Instructions
1 This appliance is intended for non-professional use
within the home.
2 Before using the appliance, carefully read the
instructions contained in this manual, as they
provide important information for ensuring safe
installation, use and maintenance. Keep this
manual as a reference guide.
3 After the packing has been removed, make sure the
appliance has not been damaged during transport. If
you have any doubts, do not use the appliance. Call a
qualified technician for assistance. For safety purposes,
keep all packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, tacks, etc.) away from children, as they are a
potential source of injury.
4 The appliance must be installed by a qualified
technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Improper installation due to a failure to
follow these instructions can cause injury or damage
to persons, animals or property. The manufacturer will
not be held liable for such damages.
5 The appliance’s electrical system is safe and secure
only when it is correctly connected to an appropriately
earthed system which complies with electrical safety
regulations. Make sure this basic safety requirement
has been complied with. If in doubt, have it checked by
a qualified technician. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damages caused by the improper earthing of
the appliance.
6 Before connecting the appliance, make sure the
specifications on the rating plate correspond to those
of your power supply.
7 Make sure that the current of the electrical system and
the outlets are sufficient for the maximum rated output
indicated on the rating plate. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician for assistance.
8 A multipolar switch, with a contact break of 3 mm or
more, must be fitted for installation.
9 This appliance must only be used for the purpose for
which it was designed.
10 All other uses (for heating for example) are considered
improper and, therefore, dangerous.
11 The manufacturer will not be held liable for damages
arising from improper, incorrect, or unreasonable use.
12 When using electrical appliances, the following basic
rules must be observed:
• never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are
wet.
• never use the appliance if you are barefoot.
• use extensions, if necessary, with extreme caution.
• never pull the supply cord, or the appliance itself, to
disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.
• never leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain,
sun, etc.)
• never let children or persons unfamiliar with the
appliance use it without appropriate supervision.
13 Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work on the
appliance, disconnect it from the supply mains, either
by removing the plug from the socket, or by turning off
the power at the mains.
14 If the glass surface of the cooktop cracks or breaks,
disconnect the appliance immediately from the power
supply. For repairs contact only authorised service
centres for assistance and make sure only original
spare parts are used. Failure to do so could impair the
safety of the appliance.
15 If you decide not to use the appliance any longer, make
it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the
mains and cutting the supply cord. Make any potentially
dangerous parts safe, this precaution is particularly
important for protecting children who might play with,
or in, unused or abandoned appliances.
16 The top made of ceramic glass is resistant to
sudden temperature changes and shocks.
However, if it is struck with pointed utensils or
objects such as cutting knives, it may crack or bre-
ak. If this occurs, disconnect the appliance
immediately from the power supply and contact
an authorised service centre.
17 Keep in mind that the cooking area remains hot for at
least a half an hour after the appliance has been turned
off. Make sure that you do not inadvertently place
containers or objects on the cooking area while it is
still hot.
18 Do not turn the heating elements on if there are plastic
objects or aluminium foil on the cooktop.
19 Do not get too close to the cooking areas when they
are hot.
20 When using small electrical appliances near the
cooktop, make sure that the supply chord does not
come into contact with those parts of the appliances
which are hot.
21 Make sure that the handles on pots and pans are turned
inward to prevent bumping them accidentally.
22 Never leave a cooking element on unless cookware is
placed on the element because the cookware will
become very hot in a short period of time and this may
damage the heating elements.
23 Instructions for using the appliance the first time.
The glue used to seal the glass may leave grease
residues. We recommend that these residues be
removed with a non-abrasive cleaning product before
the appliance is used. During the first few hours of use,
you may detect the odour of rubber. However, this will
disappear quickly.
