whether the appliance is intact. If you have any
doubts, contact a qualified professional before
using the appliance.
• Never leave the packing components (plastic
bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the
reach of children since these are a source of
potential danger.
• The appliance must be installed by a qualified
technician in compliance with the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
• The latter denies all responsibility for improper
installation which may harm persons and
animals and damage property.
• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be
guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently
earthed, in compliance with regulations on
electrical safety. Always ensure that this vital
safety measure has been taken. If you have any
doubts, call in a qualified technician to check the
electrical system thoroughly.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for
damage resulting from a system which has not
been earthed correctly.
• Before powering the appliance, check whether
the technical characteristics featured on the
appliance data plate correspond with those of the
mains electrical system.
• Check that the current load of the mains supply
and of the power sockets is suitable for the
maximum power of the appliance, indicated on
the appliance data plate. If in doubt, contact a
qualified professional.
• This appliance must only be used for the
purpose for which it was expressly designed.
Any other use (such as heating a room for
example) is considered to be improper and
consequently dangerous.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for
damage resulting from improper or incorrect use
of the appliance.
• If you use small electric appliances near the hob,
make sure their power supply cable does not
come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Certain fundamental rules must be followed
when using electrical appliances.
The following are of particular importance:
• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp
hands,
• never use the appliance when barefoot,
• never use extensions,
• never pull on the power supply cable or the
appliance itself to unplug it from the mains
socket,
• never leave the appliance exposed to
atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc.),
• do not allow children or persons who are not
familiar with the appliance to use it without
supervision.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains
or switch off the main switch before cleaning
or performing any cleaning or maintenance
operations.
• If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug
the appliance immediately.
For any repairs,
contact only an authorised after-sales service
centre and demand original spare parts.
Failure to comply with the above may
compromise the safety of the appliance.
• Cut the power supply cable after
disconnecting it from the power mains when
you decide not to use the appliance any
longer. Also make all potentially dangerous
parts of the appliance safe, above all for
children who could play with the appliance.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal
and mechanical shocks.
However, it may
break due to a shock caused by a sharp
object, such as a tool for example. In this
case, unplug the appliance immediately
and contact an authorised after-sales
service centre to have it repaired.
• Remember that the heating area stays hot for
at least half an hour after being turned off;
please refrain from placing any cookware or
other items on the cooking zone while still hot.
• Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium
foil or plastic items have been placed on the
hob surface.
• Do not go near the heating zones when these
are still hot.
• Make sure all pan handles are always pointing
inwards towards the centre of the hob to
prevent any accidental spills.
