Important Safety Warnings
18. All cabinetry and materials used in the installation must be able to withstand a minimum temperature of
100°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, whilst in use. Certain types of vinyl
or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage or discolouration at temperatures
below the guidelines given above. Any damage caused by the appliance being installed without
adhering to the temperature limits set out above will be the liability of the owner. To avoid any hazards,
limit access to the under-bench section of the cooktop.
19. The appliance must be installed and put into operation by an authorised technician under the
conditions provided by the manufacturer in this manual. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for any damage that might occur due to faulty installation.
20. Damage can occur to bench tops if pots and pans are allowed to overlap the bench top. This can result
in heat being transferred to the bench top. Ensure that correct sized pots & pans are used. Cast iron
and cast aluminium cookware with damaged bases may scratch the cooktop surface if they are
dragged across it. Pans should be lifted on and off the cooktop surface and not dragged. Cooking
zones should not be switched on without cookware placed on it. Also the cookware should not be
empty for any length of time.
21. WARNING: If any cracking is noticed on the vitro-ceramic cooktop, turn the appliance off immediately
to avoid the possible of electric shock and call your Authorised Service Centre.
22. Do not leave the cooktop while cooking with solid or liquid oils. There may be flaming up in conditions
of extreme heating.
23. Never pour water onto the flames occurring from oil. Immediately turn the cooktop off and cover the
pan with a lid or fire blanket in order to smother the flame.
24. The ceramic cooker hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. We have
professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
25. The ceramic cooker hob shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.
26. The ceramic cooker hob shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured to enhance its
reliability.
27. The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
28. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
29. A steam cleaner is not to be used.
30. Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since
they can get hot.
31. CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be
supervised continuously.
32. WARNING: Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.
33. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
