SAFETY AND CARE DIRECTIONS
Correct use.
•
To avoid damages to persons and fittings read
carefully this directive before use the hob for the
first time.
•
Use the hob after embedding it correctly; it is
important to avoid the contact with electric wire
components.
•
The hob is meant to be used only in domestic
background not in the industrial field.
•
Use the appliance only to prepare dishes; other
uses at consumer risk, they can be dangerous.
The manufacturer do not answer to damages
caused by an incorrect use of the appliance.
If there are children at home.
•
Use controls lock so as the children can not switch
on the hob or modify its setting.
•
The appliance must be used only by adults, who
are able to understand the indications on this
directive. Often children can not perceive the
damages of a functioning hob. Keep an eye on the
children carefully.
•
Grown-up children can use the appliance only if
they have been educated to use it carefully and
in absolute security and if they know the possible
damages caused by an incorrect usage.
•
Do not permit to children to play with the
appliance.
•
The hob warms and stays warm for some time
also after the switching off. For this reason
children must be taken far from the appliance to
avoid every scorch risk.
•
Take attractive objects far from children and the
hob, because they could lead them to approach
the appliance with consequent scorch risks.
•
Make sure that children could not have the
possibility to upset hot pots or pans. Danger of
explosion and fire, in addition with scorch. In the
market there is a special pan support which could
be useful to reduce accident risks.
•
Children should be taken far from the packaging,
because some of its components (in plastic or
polystyrene) are dangerous (choking danger).
Provide immediately for the elimination of the
packaging.
Advice to better use the hob.
•
Take care not to throw objects or cutlery on the
ceramic surface. Also light objects (i.e. a salt-
cellar) might crack or damage the ceramic plate.
•
Do not use pots or pans with rough bottom
(i.e. cast iron), because they could scratch the
surface of the hob. Also grains of sand could
cause scratches.
•
Make sure that sugar, liquefied or solid, plastic or
silver paper do not be leant on the hot cooking
areas. These materials melt, stick on the surface
and when they cool they can crack, break or
damage permanently the ceramic surface. If
these substances inadvertently reach the hot
cooking areas, switch off the hob and eliminate
them with a spatula as soon as possible, when
the appliance is already hot.
Attention: since
the cooking areas are very hot there is the
possibility to scald yourself.
•
To avoid a risk of dishes remains burning, get rid
of them immediately in case they overflowed in
the surface during the cooking; make sure that
the pot bottom is not grease, but clean and dry
before leaning it on the hob.
•
Never use vapour devices. The vapour
pressure could damage permanently surfaces
and components of devices, for which the
manufacturer will not be responsible.
•
Never lean too hot pots or pans on the control
panel. The electronics situated under the panel
could be damaged.
•
If under the embedded appliance there is a
drawer, take care of that the distance between
the drawer, and so its content, and the lower
side of the appliance is enough. On the
contrary the aerification of the hob is not
warranted.
To avoid burns.
•
When functioning the appliance is too hot and
maintains the temperature for some minutes
after the switching off. Only when the afterheat
lights go off there is no more danger of burns.
Pay attention to children at home, they must not
approach the still hot hob.
•
Always use the proper knobs or pot holders to
move or to put pots and pans on the hob. The
knobs and pot holders material must not be wet
or damp. The dampness increases the heat
conductivity and so the risks of burns.
•
Do not heat closed vessels, i.e. tin vessels, on
the cooking areas. The resulting overpressure
could cause the explosion of this material. Burn
and hurt danger.
•
Do not use the appliance as a rest surface and
in particular do not lean on metallic objects. If the
hob is unintentionally switch on or if the cooking
