Precautions not to damage the appliance
x Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots) may damage
ceramic glass.
x Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
x Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
x Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
x Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance is in accordance with themanufacturer’s
instructions.
x Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
x 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).
x Never place any hot container over the control panel.
x 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.
x 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
x If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supply.
x If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact
after sales service.
x Servicing must be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
x WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other protections
x 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.
x For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could influence its operating. We
recommend discussing this with the retailer or a doctor.
x Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on cooking
zones that are still hot.
