This appliance is for household use only. Do not change the specification of
this appliance.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed
on the hob surface since they can get hot.

Permitted use
Risk of injury, burns, electric shock, fire, explosion or damage to the

This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other
purposes, for example room heating.
Remove all the packaging, labelling and protective film (if applicable) before
first use.
Make sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
Do not operate the appliance with wet hands or when it has contact with water.
When you place food into hot oil, it may splash. Fats and oil, when heated,
can release flammable vapours. Keep flames or heated objects away from fats
and oils when you cook with them. The vapours that very hot oil releases can
cause spontaneous combustion. Used oil, that can contain food remnants, can
cause fire at a lower temperature than oil used for the first time.
Do not activate the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware. Do
not keep hot cookware on the control panel. Do not put a hot pan cover on the
glass surface of the hob. Do not let cookware boil dry. Do not put aluminium
foil on the appliance. Cookware made of cast iron or with a damaged bottom can
cause scratches on the glass / glass ceramic. Always lift these objects up
when you have to move them on the cooking surface. Be careful not to let
objects or cookware fall on the appliance. The surface can be damaged.
Clean the appliance regularly to prevent the deterioration of the surface
material. Deactivate the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Clean
the appliance with a moist soft cloth. Use only neutral detergents. Do not use
abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or metal objects.
Users with a pacemaker must keep a distance of minimum 30 cm from the
induction cooking zones when the appliance operates.
Installation
The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons – risk of
injury. Always use safety gloves and enclosed footwear – risk of cuts.
Installation, electrical connections, service and repairs must be carried out
by the authorised installer. Follow the assembly instructions supplied with
the appliance.
Remove all the packaging. Make sure that the appliance has not been damaged
during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest
Authorised Service Centre. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
Install the appliance in a safe and suitable place that meets installation
requirements. Do not use the appliance before installing it in the built-in
structure.
Keep the minimum distance from other appliances and units. The appliance must
be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation – risk
of electric shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not
damage the power cable – risk of fire or electric shock. Only activate the
appliance when the installation has been completed.
Carry out all cabinet cutting works before fitting the appliance in the
furniture and remove all wood chips and sawdust. Seal the cut surfaces with a
sealant to prevent from moisture which could lead to swelling. Protect the
bottom of the appliance from steam and moisture. Do not install the appliance
next to a door or under a window to prevent hot cookware from falling off the
appliance when the door or the window is opened.
Make sure that the space underneath the hob is sufficient for air circulation.
The bottom of the appliance can get hot. If the appliance is installed above
the drawers, make sure to install a noncombustible separation panel under the
appliances to prevent access to the bottom.
After installation, the bottom of the appliance must no longer be accessible –
risk of burns.
Electrical warnings
Make sure that the parameters on the rating plate are compatible with the
electrical ratings of the mains power supply.
Before carrying out any operation make sure that the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply.
Do not use extension leads, multi-plug sockets or adapters. The appliance must
be earthed if the symbol (
) is not printed on the rating
plate. Make sure that a shock protection is installed. Use the correct
electricity mains cable. Use the strain relief clamp on the cable. The
electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation.
Make sure the appliance is installed correctly. Loose and incorrect
electricity mains cable or plug (if applicable) can make the terminal become
too hot. Make sure the mains cable or plug (if applicable) does not touch the
hot appliance or hot cookware, when you connect the appliance to a socket
nearby. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the end of the
installation.
Make sure that there is access to the mains plug after the installation.
The shock protection of live and insulated parts must be fastened in such a
way that it cannot be removed without tools. The electrical installation must
have an isolation device which lets you disconnect the appliance from the
mains at all poles. The isolation device must have a contact opening width of
minimum 3 mm. Use only correct isolation devices: line protecting cutouts,
fuses (screw type fuses removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and
contactors.
To replace the power cable, contact the Authorized Service Centre.
Concerning the lamp(s) inside this product and spare part lamps sold
separately: These lamps are intended to withstand extreme physical conditions
in household appliances, such as temperature, vibration, humidity, or are
intended to signal information about the operational status of the appliance.
They are not intended to be used in other applications and are not suitable
for household room illumination.
Before disposal, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. Cut off the
mains cable close to the appliance and dispose of it.
Energy saving tips
When you heat up water, use only the amount you need. If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware. Before you activate the cooking zone put the cookware on it. Put the smaller cookware on the smaller cooking zones. Put the cookware directly in the centre of the cooking zone. Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or to melt it.
Care and cleaning
General information
Warning! Switch off the appliance and let it cool down before you clean
it.
Warning! For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam
blasters or high-pressure cleaners.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive cleaning agents will damage the
appliance. Clean the appliance and remove the residues with water and dish
soap after each use. Remove also the remnants of the cleaning agents.
**** Scratches or dark stains on the glass ceramic that cannot be removed do
not affect the functioning of the appliance.
Removing the residues and stubborn residues
Food containing sugar, plastics, or tin foil residues should be removed at
once. A scraper is the best tool for cleaning the glass surface. It is not
supplied with the appliance.
Place a scraper on the hob surface at an angle and remove residues by sliding
the blade over the surface. Clean the appliance using a damp cloth and some
dish soap.
Finally, wipe the glass surface dry with a clean cloth.
Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes, or shiny metallic discolourations
should be removed after the appliance has cooled down. Use only a specialised
cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
Environmental concerns
Recycle materials with the symbol ****. Put the packaging in relevant containers to recycle it. Help protect the environment and human health by recycling waste of electrical and electronic appliances. Do not dispose of appliances marked with the symbol with the household waste. Return the product to your local recycling facility or contact your municipal office.
