General Safety 2

Important: ● After use, turn off the hob using its control device and do not rely on the pot detector. ● Prevent liquids from boiling over; therefore, turn the heat down when boiling or heating liquids. ● Do not leave the heating elements turned on with empty pots and pans, or without any cookware. ● Switch off the relevant cooking zone when you have finished cooking. ● Never use aluminium foil for cooking and never place products packaged in aluminium directly on the hob. The aluminium would melt and irreparably damage your product. ● Never heat a tin or can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode! This warning also applies to all other types of hobs. ● High power levels such as the Booster function should not be used to heat certain liquids, such as oil for frying. Excessive heat may be dangerous. In these cases, we recommend the use of a lower power level. ● The cookware must be placed directly on the hob and must be centred. Under no circumstances may any other objects be placed between the pot and the hob. ● If the temperature becomes high, the product automatically decreases the power level of the cooking zones. ● Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the product from the mains by disconnecting the plug or turning off the mains switch. ● For all installation and maintenance operations, always use work gloves. ● The product can be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience or the necessary knowledge, as long as they are properly supervised or have been instructed on how to safely use the product and understand the inherent dangers. ● Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the product. ● Cleaning and maintenance must never be performed by children unless they are properly supervised. ● The room must be sufficiently ventilated when the product is used at the same time as other appliances that run on gas or other fuels. ● The product must be cleaned frequently both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH); always follow the instructions given in the maintenance manual. ● Failure to comply with the rules for product cleaning and the cleaning/replacement of filters, may create a fire hazard. ● Flambé cooking is strictly prohibited. ● Using a naked flame may damage the filters and cause a fire hazard, and must therefore be avoided under all circumstances. ● Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire. ● Please note! The accessible parts of the device may become hot when the hob is switched on. ● Please note! Do not connect the product to the mains until the installation is complete. ● The regulations laid down by local authorities must be strictly followed with regard to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume extraction. ● The extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the fumes generated by the combustion of gas or other types of fuels. ● Never use the product without the grille properly installed! ● Only use the fastening screws supplied with the product for installation, or if not supplied, purchase the correct type of screws. Use screws of the right length, as indicated in the installation guide. ● When this product is used together with other devices powered with non-electrical energy, the negative pressure of the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). ● This manual must be stored for future consultation at any time. If sold, transferred or moved, it must remain with the product.
