Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have been
incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and a cooking time
limiter. There are nevertheless a number of precautions you should take.
Connection and repair
■
This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
■
Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by the service
technician.
■
Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting
any repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the
(automatic) fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent
connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.
■
Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5°C.
During use
■
This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to
be used for food preparation only.
■
When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a
“new smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated
the smell will soon disappear.
■
Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the
heating time will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob
unattended if you are using a zone on a high setting.
■
Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use.
Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
■
Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected
against overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and
could be damaged. The guarantee does not cover any damage
caused by a pan boiling dry.
