CAUTION
Strictly observe the following instructions:
• The device must be disconnected from the electrical
network before performing any installation work.
• Installation or maintenance must be performed by a
qualified technician, in compliance with the manufac-
turer's instructions and with local safety regulations.
Do not repair or replace any part of the device unless
specifically stated in the operating manual.
• Earthing the device is compulsory.
• Do not use multiple sockets or extension cords.
• Once installation is complete, the electrical compo-
nents must no longer be accessible by the user.
• The device and its accessible parts heat up during use.
• Be careful not to touch the heating elements.
• Ensure that children do not play with the device; keep
children away and supervise them, as the accessible
parts may become very hot during use.
• For people with pacemakers and active implants it is
important to check, prior to using the induction hob,
that their pacemaker is compatible with the device.
• During and after use, do not touch the heating ele-
ments of the device.
• Avoid contact with cloths or other flammable mate-
rials until all the device components have sufficiently
cooled.
• Do not place flammable materials on or near the devi-
ce.
• Overheated fats and oils easily catch fire. Supervise
the cooking of foods rich in fat and oil.
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the device to avoid
the possibility of an electric shock.
• The device is not intended to be run with an external
timer or a separate remote control system.
• Unattended cooking on a hob with oil or fat may be
dangerous and may cause a fire.
• The cooking process must be supervised. A short-term
cooking process must be constantly monitored.
• NEVER attempt to put fires out using water. Instead,
turn off the device and smother the flames, for exam-
ple with a lid or a fire blanket. Fire hazard: do not rest
objects on the cooking surfaces.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Before connecting the device to the electrical network:
check the data plate (on the bottom of the device) to
ensure that the voltage and power correspond to the
network values and that the connection socket is sui-
table. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT
• After use, turn off the cooktop and do not rely on the
pan detector.
• Prevent liquids from boiling over, so turn the heat
down when boiling or heating liquids.
• Do not leave the heating elements turned on with
empty pots and pans or with no pans.
• Switch off the relevant hot plate when you have fini-
shed cooking.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking and never pla-
ce products packaged in aluminium on the hob. The
aluminium would melt and irreparably damage your
device.
• Never heat a tin or can containing foods without ope-
ning it first: it might explode!
• This warning also applies to all other types of cook-
tops.
• High power levels such as the Booster function should
not be used to heat certain liquids, such as oil for fr-
ying. Excessive heat may be dangerous. In these cases,
we recommend the use of a lower power level.
• Containers must be placed directly on the hob center.
Under no circumstances may any other objects be
placed between the pan and the hob.
• If the temperature becomes high, the device automati-
cally decreases the power level of the cooking zones.
• Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work, dis-
connect the device from the mains power supply by
removing the plug or turning off the mains switch
• Wear protective gloves for all installation and mainte-
nance operations.
• The device can be used by children over the age of
eight and by people with impaired physical, sensory
or mental abilities or lacking in experience or the
necessary knowledge provided that they are supervi-
sed or after they have received instruction about how
to safely use the device and understand the inherent
dangers.
• Cleaning and maintenance must never be performed
by children unless they are properly supervised. The
room must be properly ventilated when the device is
used at the same time as other gas-powered devices,
or powered by other fuel.
The device must be regularly cleaned both internally and
externally (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH), in strict accor-
dance with the maintenance instructions. Failure to follow
the rules for device cleaning and filter replacement and
cleaning may result in a fire hazard. Food must never be
cooked flambè. Using a naked flame may damage the fil-
ters and cause a fire hazard; it must, therefore, be avoided
under all circumstances. Extra care must be taken when fr-
ying to prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire.
PLEASE NOTE:
• The accessible parts of the device may become hot
when hob is switched on.
• Do not connect the device to the electric power supply
until installation has been fully completed. The regu-
lations laid down by local authorities must be strictly
followed with regard to the technical and safety mea-
sures to adopt for fume extraction.
• When the device is used together with other devices
powered with non-electrical energy, the negative pres-
sure of the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10 • 5 bar).
• This manual must be stored for future consultation at
any time. If sold, transferred or moved, it must remain
with the device.
