The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which this appliance is intended. When using your appliance follow basic safety precautions including the following: To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. [. . . ] Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop. The burner rings and touch controls are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well. ­ Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time. 18 Selecting cookware Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade. Each time this residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. Let the cooktop cool before cleaning. Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the cooktop surface. 19 Timer The cooktop has a timer which can be used to time activities in the kitchen and/or automatically turn off the burners. If multiple times are programmed, the time which elapses first is displayed. If this time is allocated to a burner, the respective indicator will flash.

[. . . ] Remember to maintain a minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) between the rear wall and the right or left side. ^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. If during installation the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius, maximum 3/16" (4 mm), can be carefully filed down to fit. 36 Installation Installing the spring clips Wood or corian countertops Granite countertops ^ Fix the supplied spring clips at the marked positions as shown above, by laying them on the upper edge of the cut-out and then securing them with the 1/8" x 1" (3. 5 x 25 mm) screws supplied. ^ For granite countertops, the spring clips must be placed in position and secured with strong, double-sided adhesive tape. ^ In addition, coat the edges of the spring clips with silicone sealant.
