What you should pay attention to
• Ceramic cooking is extremely safe. Various devices have been
incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and
a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of
precautions you should take.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by an
authorized service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting any
repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the (automatic)
fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the
switch in the power supply lead to zero.
• When the cable is damaged it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service organization or equally qualified persons,
to avoid dangerous situations.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to be
used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new
smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will
soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating time
will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.

overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and could be
damaged.

pan or a pan boiling dry.
