SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Be fo re 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 veneer, 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.
• Elec tric 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.
• Unless properly supervised by caretakers or upon thorough studies of the operating manual,
the appliance must not be operated by persons (including children) of limited physical or
psychical abilities, these of limited technical expertise, or unfamiliar with the equipment.
• People with life function support implants (such as a heart pacemaker, an insulin
pump, or a hearing aid) must make sure that the operation of these devices is not
disturbed by the induction plate (induction plate frequency range is 20 to 50 kHz).
• When switched on the hotplates quickly become hot. To avoid unnecessary power con­
sump tion, switch them on only after putting a cooking pot on them.
• A residual temperature indicator built­in into the electronic system tells you whether the
hotplate is still switched on and whether it is still hot .
• All the settings made before power switch­on are cancelled if power supply is cut. Proceed
cautiously once the power is restored. ‘H’ residual heat indicator will glow as long as the
heating zones are hot. Additionally, lock key symbol is on, as at initial start­up.
• If the mains socket is located near a 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 tem -
peratures and may damage the ceramic plate.
• Su gar, 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 the plate
off but scrape away sugar or plastic using a sharp scrapper. Protect hands from burns.
• Use only flat­bottom pots and saucepans on your ceramic plate, without sharp edges or
burrs as otherwise the plate may get permanently damaged.
