Using your hob safety
The induction principle
After the appliance is switched on and a power level is
selected, electronic circuits produce induced currents in the
base of the pan which instantly transmits the heat produced
to the foodstuffs. Cooking takes place with
practically no
energy loss
with a very high energy output.
To the attention of people having a pacemaker or
other active implants:
The functioning of the hob complies with the currently applicable norms concerning electromagnetic
disturbance. Your induction cooking hob therefore fully meets the legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It has been designed not to cause disturbance to other electric appliances insofar as they also
meet the requirements of the same regulations. Your induction hob emits magnetic fields in its immediate
surroundings.
To avoid the possibility of interference between your cooking hob and a heart pacemaker, the latter must
be designed to comply with the regulations that apply to it.
In this respect, we can therefore only guarantee the compliance of our own appliance. With regardto the
compliance of a heart pacemaker or any eventual incompatibility, we recommend that you consult its
manufacturer or your doctor.
I
f a crack appears in the surface of the glass, disconnect the appliance immediately
from the mains supply to avoid the risk of electric shock. To do this, remove the fuses
