[. . . ] €¢ The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance. €¢ Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance: • do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands, • never use the appliance when barefoot, • never use extensions, • never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance itself to unplug it from the mains socket, • never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc. ), • do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with the appliance to use it without supervision. [. . . ] • Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components used in the appliance. • We advise against the installation of an induction hob above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic components. First use: the glue used on the hob seals may leave greasy traces on the glass surface. We recommend you wipe these off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasive cleaner. During the first few hours of use, you may detect a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly. 26 Installation and fastening The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and technical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and in full compliance with the applicable norms in force. Installation • This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting out the corresponding slot. €¢ The worktop must be made with a material designed to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C. €¢ The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away from the back wall or any other vertical surface in order to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent the surfaces around the appliance from overheating. Just press the key, the indicator light next to the key lights up and the controls are locked. To change the power level setting or stop cooking, the controls have to be unlocked: press the key, the indicator light turns off and the controls are unlocked. €¢ or press the “-” key: the heating power drops progressively until the zone eventually turns off. If you have locked the hob controls (see paragraph below), the same will still be locked when you turn the hob back on. The safety devices Pan recognition Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recognition device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone. A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal: • that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is not ferromagnetic, • that the diameter of the pan is too small, • that the pan has been removed. Warning: oval cooking zones Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval is enabled. What cookware to use Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone. Use cookware made of material which is compatible with induction (ferromagnetic material). Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stainless steel saucepans are ideal. [. . . ] To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking zone(s) you wish to use. 32 Maintenance and care Advice on using your appliance To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing food. €¢ Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone. €¢ If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
