and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultation.

Precautions and Advice

This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and

electromagnetic compatibility legislation.

However, individuals fitted 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

potentially harmful interference.

Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the various

packing materials responsibly, in full compliance with local

authority regulations governing waste disposal.

This induction hob is designed solely for use as a domestic

appliance. No other type of use is permitted. 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

letter “H”

will appear on the control panel

display to indicate “residual heat” in the

corresponding cooking zone: the temperature of

the cooking zone is above 60 °C: do not touch the

cooking zone or place any object on it while the

letter “H” remains lit.

If the surface of the hob should become damaged

(cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and

call the After-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 activates, automatically switching off the

hob. The display shows an error message (see. section

“Troubleshooting Guide”). When the temperature

returns to within normal levels the hob is able to be

switched on again.

10.

Make sure the cooking zones and the bottoms of pots are

dry before use.

11.

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.

12.

Be extremely vigilant when cooking food with boiling oil

or fat since these can catch fire. In the event of oil catching

fire, never attempt 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 regulations.

13.

When you finish cooking, press button .

Before use

Important

: The induction 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, position 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 induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be

magnetically detected.

Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, 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 bottom of the pots.

Never place hot pots or pans on the hob's control panel.

This could result in damage.
