SAFETY AND CARE DIRECTIONS
Correct use
•
To avoid damages to persons and fittings please
read this manual carefully before using the hob for
the first time.
•
Use the hob after installing it correctly; it is
important to avoid the contact with electric wire
components.
•
The hob is meant to be used only in domestic
installations not in the industrial field.
•
Use the appliance only to prepare dishes; other
uses at consumer risk, they can be dangerous.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility
for to damages caused by an incorrect use of the
appliance.
If there are children at home
•
Use control lock so as the children can not switch
on the hob or modify its setting.
•
The
appliance must be used only by adults,
who are able to understand the indications in
this manual. Often children can not perceive the
dangers of a functioning hob. Keep an eye on the
children carefully.
•
Grown-up children can use the appliance only if
they have been educated to use it carefully and
in absolute security and if they know the possible
damages caused by an incorrect usage.
•
Do not permit children to play with the appliance.
•
The hob warms and stays warm for some time
also after the switching off. For this reason
children must be taken far from the appliance to
avoid the risk of burns.
•
Take attractive objects far from children and the
hob, because they could lead them to approach
the appliance with consequent burn risks.
•
Make sure that children could not have the
possibility to upset hot pots or pans. Danger of
explosion and fire, in addition with burns. In the
market there is a special pan support which could
be useful to reduce accident risks.
•
Children
should be taken far from the packaging,
because some of its components (in plastic or
polystyrene) are dangerous (choking danger).
Carefully dispose of the packaging immediately.
Advise for better use of the hob
•
Take care not to throw objects or cutlery on the
ceramic surface. Also light objects (i.e. a salt-
cellar) might crack or damage the ceramic plate.
•
Do not use pots or pans with rough bottom
(i.e. cast iron), because they could scratch the
surface of the hob. Also grains of sand could
cause scratches.
•
Make
sure that sugar, liquefied or solid, plastic
or silver paper are not leant on the hot cooking
areas. These materials melt, stick on the surface
and when they cool they can crack, break or
damage permanently the ceramic surface. If
these substances inadvertently reach the hot
cooking areas, switch off the hob and remove
them with a spatula as soon as possible, when
the appliance is already hot.
Attention: since
the cooking areas are very hot there is the
possibility to scald yourself.
•
To
avoid a risk of food remains burning, get rid of
them immediately in case they overflow on to the
surface during the cooking; make sure that the
pot bottom is not soiled, but clean and dry before
leaning it on the hob.
•
Never use vapour devices. The vapour
pressure could permanently damage surfaces
and components of devices, for which the
manufacturer will not be responsible.
•
Never lean hot pots or pans on the control panel.
The electronics situated under the panel could be
damaged.
•
If under the installed appliance there is a
drawer, take care of that the distance between
the drawer, and so its content, and the lower
side of the appliance is enough. On the
contrary the aerification of the hob is not
warranted.
To avoid burns
•
When functioning the appliance is too hot and
maintains the temperature for some minutes
after the switching off. Only when the afterheat
lights go off there is no more danger of burns.
Pay attention to children at home, they must not
approach the hot hob.
•
Always use the proper knobs or pot holders to
move or to put pots and pans on the hob. The
knobs and pot holders material must not be wet
or damp. The dampness increases the heat
conductivity and so the risks of burns.
•
Do
not heat closed vessels, i.e. tin vessels, on
the cooking areas. The resulting overpressure
could cause the explosion of this material.
Producing a risk of danger.
•
Do not use the appliance as a rest surface and
in particular do not lean on metallic objects. If
the hob is unintentionally switched on or if the
cooking areas afterheat is already functioning
there is the risk that the resting object, depending
