DESCRIPTION OF THE HOT PLATES
The hob instructions must state that the appliance is not destined for use with
an external timer or a separate remote control system.
► the appliance is built to perform the following function: cooking and heating food. Every
other use must be considered improper.
► Never use this appliance to heat the environment.
► Do not attempt to change the technical characteristics of the product because it can be
dangerous.
►
If you should not to use this appliance any more (or replace an old model), before disposing
of it, make it inoperative in conformity with current law on the protection of health and the
prevention of environmental pollution by making its dangerous parts harmless, especially
for children who might play on an abandoned appliance.
► Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
► Do not use the appliance barefoot.
► The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or
unreasonable use.
► During, and immediately after operation, some parts of the cook top are very hot: avoid
touching them.
► If the ceramic glass hob is not cleaned immediately, there is a risk of residues becoming so
encrusted that they will be impossible to remove after the hob has cooled.
►
Before cooking for the first time, it is necessary to clean the hob as follows: switch on the
front heating elements to the maximum for at least 30 minutes, heating pans full of water.
After 30 minutes, switch off the front heating elements and switch on the rear heating
elements plus the central heating element, where applicable, to the maximum. This is
necessary to eliminate that “new smell” and to allow any humidity which may have formed
during the production process to evaporate. This is necessary for the correct operation of
the electronic circuits and the control panel. If the controls do not work properly when the
30 minutes are up, there is still some humidity inside: leave the heating elements on until
all the humidity has completely evaporated, then switch off the hob.
WARNING FOR USE:
IMPORTANT!
