documents, on the appropriate place on the cooktop (see
Technical Service).
First cleaning
^
Remove any protective foil and stickers.
^
Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp
cloth and dry it.
First use
For facetted cooktops (with bevelled glass edge):
In the first few days after installation, a small gap may be
visible between the cooktop and the countertop. It will
become smaller with use. Despite this small gap, the
electrical safety of your appliance is always ensured.
The metal parts have a protective coating. The first time the
appliance is used, an odour and perhaps some vapour may
be released. During the first hours of use there may also be
an odour from the induction coils. Each subsequent use
reduces the odour and it will ultimately dissipate entirely.
The smell and any vapours do not indicate a faulty
connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to
your health.
Please note that the heating-up time for induction cooktops
is very much shorter than for conventional cooktops.
