Precautions and tips
! This appliance has been designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The following
warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read
carefully.
This appliance conforms to the following European
Economic Community directives:
- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and subsequent
amendments;
- 2004/108/EEC dated 15/12/04 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
and subsequent amendments;

- 1275/2008 stand-by/off mode.
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.
! We advise against the installation of an induction hob above an
under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing machine
(vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space for the
ventilation of electronic components.
• 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 provided in this
booklet. 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 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.

The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal
requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to
create interference on any other electrical apparatus being
used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies
with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a
pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with
relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product
conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or
your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible
incompatibility.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
•
If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to
prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on
the hob as they may become hot.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid
urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and
recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing
potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the
owner of their obligations regarding separated waste
collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.
