1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual contains important informaon regarding safety, the use and maintenance of your new hob. Read
the manual and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultaon.
This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and electromagnec compability legislaon. However,
individuals fied with a heart pacemaker should maintain a safe distance from the appliance. This is because
it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with
which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of
potenally harmful interference.
Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the various packing materials responsibly, in full compliance with
local authority regulaons governing waste disposal.
This inducon hob is designed solely for use as a domesc appliance. No other type of use is permied. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use.
The appliance is not intended for use by people (children included) with physical, sensory or mental
impairment or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed
in its use by those responsible for their safety.
The cooking zones become extremely hot during use: keep children away from the appliance to avoid the risk
of scalding or burns.
The 4
th
lamp from the le (on both sides) will light on the control display to indicate “residual heat” in the
corresponding cooking zone: the temperature of the cooking zone is above 65 °C: do not touch the cooking
zone or place any object on it while the lamp remains lit.
If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and call
the Aer-sales Service immediately.
Any repairs or work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician.
This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged by high
temperatures from external heat sources (e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the electronic
circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the thermoprotector acvates, automacally switching off the hob. The
display shows an error message (see. secon “Troubleshoong Guide”). When the temperature returns to within
normal levels the hob is able to be switched on again.
Make sure the cooking zones and the booms of pots are dry before use.
Do not place metal objects such as kitchen utensils (knives, forks, spoons, …), lids or other similar items on the
cooking zones as they can become very hot.
Be extremely vigilant when cooking food with boiling oil or fat since these can catch fire. In the event of oil
catching fire, never aempt to put it out with water: switch the hob off and cover the pot immediately with a
lid; leave the pot on the cooking zone to cool down. Dispose of the oil in compliance with current regulaons.
When you finish cooking, press buon

Important: The inducon cooking zones will not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct
dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (See figure opposite).
Before switching the hob on, posion the pot on the desired cooking zone.
EXISTING POTS AND PANS
Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are
suitable for use on the inducon hob: pots are
unsuitable if they cannot be magnecally detected.
Ensure pots have a smooth boom, otherwise they may scratch the hob's glass ceramic surface. Check dishes.
Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially enamelled or aluminium ones. This could result in damage to
both the glass ceramic surface and the boom of the pots.
Never place hot pots or pans on the hob's control panel. This could result in damage.
