[. . . ] € WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire. € NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e. € WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces. € WARNING: If the surface in glassceramic is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. [. . . ] The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. Types of noise during normal hob operation: • Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that make up the induction element and the pot; it is generated by the electromagnetic field required for heating and increases as the power of the induction element increases. € Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or water is placed into the pot. € Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise. € Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high. The display will show the text DE and OF and the hob will be switched off. Overheating protection If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off automatically and appears on the display, followed by a flashing number. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again. Safety switch GB F Practical advice on using the appliance !Use cookware made from materials which are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. SUITABLE UNSUITABLE The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows “0”. For example: the rear right-hand hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 7 and a half hours of continuous operation, while the front left-hand hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 9 and a half hours.

[. . . ] 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. To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility. [. . . ]
