IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety of electrical appliances from FIRST
Austria complies with the recognized technical
directives and legal regulations for safety.
Nevertheless, you and the other users of the
appliance should observe the following:
• Please read these instructions carefully before
using this appliance for the first time and
keep them for further reference.
• This product has not been designed for
any other uses than those specified in this
manual.
• Before connecting the appliance to the
power source, check if the voltage indicated
on the appliance corresponds with the
mains voltage in your home. If this is not the
case, contact your dealer and do not use the
appliance.
• If the appliance is grounded (protection class
I), the wall outlet and any extension to which
it is connected must also be grounded.
• During use, this appliance can generate a
significant current demand in your electrical
circuit. Therefore, it should be connected to
a separate circuit or not used simultaneously
with other appliances to avoid overload.
• Place the appliance on a clear, flat and heat-
resistant surface. Distance from the wall
should be at least 5 cm. The area above the
appliance should be kept free to allow an
unobstructed air-circulation. Never place the
appliance or power cord on hot surfaces. Nor
should the appliance be placed or operated
in the vicinity of exposed gas flames.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a
table or counter. Do not let the cord touch
hot surfaces.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers should
consult their doctor before using the
induction hotplate in order to rule out
possible risks.
• To protect from electrical hazard, do not
immerse this appliance or cordset in any
liquids.
• If the appliance or the power cord shows
any signs of damage, do not operate it! Take
the product to an authorized and qualified
service center for inspection or repair.
• Do not place flammable material (paper,
cloth, etc.) on or near the appliance.
• This device is intended for home use only, do
not use it commercially.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while
it is operating.
• Do not operate this appliance with an
external timer or remote-control device.

Therefore, be careful not to touch any of the
hot parts.
• Over-heated fats and oils can ignite. Food
prepared with oils and fats (e.g. French
Fries) should always be prepared under
supervision.
• Always disconnect the appliance from power
after use, before cleaning and in the event of
a malfunction.
• As long as the appliance is hot, it should be
supervised, even if it is not connected to the
mains. Nor should it be transported with a
saucepan on the hot-plate – risk of getting
burned. Allow the appliance to cool down
fully before cleaning and storing it.
• Do not pull directly on the power cord, rather
pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance
from the power source.
• Do not collide with the nucleated glass plate.
In case of breaking, turn off the unit and
unplug from power.
• The appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach
of children less than 8 years.
