Precautions and tips

! This appliance has been designed and manufactured
GB
in compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.

General safety

• 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 with bare feet 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..
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1
(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed
between 2 cupboards) appliance.
• Do not touch the heating elements or certain
parts of the oven door when the appliance is in
use; these parts become extremely hot. Keep
children well away from the appliance.
• 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.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Make sure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact with
the hot parts of the oven.
• The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion
of heat must never be covered.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in
the oven or when removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...)
near the appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, the materials could catch
fire.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the • position
when the appliance is not in use.
• 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.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no
circumstances should you attempt to perform
the repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further
malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact Assistance.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• Remember that the temperature of the cooking
zones remains relatively high 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 that could melt away from the
hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or
products with a high sugar content. Keep plastic
and aluminium film and packaging away from the
hob: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may
cause serious damage to the hob.
• Always make sure pan handles are turned towards
the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental
burns.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan
lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
• 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.
• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the same from
sliding off the pedestal itself.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control
and do not rely on the pan detector.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other
active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping
with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It
is designed not to create interference on any other
electrical apparatus being used on condition that
the apparatus in question also complies with this
legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic
fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction
hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed
to comply with relevant regulations.
