Note on use
䡲
During the first few hours of use, a cooking zone can give off an unpleasant
smell. This is normal for brand new appliances. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated.
䡲
If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
䡲
If the appliance is not operating properly or if cracks caused by an extreme
mechanical impact appear on the surface, disconnect the appliance from
the mains immediately.
䡲
If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services.
䡲
If any electronic components fail, it may not be possible to switch the ap-
pliance off in which case remove the fuse or switch the circuit breaker off.
䡲
Ensure the mains cables of other electrical appliances do not touch the hot
cooking zones or cookware, as the electrical cable insulation could get
damaged.
Important warning for persons with a cardiac pacemaker, a hearing aid or
a metallic implant
䡲
Induction hobs produce a high frequency magnetic field around the
cooking zones. Standing near the cooking zones can under unfavourable
circumstances have an adverse effect on or affect the working of the
pacemaker, hearing aid or metallic implant.
䡲
Tests have shown that under normal circumstances there is no risk to car-
diac pacemaker users. If, as the user of a cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing
aid or another type of implant), you would like to be reassured that using
the appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a competent
medical authority.
