1. SAFETY AND REGULATIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
Please note! Pay strict attention to the following
instructions: ● The device must be disconnected from the
mains before carrying out any installation work. ●
Installation or maintenance must be performed by a
qualified technician, in compliance with the manufacturer's
instructions and local safety regulations. Do not repair or
replace any part of the product unless specifically stated in
the operating manual. ● By law, the product must be
earthed. ● The power cable must be long enough to allow
the product, built into the cabinet, to be connected to the
mains. ● In order for the installation to comply with current
safety regulations, an approved omnipolar switch is
required that guarantees complete disconnection from the
mains in overvoltage category III, in accordance with the
installation rules. ● Do not use power strips or extension
cords. ● Once installation is complete, the electrical
components must no longer be accessible by the user. ●
The product and its accessible parts get hot during use. Be
careful not to touch the heating elements. ● Ensure that
children do not play with the product; keep children at a
safe distance and supervise them as the accessible parts
may become very hot during use. ● For people with
pacemakers and active implants, it is important to check,
prior to using the induction hob, that their pacemaker is
compatible with the product. ● Do not touch the heating
elements of the product during and after use. ● Avoid
contact with kitchen towels or other flammable materials
until all components of the product have sufficiently cooled,
fire hazard. ● Do not place flammable materials on or near
the product. ● Overheated fats and oils easily catch fire.
Supervise the cooking of fatty or oily food. ● If the surface
is cracked, switch the product off immediately to prevent
the risk of an electric shock. ● The product is not intended
to be operated with an external timer or a separate remote
control system. ● Unattended cooking on a hob with oil or
fat can be dangerous and may cause a fire. ● The cooking
and installation
process must be supervised. A short cooking process must
be constantly monitored. ● NEVER attempt to put fires out
using water. Instead, turn off the product and smother the
flames, for example with a lid or a fire blanket. ● Fire
hazard: do not place objects on the cooking surfaces. ● Do
not use steam cleaners, risk of electric shock. ● Do not
place metal objects, such as knives, forks, spoons or lids
on the hob because they could become hot. ● Before
connecting the product to the mains: check the rating plate
(on the bottom of the product) to ensure that the voltage
and power correspond to the mains supply and that the
power socket is suitable. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Important: ● After use, turn off the hob using its control
device and do not rely on the pot detector. ● Prevent
liquids from boiling over; therefore, turn the heat down
when boiling or heating liquids. ● Do not leave the heating
elements turned on with empty pots and pans, or without
any cookware. ● Switch off the relevant cooking zone
when you have finished cooking. ● Never use aluminium
foil for cooking and never place products packaged in
aluminium directly on the hob. The 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 the age of 8 and by people with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without
experience or the necessary knowledge, as long as they
are properly 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
