SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Be fo re using the ceramic plate for the rst time read the Operating Manual carefully as
thus you can ensure safe operation and avoid damage to the plate.
• If the ceramic plate is operated near a radio, TV set or other emitting device, please check
whether the touch panel works correctly.
• Do not install the plate near refrigerating devices.
• The furniture the plate is tted in should be resistant to temperatures up to 100oC. The
requirement applies to the veneer, plastic surfaces, glues and varnishes.
• The plate can be used only after it has been tted into furniture, as only thus you will be
protected from accidental contact with live components.
• Elec tric appliances can be repaired only by qualied specialists. Unprofessional repairs
may compromise the safety of the appliance.
• Important! If the xed power supply cable is damaged, it should be replaced at the manu-
facturer or at an authorized servicing outlet, or by a qualied person to avoid danger.
• The appliance is disconnected from the mains only when the mains plug is pulled out from
the socket or when the fuse has been switched off ..
• Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control
panel.
• People with life function support implants (such as a heart pacemaker, an insulin
pump, or a hearing aid) must make sure that the operation of these devices is not
disturbed by the induction plate (induction plate frequency range is 20 to 50 kHz).
• When switched on the hotplates quickly become hot. To avoid unnecessary power con-
sumption, switch them on only after putting a cooking pot on them.
• A residual temperature indicator built-in into the electronic system tells you whether the
hotplate is still switched on and whether it is still hot .
• All the settings made before power switch-on are cancelled if power supply is cut. Proceed
cautiously once the power is restored. ‘H’ residual heat indicator will glow as long as the
heating zones are hot. Additionally, lock key symbol is on, as at initial start-up.
• If the mains socket is located near a hotplate, please make sure that the supply cord does
not touch the hot places.
• Do not leave the plate unattended when cooking on fats and oils as they create re hazard.
• Do not use plastic pots or containers made from aluminium foil as they melt in high tem-
peratures and may damage the ceramic plate.
• Sugar, citric acid, salt etc., both in liquid and solid state as well as plastic should not get
into contact with a hot hotplate.
• If through carelessness, sugar or plastic gets on a hot hotplate, you may not switch the plate
off but scrape away sugar or plastic using a sharp scrapper. Protect hands from burns.

burrs as otherwise the plate may get permanently damaged.
• The heating surface of the ceramic plate is resistant to thermal shock. It is neither hot nor
cold-sensitive.
• Avoid dropping objects on the plate. A point hit, for example a falling bottle with spices,
may in unfavourable circumstances lead to cracks and splits appearing on your ceramic
plate.
• Boiled over residuals of food may penetrate the damaged places and get to the live com-
ponents of the ceramic plate.
• Should cracks or splits appear on the surface of your ceramic plate immediately disconnect
it from the mains. In order to do so, switch off the fuse or pull out the mains plug from the
socket. Call the Customer Service.

centre collecting used electrical
and electronic goods. The collectors, inclu-
ding local collection points, shops and local
authority departments provide recycling
schemes. Proper handling of used electrical
and electronic goods helps avoid environ-

2012/19/UE and Polish legislation regarding
used electrical and electronic goods, this
appliance is marked with the symbol of the
crossed-out waste container.
HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
Using the electricity in a re-
sponsible manner not only
saves money, but also helps
protect the environment. So
let’s save electricity! This is
how it’s done:
●Use the correct cookware.
Cookware with at and a thick base can save
up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to
cover cookware with the lid, otherwise electri-
city consumption increased four times!
●Always keep the cooking zones and
cookware bases clean.
Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often
burnt stains can be removed only with agents
harmful to the environment.
●Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid to
peek into the pot.
●Do not install the hob in the immediate
vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
The electricity consumption is then unneces-
sarily increased.

INSTALLATION
Making the worktop recess
lWorktop thickness should be 28 - 40 mm, while its width at least 600 mm. The worktop
must be at and level. Edge of the worktop near the wall must be sealed to prevent ingress
of water or other liquids.
l There should be sufcient spacing around the opening, in particular, at least 50 mm di-
stance to the wall and 60 mm distance to the front edge of worktop.
lThe distance between the edge of the opening and the side wall of the furniture should
be minimum 55 mm.
lWorktop must be made of materials, including veneer and adhesives, resistant to a tem-
perature of 100°C. Otherwise, veneer could come off or surface of the worktop become
deformed.
lEdge of the opening should be sealed with suitable materials to prevent ingress of wa-
ter.
l Worktop opening must cut to dimensions as shown on gure 1.
lEnsure minimum clearance of 25 mm below the hob to allow proper air circulation and
prevent overheating. See Figure 2.
