The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved specialists.
The manufacturer cannot be responsible for damage caused by building-in or connecting
errors.
To be used, the appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any
other domestic, commercial or industrial use.
Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
Do not change or alter the appliance.
The cooking plate cannot be used as freestanding or as working surface.
The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
The appliance cannot be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may
damage the electronic appliances.
Using the appliance
Switch the heating zones off after using.
Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite.
Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to
the engaged appliance.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob
surface since they can get hot.
In general do not place any metallic object except heating containers on the glass
surface. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even
burn.
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to become
very hot and catch fire.

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
