Important!
The hob glass is very tough but not
shatterproof: it may be damaged by violent knocks with
hard or sharp objects.
In case of breakage, cracking or crazing, the glass must
not be used again and the appliance must be
disconnected from the electrical mains immediately.
You are advised to contact the after–sales service.
During testing, the hob may give off an acrid smell or a
smell of burning which will disappear completely in a
few minutes.
For good efficiency and minimum energy consumption,
use only casserole dishes and pans suitable for electric
hobs (i.e. with perfectly flat bottoms).
Pan bottoms must at least be as large in diameter as
the ring marked on the glass. If they are smaller, energy
will be wasted, and so larger pans should be used.
The pan bottom and the glass surface must always be
clean and dry.
These rules are fundamental; failure to observe them
will lead to loss of heat and thus wasted energy.
