Follow instructions:
Make sure to observe all rules and provisions in this instruction manual. Do not allow
anybody who is not familiar with the contents of this manual to operate the cooktop. These instructions are
not intended to cover every possible condition and situation. As with any electrical household appliance, use
common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining the cooktop.
Power cord:
Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with areas on the cooktop that get hot. Check
the cord regularly for damage. Do not use the appliance if the cord, or any other part of the appliance, has
been damaged. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Usage restriction:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children and pets:
Cooking appliances become very hot in use, therefore ensure children and pets are kept
away. If it is necessary for younger family members to be in the kitchen, ensure that they are kept under close
supervision at all times. Do not allow children to operate or play with any part of the appliance.
Pots and pans:
Do not use unstable cookware, plastic cookware or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
Do not let large cookware overhang the bench as this will deflect heat onto the benchtop, which could
damage the surface. Pot and pan handles may become hot during use; position handles away from the edge
of the cooktop and out of reach of children.
Frying food:
When frying food on the cooktop, check constantly and ensure the oil is not overheating and
becoming a fire hazard. Do not fill deep frypans more than one third full of oil. Do not leave unattended.
Combustible materials:
Do not cover the cooktop or place combustible materials on or near the surface even
when the hob is not in use.
After use:
Switch off all controls and allow the cooktop surface to cool before cleaning.
Clean regularly:
In the interest of safety and hygiene, ensure the cooktop is kept clean. Build-up of grease
could create a fire hazard.
Cleaning precautions:
It is recommended to disconnect the appliance from the mains power before cleaning,
if your setup allows and the plug is accessible. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any
other liquid. Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning the cooktop.
Disconnect:
Do not disconnect the appliance with wet hands. Hold the plug firmly, do not pull by the cord
when disconnecting.
Damage:
Do not use the cooktop if any part has been damaged or does not work properly. Repairs can
only be carried out by authorised service centres. Incorrect repair could expose you to the risk of electric
shock, fire or injury. Prolonged use of the unit in such conditions could cause fire or electrocution. In case of
damage, contact our after sales support centre using the details at the bottom of this page.
Do not modify:
Do not attempt to modify the appliance.
Do not use when faulty:
Do not use the cooktop in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be fixed by
an appropriately qualified and authorised person. Contact our after sales support line for advice.

of the product or noncompliance with these instructions.
