Caution

1 This appliance was designed for domestic use
GB
inside the home.
2 Before using the appliance, please read this
instruction booklet carefully as it contains important
information regarding the safe installation, operation
and maintenance of the cooker. Keep this booklet
in a safe place so that, if necessary, it may be
consulted at a later date.
3 After the packaging has been removed, make sure
that the appliance is intact and has not been
damaged in any way. If there is any doubt, contact
a professionally qualified technician and do not use
the appliance. All packaging (plastic bags,
polystyrene foam, staples, etc.) should be kept out
of reach of children as it presents a potential hazard.
4 The appliance must be installed by a qualified
individual in compliance with the instructions
provided. The manufacturer shall not be held
responsible for any harm caused to individuals or
animals, or for any damage to personal property
resulting from incorrect installation.
5 The electrical safety of this appliance is only
guaranteed when it has been correctly connected
to an efficient earthed electricity supply in
compliance with current electrical safety regulations.
This is a fundamental safety requirement which must
be checked and, if there is any doubt, you should
ask a professionally qualified technician to carry out
a thorough check of the supply system. The
manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any
damage caused by a mains supply which has not
been earthed correctly.
6 Before connecting the appliance, make sure its
rating corresponds to the power supply data.
7 Make sure that the mains supply and the electrical
sockets can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the serial number
plate. If there is any doubt, contact a professionally
qualified technician.
8 The appliance must be connected to the mains using
an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact
opening of 3 mm.
9 This appliance should only be used for the purpose
for which it was designed.
10Any other purpose (for example, heating the room)
constitutes improper use of the oven and is
dangerous.
11The manufacturer may not be held responsible for
any damage caused as a result of improper,
incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.
12All users of electrical appliances should observe
several basic rules. These include:
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands
or feet.
• Do not use the appliance when barefoot.
• Do not use extension cords. If this cannot be
avoided, be especially careful.
14
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sunlight, etc.)
• Do not allow children or disabled individuals to ope-
rate the appliance without supervision.
13Always disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply (either by unplugging it or by shutting off
the switch) before cleaning it or carrying out any
maintenance work.
14If the glass surface cracks, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply immediately. When it comes
to repairing the appliance, use the services of an
authorised technical assistance centre only and
make sure that genuine spare parts are used. Failure
to comply with the above may compromise the safety
of the appliance.
15Before disposing of the appliance, make it unusable
by unplugging it and cutting off the power supply
cable. It is also advisable to remove any potentially
hazardous parts, especially with regard to children
who may use the old appliance as a toy.
16The glass ceramic hob is able to withstand tempe-
rature fluctuations and shocks. Nevertheless, if it is
struck with objects such as knives or utensils with
sharp edges, it may break. If this should occur,
disconnect the electricity supply immediately and
contact an authorised assistance centre.
17Bear in mind that the cooking zone remains hot for
at least half an hour after it has been switched off.
Make sure that no pans or other objects are
inadvertently left on any zones which are still hot.
18Do not switch on the cooking zones if there are any
pieces of aluminium foil or plastic objects on top of
the hob.
19Do not get too close to any cooking zones which
are still hot.
20If you are using small domestic appliances near
the hob, make sure that their power supply cables
do not come into contact with the hot parts of the
hob.
21Make sure that pan handles are turned towards the
centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
22Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so will lead to the maximum
heat level being reached in a very short time,
potentially resulting in damage to the heating
elements.
23Please read before using the appliance for the first
time: The glue used to create a seal around the glass
may leave a greasy residue. We recommend these
are removed using a non-abrasive cleaning product
before the appliance is used. During the first few
hours of operation, there may be a smell of rubber;
this will disappear quickly.
24Do not look directly at the halogen heating elements
while they are switched on: they produce a strong
light which may irritate the eyes.
