using a naked flame
may damage the filters and cause a fire
hazard; it must, therefore, be avoided
under all circumstances. Extra care must
be taken when frying to prevent the oil
from overheating and catching fire. ●
PLEASE NOTE: The accessible parts of
the device may become hot when the
hob is switched on. ● Please note! Do
not connect the device to the electric
power supply until installation has been
fully completed. The regulations laid
down by local authorities must be strictly
followed with regard to the technical and
safety measures to adopt for fume
extraction. ● The extracted air must not
be conveyed through the same ducts
used to extract the fumes generated by
gas combustion or other types of
combustion devices. Never use the
device without the grille properly
installed! Only use the fastening screws
supplied with the device for installation,
or if not supplied, purchase the correct
type of screws. Use screws of the right
