Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts
with the glass or the hot saucepan.
Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators)
should not be placed near to the engaged appliance.
In general do not place any metallic object except heating
containers on the glass surface. In case of untimely engaging or
residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.

Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not
contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or
other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on
the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating
zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surface.
Never place any hot container over the control panel.
If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make
sure the space between the content of the drawer and the
inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer
situated under the vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery
drawers must be resistant to heat.
