General safety

! Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is
never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be
provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the
electronic components used in the appliance.
! We advise against the installation of an induction hob above
an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing
machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space
for the ventilation of electronic components.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous.
The manufacturer may not be held liable for any
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical
shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with
a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens,
disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains
immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical
appliances do not come into contact with the hot
parts of the hob.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively
hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been
switched off. An indicator light provides a warning
when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
• Keep any object which could melt away from the
hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or
products with a high sugar content. Be especially
careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or
packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot,
they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned

towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental
burns.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug
from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity
mains.
• The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by
someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or
receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation
of the appliance.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other
active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping
with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It
is designed not to create interference on any other
electrical apparatus being used on condition that the
apparatus in question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic
fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob
and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply
with relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product
conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer
or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible
incompatibility.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation
so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid
urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling
the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-
out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of
their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.
