BEFORE USING THE COOKING HOB • Keep the packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of the reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. • Check whether the cooking hob has been damaged during transport. • Ensure that the installation and electrical connections are performed by a qualified technician, following the manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with current local safety regulations.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS • The cooking hob is equipped with hotplates having different diameters. Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the hotplates, or slightly larger. • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans. • Do not operate a hotplate without placing a container on it. • If possible, keep the container covered when cooking. • Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a small amount of water in order to cut down cooking time. • A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and time.

Give the following information: • type of malfunction; • model of cooking hob; • service number (i.e., the number that follows the word SERVICE on the rating plate under the cooking hob and on the guarantee paper); • your complete address; • your telephone number and area code.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Electrical Connection • The electrical connections must comply with local regulations. • The data concerning the voltage and the power consumption is located on the serial number plate. • Earthing the appliance is a legal requirement. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for possible damage or injury to people, pets or objects arising from nonobservance of the regulations specified above.
