| Practical advice on using the appliance |
To obtain the best results from your hob:
•Use
•Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
•Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and durability, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.
•Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
•Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware placed on it because it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, which could damage the heating elements.
General safety
•The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.
•The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
•The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
•Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet.
•The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.

•If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
•Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
•Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see
•Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging:
if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
•Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
•When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
•Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
•Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
