Safety
Precautions before using
• Unpack all the materials.
• The installation and connecting of the applian-
ce have to be done by approved specialists.
The manufacturer can not be responsible for
damage caused by building-in or connecting
errors.
• To be used, the appliance must be well-equi-
pped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
• This domestic appliance is exclusively for the
cooking of food, to the exclusion of any other
domestic, commercial or industrial use.
• Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the
ceramic glass.
• Do not change or alter the appliance.
• The cooking plate can not be used as freestan-
ding or as working surface.
• The appliance must be grounded and connec-
ted conforming to local standards.
• Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
• The appliance can not be used above a dis-
hwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may da-
mage the electronic appliances.
Using the appliance
• Switch the heating zones off after using.
• Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or
oils: that may quickly ignite.
• Be careful not to burn yourself while or after
using the appliance.
• Children must not manipulate the appliance.
• Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving
appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
• Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy
disks, calculators) should not be placed near
to the engaged appliance.
• Do not place any metallic object except hea-
ting containers. In case of untimely engaging
or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or
even burn.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a
protection sheet. This is supposed to beco-
me very hot and catch fire.
Cleaning
• Switch the appliance off before cleaning.
• Let it cool completely.
• Do not ever use any steam-driven or pres-
sure appliance.
• Do not use any object that may scratch the
ceramic glass.
Precautions not to damage the appliance
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans
(not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may da-
mage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on
the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appli-
ance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the
vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium
sheets must not contact with the heating
zones. These may cause breaks or other al-
terations of the vitroceramic glass by coo-
ling : switch on the appliance and take them
immediately out of the hot heating zone (be
careful : do not burn yourself).
• Never place any hot container over the con-
trol panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the embedded
appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of
the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
• Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays)
into the drawer situated under the vitrocera-
mic hob. The eventuals cutlery drawers must
be resistant to heat.
