Precautions not to damage the appliance

Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots) may damage
ceramic glass.

Sand or other abrasive materials may damage 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 appliance is in accordance with
the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.

Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not come into contact with the
heating zones. These may break or damage the vitroceramic glass when cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful not to
burn yourself).

Never place any hot container over the control panel.

If a drawer is situated under the installed appliance, make sure the space between the
contents of the drawer and the base of the appliance is large: at least (2 cm). This is
essential to guarantee correct ventilation.

Never put flammable objects (ex. sprays) into the drawer under the vitroceramic hob.
Cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure

If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supply.

If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact
after sales service.

WARNING : If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard
.
Other protections

Ensure that the pot or pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of the pan
must cover as much of the cooking zone as possible.

recommend discussing this with the retailer or a doctor.

Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on cooking
zones that are still hot.
DO NOT USE INTERMEDIATE REMOVABLE ACCESSORIES TO HEAT
PANS WHICH ARE NOT ADAPTED TO INDUCTION.
