General safety

!

 Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never 

obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided 

with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic 

components used in the appliance.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside 

the home and is not intended for commercial or in-

dustrial use.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in 

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the 

appliance exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet 

or damp hands and feet.

• 

The appliance must be used by adults only for 

the preparation of food, in accordance with the 
instructions  outlined  in  this  booklet. Any other 
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) 
constitutes improper use and is dangerous. 
The manufacturer may not be held liable for any 
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and 
unreasonable use of the appliance.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical 

shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a 

sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, 

disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains 

immediately and contact a Service Centre.

• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical 

appliances do not come into contact with the hot 

parts of the hob.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively 

hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been 

switched off. An indicator light provides a warning 

when residual heat is present (see Start-up and 

use).

                Symbol is shown for indicator light.
               

• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, 

for example plastic and aluminium objects, or 

products with a high sugar content. Be especially 

careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or 

packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot, 

they may cause serious damage to the hob.

• Always make sure that pan handles are turned 

towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid 

accidental burns.

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug 

from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.

• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work 

without having disconnected the appliance from the 

electricity mains.

• The appliance should not be operated by people 

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory 

or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or 

by anyone who is not familiar with the product. 

These individuals should, at the very least, be 

supervised by someone who assumes responsibility 

for their safety or receive preliminary instructions 

relating to the operation of the appliance.

• Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking 

zones for long if they are present.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan 

lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by 

means of an external timer or separate remote-

control system.

Disposal 

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local 

legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste 

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states 

that household appliances should not be disposed of 

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted 

appliances should be collected separately in order 

to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the ma-

terials inside the machine, while preventing potential 

damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The 

crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to 

remind the owner of their obligations regarding 

separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal 

of exhausted household appliances, owners may 

contact the public service provided or their local 

dealer.
