General safety

!Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components used in 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 when barefoot 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 outlined in this booklet. Any other use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper use and is dangerous.

The manufacturer may not be held liable for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect

and unreasonable use of the appliance.

• Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately to avoid electric shock, and contact a Service Centre.

• 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 Start-up and use).

•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 which 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.

•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.

•Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones for long if they are present.

•Do not let children play with the appliance.

•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
