When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
This appliance is for domestic use only. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
Do not immerse the main body in water.
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 been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without
supervision.
This product is not a toy.
Do not use the appliance if any parts appear to be faulty, missing or damaged.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when connected to the mains supply.
Always unplug from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning, performing
user maintenance or changing accessories.
Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way.
Check to ensure that the electricity supply matches that shown on the rating plate.
Only use the attachments/accessories supplied with the product or recommended
by Giani.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service agent in
order to avoid a hazard.
Only use this appliance for its intended domestic use. Giani Ltd will not accept
any liability if the appliance is subject to improper use, or failure to comply with
these instructions.
Never allow metal or metal coated objects other than correct induction pans to come
into contact with the top surface of the appliance. This will damage the appliance.
Do not cover the appliance when it is switched on.
Do not connect the appliance to an external timer or remote control system.
The hob surface can become very hot during use. DO NOT TOUCH hot surfaces.
Allow the hob to cool down completely before handling or moving.
The appliance should be positioned at least 10cm away from walls to maintain good
airflow.
The induction hob heats up very quickly, so place the food into the pan first before
switching on the hob. Heating an empty pan can discolour the metal and may warp
the base.
Always place the pan centrally on the glass. Do not use a pan with a base larger
than 26cm as the heat created may cause the plastic casings to deform.
03
Do not use a heat diffuser or place any other material between the hob and the pan
when in use.
If the glass hob surface is cracked, turn off the power immediately and do not use.
NOTE: Customers with implanted cardiac pacemakers or other electronic
medical implants should not use this product, due to the magnetic fields
produced by the appliance.
Product Overview
Only use flat-bottomed pans that are induction suitable with this hob. If you are
unsure whether the cookware you have is suitable for use with this hob test by
holding a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan can be used
on this hob. If the cookware is not suitable, the hob will not detect the pan and the
error code E0 will be displayed along with a repeated beep.
Alternatively look for the Induction symbol on the packaging of the cookware to be
sure.
The induction hob is suitable for pans with a base diameter of 12cm – 26cm. Metal
cooking utensils are not recommended since they can be heated through the
induction hob if left in the pan during cooking and become extremely hot.

Hints and Tips
It may take a few uses to get used to how quick and efficient your induction hob is.
Manually cook on the first few uses without the timer so you can get used to the
product.
Start with a lower temperature setting than usual.
The hob may not look hot, but it could remain very hot so do not touch until
completely cool after cooking.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Unplug the induction hob and allow to cool completely before cleaning or storing
away.
To clean the unit and control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before
storing.
