• Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
• The appliance may not be used outdoors.
• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance can
be switched on by accident or still be hot, which means that
objects could melt, get hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar.
If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a fire hazard.
• Never clean the hob with a high pressure cleaner or steam cleaner.
• Do not use the appliance in a room with an ambient
temperature below 5°C.
• If the appliance is used for the first time, it will smell 'new'.
This is normal. The smell will disappear through ventilation.
WARNING : if the glass plate of the induction hob is broken:
•
- immediately switch off all burners and electrical
heating elements and interrupt the power supply
to the appliance.
- do not touch the surface of the appliance.
- do not use the appliance.
• If a drawer is fitted underneath the appliance, without
an intermediate shelf, then no easily flammable objects/
substances may be stored in it. Ensure there is several
centimetres clearance between the underside of the hob
and the contents of any drawer.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means
of an external timer or a separate remote control system.
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons
and lids on the surface of the hob. These can become hot.
• When you remove the pan from the induction hob, the cooking
activity is stopped automatically. However, always make
it a habit to switch off the hob or cooking zone to prevent
unwanted activation. Switch off the cooking zone by means of
the control and do not only rely upon the pan detection system.
• The ceramic plate is very strong, but not unbreakable.
If something falls on it, such as a spice jar or a pointy object,
this may result in a broken plate.
WARNING : if the surface is cracked, switch off
•
the appliance to avoid the risk of an electric shock.
• At higher positions, you should be aware of the very fast heating
time. Always remain nearby after adjusting a cooking zone
to a higher position.
