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;
-89/336/EEC dated 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

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.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or
other active implants:
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.
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.
