Safety
The hob has been designed with protection of
the environment in mind.
Be environmentally aware.
Use the adequate
power for each cooking operation and select the
receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are
going to prepare. The heat transmission is best
when the base of the receptacle and the diameter
of the cooking zone are the same size.
When you have fi nished cooking, if you like you
can leave the receptacle where it is to make use
of the residual heat accumulated. This will save
energy.
Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the
heat lost through steam.
Electrical and electronic appliance waste
management.
Do not dispose of appliances by mixing them with
general domestic waste.
Take your hob to a special collection centre.
The recycling of domestic appliances avoids
negative consequences to our health, the
environment and enables us to save energy and
resources.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the establishment from where you
purchased your hob.
• The power circuit supplying the hob must have
an all-pole circuit breaker with at least 3mm
space between contacts.
