General Use
z
Do not leave the heating elements turned on with empty pots and pans
or with no pans.
z
Never heat a tin or can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode!
z
The extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the
fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion devices. Never use
the device without the grille properly installed!
z
When the device is used together with other devices powered with non-electrical
energy, the negative pressure of the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10•5 bar).
z
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the
same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the room).
z
For Australia and New Zealand: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including
those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or
other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by
a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
z
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
z
Never use your appliance as a work or storage surface.
z
Wear proper apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.

Do not leave any magnetic item, e.g. cutlery, roast dish, etc. on your cooktop, including
the cooking zones and user interface.
z
Do not place or leave any magnetisable objects (eg credit cards, memory cards) or
electronic devices (eg computers, MP3 players) near the appliance, as they may be
affected by its electromagnetic field.

induction cooktop.
