Installation or maintenance must be performed by a
qualified technician, in compliance with the manufacturer's
instructions and local safety regulations. ● Only use the
fastening screws supplied with the product for installation,
or if not supplied, purchase the correct type of screws. ●
Use screws of the right length, as indicated in the
installation guide. ● Do not repair or replace any part of the
product unless specifically stated in the operating manual.
● 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. ● 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. ● The product and its
accessible parts get hot during use. Be careful not to touch
the heating elements. ● 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. ●
Unattended cooking on a hob with oil or fat can be
dangerous and may cause a fire. ● Extra care must be
taken when frying to prevent the oil from overheating and
catching fire. ● The cooking 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
and
installation
lid or a fire blanket. ● 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. ● 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. ● Switch off the relevant cooking zone when you
have finished cooking. ● The product is not intended to be
operated with an external timer or a separate remote
control system. Do not use steam cleaners, risk of electric
shock. ● Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work,
disconnect the product from the mains by disconnecting the
plug or turning off the mains switch. ● Cleaning and
maintenance must never be performed by children unless
they are properly supervised. ● The product must be
cleaned frequently both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH); always follow the instructions given in the
maintenance manual. ● This manual must be stored for
future consultation at any time. If sold, transferred or
moved, it must remain with the product.
● Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning
gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to
back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After
installation of a range hood or other cooking fume
extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be
tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of
combustion gases does not occur.
● 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. ● If the
surface is cracked, switch off the item to avoid the
possibility of electric shock ● Risk of fire: do not place
objects on the cooking surfaces. ● Do not place metal
objects, such as knives, forks, spoons or lids on the hob
because they could become hot. ● Important: ● After use,
turn off the hob using its control device and do not rely on
the pot detector. ● 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. ● 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
