SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
●
Before using the ceramic plate for the first time read the Operating Manual carefully as
thus you can ensure safe operation and avoid damage to the plate.
●
If the ceramic plate is operated near a radio, TV set or other emitting device, please
check whether the touch panel works correctly.
●
The ceramic plate should be installed by a qualified electrician.
●
Do not install the plate near refrigerating devices.
●
The furniture the plate is fitted in should be resistant to temperatures up to 100
º
C. The
requirement applies to the veneers, edges, plastic surfaces, glues and varnishes.
●
The plate can be used only after it has been fitted into furniture, as only thus you will be
protected from accidental contact with live components.
●
Electric appliances can be repaired only by qualified specialists. Unprofessional repairs
may compromise the safety of the appliance.
●
The appliance is disconnected from the mains only when the mains plug is pulled out
from the socket or when the fuse has been switched off.
●
Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control
panel.
●
When switched on the hotplates quickly become hot. To avoid unnecessary power con-
sumption, switch them on only after putting a cooking pot.
●
Residual temperature indicator built-in into the electronic system tells you whether the
hotplate is still switched on and whether it is still hot.
●
Should there be a power failure, all the settings and indications will be cancelled. Please
be careful when the power supply is restored as hotplates which have been hot before
power failure will no longer be controlled by the indicator.
●
If there is a mains socket located near the hotplate, please make sure that the supply
cord does not touch the hot places.
●
Do not leave the plate unattended when cooking on fats and oils as they create fire
hazard.
●
Do not use plastic pots or containers made from aluminium foil as they melt in high
temperatures and may damage the ceramic plate.
●
Sugar, citric acid, salt etc., both in liquid and solid state, as well as plastic should not get
into contact with a hot hotplate.
●
If through carelessness, sugar or plastic gets on a hot hotplate, you may not switch off
the plate but scrape away sugar or plastic using a sharp scrapper. Protect hands from
burns.
●
Use only flat-bottom pots and saucepans on your ceramic plate, without sharp edges or
burrs as otherwise the plate may get permanently damaged.
