SAFETY
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots) may damage ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance is in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not come into contact with the heating zones. These may break
or damage the vitroceramic glass when cooling: switch on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot
heating zone (be careful not to burn yourself).
• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surface.
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the installed appliance, make sure the space between the contents of the drawer and the
base of the appliance is large: at least (2 cm). This is essential to guarantee correct ventilation.
• Never put flammable objects (ex. sprays) into the drawer under the vitroceramic hob. Cutlery drawers must be
resistant to heat.
PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF APPLIANCE FAILURE
• If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off theelectrical supply.
• If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact after sales service.
• Servicing must be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
• WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
OTHER PROTECTIONS
• Ensure that the pot or pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of the pan must cover as much of the
• cooking zone as possible.
• For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could influence its operating. We recommend discussing this with the
retailer or a doctor.
• Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on cooking zones that are still hot.
• NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame
e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
