Precautions and tips
This appliance has been designed and manufactured
!
in compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
Practical advice on using the appliance
To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere
to the cooking zone perfectly.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always
dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and
durability, not only for the cooking zones but also for
the cookware itself.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may
have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware
placed on it because it heats up and rapidly
reaches the maximum level, which could damage
the heating elements.
General safety
• 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 with bare feet 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 provided in this booklet. Do not use the
hob as a worktop or chopping board.
• 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.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• 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 that 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.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan
lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• 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.
