Precautions for use
• The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it is not unbreakable: do not
drop pans onto it.
• Saucepans with damaged bases may trap and transfer materials which
could cause staining or scratching of the hob.
• Do not drag saucepans across the hob surface as in the long term this will
damage the design on the ceramic top.
These faults, which do not prevent operation or use of the hob, are not
covered by the guarantee.
The hob must not be used as a storage area.
• Do not store C LEANING products or any products which might be I NFLAMMABLE
in the unit located under your hob.
• When plugging electrical appliances into a socket nearby, make sure that the
power cable does not come into contact with the heating zones.
If a crack appears in the ceramic top,
disconnect the appliance from
the power supply immediately by removing
the fuses or activating the circuit breaker.
Do not use any part of the hob until the ceramic top has been
replaced
Useful advice
For the user
Safety
Check regularly that there are no objects (tea towel, paper, etc.) which might block the air
inlet located below your hob (see fitting P. 12).
• “Electronic” safety feature
A sensor constantly monitors the temperature of the electronic circuits. If the
temperature rises too high the power supplied by the hob will be reduced.
• “Empty pan” safety feature
Each heating zone is fitted with a sensor which constantly monitors its surface
temperature, so no more danger of overheating caused by empty pans.
• Detection of an object or a pan on a heating zone
A small object such as a fork, a spoon or even a ring left on the hob is not
detected as a saucepan.
The display flashes and no heating power is produced.
The safety system acts in the same way when it detects a pan which is not suitable
for cooking by induction.
IMPORTANT: If an oven is located under your hob (see installation options) the
thermal safety devices on the hob will prevent its simultaneous use when the oven
is in pyrolysis mode.
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers
and active implants:
The functioning of the hob is in conformity with current standards on electro-
magnetic interference.
Your induction hob also fully complies with the legal requirements (EC directives
89/336/EEC). It has been designed not to interfere with the operation of other
electrical appliances as long as these comply with the same legislation.
Your induction hob generates magnetic fields in its immediate area.
So that there is no interference between your hob and a pacemaker, the latter must
be designed in conformity with the relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee the conformity of our own product.
Insofar as the conformity of the pacemaker or any incompatibility is concerned,
you should consult its manufacturer or your doctor.
