mains switch when the appliance is not being used.

of some basic rules. In particular:
·

18 If you decide to stop using this appliance, it is recommended
that the supply cable is cut and that all parts of the appliance
are removed, particularly for the safety of children who might
use the appliance as a toy.
19 Use only stable, flat-based pans. They should be placed on
the hobs with the handles turned inwards so that they are
not accidentally knocked off.
20 Some parts of the appliance, in particular the electric plates,
remain hot for a long time after use. Be careful not to touch
them.
21 Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol...) near the
appliance when in use.
22 When using small household appliances near the cooker
hobs, make sure that the power supply cable does not touch
any hot parts.

appliance is not in use.
24 When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and
some parts of the oven door become extremely hot.
Make sure you don't touch them and keep children well
away.
25 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal
itself.
26 If the surface of the glass breaks, disconnect the appliance
immediately. For repairs call only an authorised after-sales
servicing centre and request the use of original spare parts
only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the
safety of the appliance.
27 The vitreous china hob is resistant to temperature
fluctuations and shockproof. Remember however that sharp
kitchen tools or cutters may break the surface of the hob. If
this happens, unplug the cooker immediately from the mains
and call your local servicing centre.
28 Remember that the cooking surface remains hot for at least
half an hour after you switch off the surface. Do not place
containers or other objects on the hot surface.
29 Do not turn on the cooking surfaces if there are sheets of
aluminium foil or plastic on the hob.
30 Preliminary instructions. The glass sealant utilised may
leave traces of grease on the glass. Remember to wipe
these away with a normal non abrasive detergent before
you turn on the appliance. During the first few hours of use
there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very
quickly.
