• Never try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blan-
ket.
• Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get
hot.
• If the glass ceramic surface is cracked, switch off the appli-
ance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do
not rely on the pan detector.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
Warning! Only a qualified person must
install this appliance.
• Remove all the packaging.
• Do not install or use a damaged appli-
ance.
• Obey the installation instruction supplied
with the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from the
other appliances and units.
• Always be careful when you move the
appliance because it is heavy. Always
wear safety gloves.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to
prevent moisture to cause swelling.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance from
steam and moisture.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a
door or under a window. This prevents
hot cookware to fall from the appliance
when the door or the window is opened.
• If the appliance is installed above drawers
make sure that the space, between the
bottom of the appliance and the upper
drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.
• Make sure that the ventilation space of 2
mm, between the worktop and the front
of the below unit, is free. The warranty
does not cover damages caused by the
lack of an adequate ventilation space.
• The bottom of the appliance can get hot.
We recommend to install a non-combus-
tile separation panel under the appliance
to prevent access to the bottom.
Electrical connection
Warning! Risk of fire and electrical
shock.
• All electrical connections must be made
by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation make
sure that the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply.
• Use the correct electricity mains cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable tan-
gle.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if ap-
plicable) does not touch the hot appli-
ance or hot cookware, when you con-
nect the appliance to the near sockets
• Make sure the appliance is installed cor-
rectly. Loose and incorrect electricity
mains cable or plug (if applicable) can
make the terminal become too hot.
• Make sure that a shock protection is in-
stalled.
• Use the strain relief clamp on cable.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the
mains plug (if applicable) or to the mains
cable. Contact the Service or an electri-
cian to change a damaged mains cable.
