PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Attention:
Before any maintenance on the appliance
disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
• The distance between the lower face of the glass
ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating
panel must be at least 40 mm.
• If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack,
do not use it, but call the After-sales Service
immediately.
• This cooktop is designed solely for use as a
domestic appliance for cooking food. No other
type of use is permitted. The manufacturer
declines all liability for improper use or incorrect
use of the controls.
• Avoid exposing the cooktop to atmospheric
agents.
• Any repairs or maintenance work on the
appliance must be carried out exclusively by a
qualified technician.
• Never touch the cooktop with any wet part of
the body and do not operate it with bare feet.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge unless they have been
given initial supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Prevent children from coming into contact with:
- the cooktop in general in order to avoid injury.
- While it is on and after it has just been switched
off, the cooktop reaches very high
temperatures;
- packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene
parts, metal parts, etc.);
- an old cooktop to be scrapped.
• Make sure that the electrical wires of other
electrical appliances near the cooktop do not
come into contact with hot parts.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended if you are
using a lot of fat or oil: risk of oil or fat
overheating and catching fire!
• Do not use the cooktop surface as a work surface.
• Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones
without pots.
• Do not place plastic, aluminium foil, cloths, paper
etc. on the hotplates/cooking zones while they
are still hot.
• The cooktop features hotplates/cooking zones of
different sizes. Use pots and pans whose bottom
diameter is equal to, or slightly larger than, that of
the hotplates/cooking zones.
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks,
spoons or lids on the surfaces of the hob as they
can become hot.
•
The glass ceramic induction hob has good
mechanical resistance and is designed to
withstand minor accidents and incorrect usage;
however, if an object falls on it and damages the
surface, do not use the hob. Disconnect it from
the electrical power supply and call the nearest
After Sales Service.
• When the hob is in use, the surfaces of the cooking
zones may heat up due to transfer of heat from
foods being cooked to the pot and subsequently to
the glass.
• To obtain the best cooking results, it is advisable
to use flat-bottomed metal pots and pans whose
bottom diameter corresponds to that of the
induction cooking zones, so that the magnetic
sensor detects them. To check that pots and
pans are made of ferrous metal, use a magnet.
The diameter of the pots and pans must
correspond to the diameter of the induction
cooking zone.
• When using pots and pans with a non-stick surface
(such as Teflon) without any oil or grease, pre-heat
by setting to number
7 or 8 .
Never heat canned foods without first
having opened the can: they can explode!
This warning also applies to all other types
of cooktops.
• Do not use aluminium foil for cooking and do not
place food wrapped in aluminium foil on the glass
ceramic induction hob. Never place metal
utensils on the hob.
Note : the cooking zones will not go on if the pots
and pans are not of the correct dimensions or
cannot be magnetically detected. If a pot or pan is
removed from the hotplate, it will go off.
• The hotplate will remain switched off until
another pot or pan is placed on it.
TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS:
•
Make sure you place the pot or pan in the centre
of the cooking zone outlined on the glass ceramic
induction hob.
