Caution
In order to guarantee that your appliance operates in a safe and efficient manner:
•
seek help only from authorised technical assistance centres;
• always insist on the use of original spare parts.
1 This appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home.
2 These instructions are only valid for the countries whose
symbols appear in the manual and on the serial number
plate located on the appliance.
3 This is a class 1 (insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1
(recessed between 2 cabinets) appliance.
4 Before using the appliance, please read this instruction
booklet carefully as it contains important information
regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of
the cooker. Keep this booklet in a safe place so that, if
necessary, it may be consulted at a later date.
5 After the packaging has been removed, ensure that the
appliance is intact and not damaged in any way. If there is
any doubt, contact a professionally qualified technician
and do not use the appliance. All packaging (plastic bags,
polystyrene foam, staples, etc.) should be kept out of reach
of children as it is potentially dangerous.
6 The appliance must be installed by a qualified person in
compliance with the instr uctions provided. The
manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any harm
caused to persons or animals or for any damage to perso-
nal property resulting from incorrect installation.
7 The electrical safety of this appliance is only guaranteed
when it has been correctly connected to an efficient earthed
electricity supply in compliance with current electrical safety
regulations. This is a fundamental safety requirement that
must be checked and, if there is any doubt, you should ask
a professionally qualified technician to carry out a thorough
check of the supply system. The manufacturer may not be
held responsible for any damage caused by a mains supply
that has not been earthed correctly.
8 Before connecting the appliance, make sure its rating
(which can be found on the appliance itself and/or on the
packaging) corresponds to the power supply.
9 Make sure that the mains supply and the electrical sockets
can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which
is indicated on the serial number plate. If there is any doubt,
contact a professionally qualified technician.
10 The appliance must be connected to the mains by means
of an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of
3 mm.
11 If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask a
professionally qualified technician to replace it with a
suitable one. The technician should also make sure that
the power cables attached to the socket can withstand the
maximum power of the appliance. In general, it is not
advisable to use adaptors, multiple sockets and/or
extension cords. If this cannot be avoided, only use single
or multiple adaptors and extension cords that comply with
current safety regulations. Never exceed the maximum
current capacity indicated on the single adaptor or
extension cord, or the maximum power level indicated on
the multiple adaptor.
12 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use.
Shut off the main switch for the appliance when it is not
being used.
13 The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of heat
must never be covered.
14 Do not attempt to replace the power supply cable yourself.
If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, contact a
technical assistance centre that has been authorised by
the manufacturer.
15 This appliance should only be used for the purpose for
which it was designed. Any other purpose (for example,
heating the room) constitutes improper use of the oven
and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be held
responsible for any damage caused as a result of improper,
incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.
16 All users of electrical appliances should observe several
basic rules. These include:
•
Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or
feet.

from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sunlight, etc.)
• Do not allow children or disabled individuals to opera-
te the appliance without supervision.
17 Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply
(either by unplugging it or by shutting off the switch) before
cleaning it or carrying out any maintenance work.
18 Before disposing of the appliance, make it unusable by
unplugging it and cutting off the power supply cable. It is
also advisable to remove any potentially hazardous parts,
especially with regard to children who may use the old
appliance as a toy.
19 Do not use unstable or misshapen pans on the electric
cooking zones; this will help to avoid accidental spills. Make
sure pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob
in order to avoid accidental burns.
20 Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near
the appliance while it is in use.
21 If you are using small domestic appliances near the hob,
ensure that their power supply cables do not come into
contact with the hot parts of the surface.
22 Always make sure that the knobs are in the “ ¡” position
when the appliance is not in use.
23 The heating elements and several internal and external
parts of the oven become extremely hot when the
appliance is in use. Keep children well away from it and
do not touch the hot parts yourself.
24 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take all necessary
precautions to ensure that the appliance does not slide off
this pedestal.
25 If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appliance
immediately. For any repairs, contact only an authorised
after-sales service centre and demand original spare parts.
Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety
appliace.
26 The glass ceramic hob is resistent to thermal and
mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock
caused by a sharp object, such as tool for example. In this
case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an
authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.

half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from
placing any cookware or other items on the cooking
zone while still hot
