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.
General safety
• This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
• Gas appliances require regular air exchange to
maintain efficient operation. When installing the
hob, follow the necessary requirements
contained in the paragraph entitled
“Positioning”.
• These instructions are only valid for those
countries whose symbols appear in the manual
and on the serial number plate.
• The appliance is designed for domestic use inside
the home and not 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.
• When handling the appliance, always use the
handles provided on the sides of the hob.
• 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.
• Make sure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact with
the hot parts of the hob.
• The air circulation and heat dispersion vents must
never be covered.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the “l”/“ ¡ ”
position when the appliance is not in use.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull from
the plug, never from the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having previously disconnected the
appliance from the electricity mains.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no
circumstances should you attempt to perform the
repairs yourself by accessing the internal
mechanism. Contact a Customer Service Centre
(see Assistance).
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned
towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid
accidentally knocking the pans over.
• Do not close the glass cover (if present) while the
gas burners or electric hotplates are still hot.
• Do not leave the electric hotplate switched on
without a pan placed on it.
• Do not use unstable or warped pans.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities or by those unfamiliar or
inexperienced with the appliance, unless adequately
supervised by a person in charge of their safety or
unless they have been supplied with preliminary
instructions regarding appliance use.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Intensive and prolonged operation of the appliance
may require additional ventilation, for example a
window should be opened or more efficient
ventilation provided (the power of any mechanical
ventilation system could be increased, for instance).
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe
local regulations 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. Appliances no longer in use should be
collected separately for optimal recycling and
reusing of materials and to prevent potential health
and environmental hazards. The crossed-out
dustbin symbol is placed on all products as a
reminder of our obligation regarding separate waste
collection. For further information regarding the
correct disposal of household appliances, owners
may contact public service agencies or their local
dealer.
