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
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover
the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean
and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the
cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the
base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.
This appliance conforms to the following European Economic
Community directives:
- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
- 2004/108/EEC dated 15/12/04 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
and subsequent amendments;
- 93/68/EEC dated 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments.

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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones for
long if they are present.
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.
