Using the appliance
•Always switch cooking zones off after use.
•Take particular care when cooking with oils or fats that may
ignite.
•Cooking pans and ustensils and the hob itself become hot
during use. Caution, risk of injury to people and pets both
during and after use.
•Ensure no cable from any other appliance can come into
contact with the hob top or pans during use.
•Magnetic objects (such as credit cards, portable electronic
devices; etc.) must not be placed near the appliance during
use.
•Metal objects such as knives, forks, lids etc. must not be
placed on the hob as they may become hot.
•Don’t place any other metallic object than suitable pans on the
hob. In case of untimely activation or residual heat, metallic
object may become hot, melt or even burn.
•Never cover the hob with any cloth or other cover. This may
become hot and create a fire hazard.
•This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have

Precautions not to damage the appliance
•Use of damaged pans or those with raw cast iron bottoms may
damage the hob ceramic glass.
•Abrasive materials such as scouring cleaners and grits may
damage the ceramic glass.
•Avoid dropping objects onto the ceramic glass.
•Take care not to strike the edges of the hob with saucepans.
•Ensure that ventilation remains free from obstructions and
complies with instructions specified by the manufacturer.
•Do not place empty saucepans on the hob.
•Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium foil must not come into
contact with the heating zones. These may cause permanent
damage to the ceramic. If these should accidentally fall onto
the hob, turn it off immediately and carefully remove them.
Take care not to burn yourself.
•WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire.
•CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
•WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surface.
•Never place any hot items on the control panel.
•If a drawer is located below the hob, ensure that a minimum air
gap of at least 4 cm is left between the drawer contents and
the base of the hob. This is essential to guarantee correct
ventilation. A horizontal divider made of material capable of
withstanding 65°C above ambient temperature can be used to
ensure this air gap.
•Never place inflammable items or materials (like sprays) in a
drawer or cupboard below the hob. Cutlery drawers must be
resistant to heat.

•WARNING: If the ceramic glass is broken or cracked, don’t
use the appliance and turn off the electricity supply to avoid
the possibility of electric shock. Contact after-sales service.
•See the troubleshooting section in this manual.
Other protections
•Ensure that each pan is well centred on its cooking zone. The
pan base must cover as much of the cooking zone as possible.
•For those with heart pacemakers or active implants, the
magnetic field could influence its operating. You should obtain
information from the retailer or your attending physician.
•Do not use aluminium or plastic containers: they could melt
onto hot cooking zones.
•NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
