Warning and safety instructions

~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.

Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.

~When using an electric socket near the hob, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

~This appliance 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 pointed or 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.

~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

~Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if the induction hob is used intensively for a long time.

~Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

~If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven, the hob should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relevant section).

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
