aluminium would melt and irreparably damage your product. ● Never heat a tin or
can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode! This warning also
applies to all other types of hobs. ● High power levels such as the Booster
function should not be used to heat certain liquids, such as oil for frying.
Excessive heat may be dangerous. In these cases, we recommend the use of a
lower power level. ● The cookware must be placed directly on the hob and must
be centred. Under no circumstances may any other objects be placed between
the pot and the hob. ● If the temperature becomes high, the product automatically
decreases the power level of the cooking zones. ● Before doing any cleaning or
maintenance work, disconnect the product from the mains by disconnecting the
plug or turning off the mains switch. ● For all installation and maintenance
operations, always use work gloves. ● The product can be used by children over

supervised or have been instructed on how to safely use the product and
understand the inherent dangers. ● Children must be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the product. ● Cleaning and maintenance must never be
performed by children unless they are properly supervised. ● The room must be
sufficiently ventilated when the product is used at the same time as other

damage the filters and cause a fire hazard, and must therefore be avoided under
all circumstances. ● Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from
overheating and catching fire. ● Please note! The accessible parts of the device
may become hot when the hob is switched on. ● Please note! Do not connect the
product to the mains until the installation is complete. ● The regulations laid down
