negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both
energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product is marked with a
crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
Please Note:
•Ceramic hobs become hot and remain hot during and
immediately after use. Do not touch the hob until it has
been allowed to cool.

•Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic
surface when the hob is hot. These materials could melt
and cause damage to the hob.
•Never use the hob top for storage.
