• Installation or maintenance must be per-
formed by a qualified technician, in com-
pliance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions and with local safety regulations. Do
not repair or replace any part of the device
unless specifically stated in the operating
manual.
• Earthing the device is compulsory.
• Do not use multiple sockets or extension
cords.
• Once installation is complete, the electrical
components must no longer be accessible
by the user.
• The device and its accessible parts heat up
during use. Be careful not to touch the
heating elements.
• Ensure that children do not play with the
device; keep children away and supervise
them, as the accessible parts may become
very hot during use.
• For people with pacemakers and active im-
plants it is important to check, prior to us-
ing the induction cooktop, that their pace-
maker is compatible with the device.
• During and after use, do not touch the
heating elements of the device.
• Avoid contact with cloths or other flam-
mable materials until all the device com-
ponents have sufficiently cooled.
• Do not place flammable materials on or
near the device.
• Overheated fats and oils easily catch fire.
Supervise the cooking of foods rich in fat
and oil.
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the
device to avoid the possibility of an electric
shock.
• The device is not intended to be run with
an external timer or a separate remote
control system.
• Unattended cooking on a cooktop with oil
or fat may be dangerous and may cause a
fire.
• The cooking process must be supervised.
A short-term cooking process must be
constantly monitored.
• NEVER attempt to put fires out using wa-
ter. Instead, turn off the device and
smother the flames, for example with a lid
or a fire blanket. Fire hazard: do not rest
objects on the cooking surfaces.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Before connecting the device to the elec-
trical network: check the data plate (on the
bottom of the device) to ensure that the
voltage and power correspond to the net-
work values and that the connection
socket is suitable. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
• After use, turn off the cooktop at the
switch and do not rely on the pan detector.
• Prevent liquids from boiling over, so turn
the heat down when boiling or heating li-
quids.
• Do not leave the heating elements turned
on with empty pots and pans or with no
pans.
• Switch off the relevant hot plate when you
have finished cooking.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking and
never place products packaged in alu-
minium on the cooktop. The aluminium
would melt and irreparably damage your
device.
• Never heat a tin or can containing foods
without opening it first: it might explode!
• This warning also applies to all other types
of cooktops.
• High power levels such as the Booster
function should not be used to heat cer-
tain liquids, such as oil for frying. Excessive
heat may be dangerous. In these cases, we
recommend the use of a lower power
level.
• Containers must be placed directly on the
cooktop and in the center. Under no cir-
cumstances may any other objects be
placed between the pan and the cooktop.
