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