Safety
The hob is designed with environmental
preservation in mind.
Respect the environment. Use the most suitable
power settings for each type of cooking. If you
wish, on radiant ring models, you can put another
pan in the same place as the previous one to use
the accumulated heat, as this will save energy.
Use a pan lid whenever you can to reduce heat
loss by evaporation.
Electrical and electronic equipment waste
management.
Do not dispose of these appliances together with
general domestic waste.
Take your hob to a special collection centre.
Recycling domestic appliances prevents negative
consequences for health and the environment
and enables savings on energy and resources.
For further information, please contact your local
authorities or the shop where you bought the
hob.
• The mains circuit supplying the hob must have
a single-pole cut-off switch with a separation
between contacts of at least 3 mm.
• The installation must be dimensioned to the
maximum power indicated on the reference
plate and the electrical socket must have a
regulatory earth connection.
• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
your after-sales service or by similar qualifi ed
staff, to avoid hazard.
• The induction rings have a pan detection
system. They only heat up if there is a pan on
them.
• After each use, switch off the ring at the control
panel. Do not leave it to the pan detector.
• If the surface of the glass should crack or
break, unplug the appliance from the mains
immediately to avoid risk of electric shock. Do
not use the hob again until the glass has been
replaced.
• Keep small children away from the hob and
use the child lock system to prevent them from
playing with the controls.
• This appliance is not designed to be used by
persons with reduced capacities.
• The hob must be installed by an authorised
installer following the manufacturer’s
instructions and diagrams.
• After intensive use, the cooking zone may
remain hot and the letter will appear. Do not
touch these zones (5.1.1).
• Spill-over protection: If any liquids should
boil over, or if any objects should be placed on
the sensors or cover them, will appear on
the display, a beep will sound and the hob will
switch off. Clean the glass or remove the object
and switch on the hob again (5.1.2, 5.1.3).
• Automatic switch-off: If you forget to switch
off the ring, it will switch off automatically after
a time lapse of 1 – 10 hours, depending on the
power setting selected.
Important! Attention users with pacemakers
and active implants: The hob functions in
accordance with the current electromagnetic
disturbance regulations (2004/108/EC directive).
It is designed not to interfere with the functioning
of other electrical appliances if they comply
with this standard. The induction hob generates
magnetic fi elds in its surrounding environment.
To prevent any interference between the hob and
a pacemaker, the pacemaker must have been
designed in accordance with the corresponding
regulation. Consult the manufacturer or your
doctor with regard to the pacemaker and its
conformities.
or appears.The electronic circuits have
overheated (4.1.3).
The pilot lights fl ash during functioning. An
unsuitable pan is being used.
At low power settings, a clacking noise is
heard during cooling. This is normal. The hob
switches on and off, self-adjusting the selected
power setting.
When the hob is switched off, the fan
continues running. This is normal. It helps the
electronic circuits to cool down.
