Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully, scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam
could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never place hot pans near the control area. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
