2.3 Precautions against damage
– Damaged cooking pans or cooking pans with rough bases
(cast iron without enamelling) can cause damage to the glass.
– Sand or other abrasive materials may cause damage to the
glass.
– Do not allow items (even small ones) to fall on the glass.
– Avoid the impact of cooking pans against the edge of the
glass.
– Ensure the device ventilation is installed in accordance with
the instructions of the manufacturer.
– Do not place or leave empty cooking pans on the hob.
– Avoid contact of sugar, synthetic substances or aluminium
foil with the hot zones. These substances can crack or affect
the vitro ceramic surface while it cools down: switch off the
appliance and remove them immediately from the hot zones
(beware: risk of burns)
– Risk of burns! Do not place items on the hob.
– Never place a hot pan on the control zone.
– If there is a drawer under the built-in device, ensure there is
adequate distance (2 cm) between the contents of the drawer
and the bottom of the device to provide good ventilation.
– Do not put flammable objects (for example, sprays) in the
drawer under the hob. If the drawer contains a cutlery holder,
this must be made from heat-resistant material.
2.4 Precautions to be taken in the event of a
fault with the device
– Upon discovering a fault, turn off the device and turn off the
electrical supply.
– Immediately switch off the electrical power to the device if a
crack or split is discovered in the vitro-ceramic glass, then
notify the after-sales service.
– Repairs must only be carried out by specialised personnel.
Never open the device yourself.
WARNING: If the glass cooking surface is broken,
turn off the device to prevent possible electric
shock.
2.5 Other precautions
– Ensure the cooking pan remains in the middle of the cooking
zone at all times. The bottom of the cooking pan must cover
as much of the cooking zone as possible.
– A magnetic field can affect electronic equipment. People with
a pacemaker must first consult the distributor or a doctor.
– Do not use synthetic or aluminium cooking pans: these can
melt on the cooking zones while they are still hot.
– Never use water to put out a fire. Turn off the cooking zone.
Gently cover flames with a cover, fire blanket, or something
similar.
The use of unsuitable pots and pans, or the use
of removable pan warming accessories that
are unsuitable for use with induction hobs, is
not covered by the guarantee conditions. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any
damage caused to the hob and its surroundings that
result from this.
