- SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

We have designed this cooking hob for use by private individuals in their homes.

These cooking hobs are intended exclusively for cooking beverages and foodstuffs and do not contain any asbestos-based materials.

Residual heat

While an operating cooking zone is very hot, a lamp or "H" (depending on the models) for this zone, is lit in the indicator.

When a cooking zone is in a stop position and its temperature is high this display remains lit.

After a prolonged power cut another indicator light may appear; it will go out after any key is pressed. However, the temperature of the radiant cooking zones may remain high.

Warning

Do not touch these zones, burn risk.

Do not look for a long time at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones.

Child safety feature

Your hob has a child safety feature which locks it when stopped or during cooking (see section: using the child safety feature).

Do not forget to unlock before using again.

Electrical danger

Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.

If a crack appears in the surface of the glass, disconnect your appliance immediately to prevent a risk of electric shock.

To do this, remove the fuses or use the circuit breaker.

Do not use your hob until you have replaced the glass worktop.

- CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

• This appliance's packing materials are recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by depositing them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.

• Your appliance also contains many recyclable materials. It is therefore marked with this logo to indicate that used appliances must not be mixed with other waste. Recycling of the appliances organised by your manufacturer will thus

be undertaken in optimum conditions, in accordance with European directive 2002/96/CE relating to electrical and electronic equipment waste. Consult your city hall or your retailer to find the drop-off points for used appliances that is nearest to your home.

• We thank you for your help in protecting the environment.

COOKWARE FOR VITROCERAMICS

Cookware

It must be designed for electric cooking.

It must have flat bottoms.

Preferably use cookware made of:

• Stainless steel with a thick or "sandwich" three-metal bottom.
• Aluminium with a thick smooth bottom.
• Enamelled steel

Use

A higher setting is required if:
- there are large quantities
- cooking with uncovered cookware
- a glass or ceramic pan is used.
A lower setting is required if:
- cooking food which has a tendency to burn easily (start with a lower setting - the setting can be increased if necessary).
- a spill occurs (remove the lid or remove the pan, then reduce the setting).

- Energy saving:

To finish the cooking, set at position 0, leaving the cookware in position to use the accumulated heat (this will save energy).

Use a lid as often as possible to reduce heat loss by evaporation.

Automatic regulation of rings

The rings are regulated automatically; they switch on and off to maintain the selected power level. The temperature thus remains uniform and appropriate for cooking your food.

The regulation frequency varies according to the selected power level.

Tip

Use cookware of an appropriate size.

The diameter of the bottom of the cookware must be equal to or greater than the printed zone.

Do not leave empty cookware on a cooking zone.

HOB OPERATING SAFETY FUNCTIONS

- Auto-Stop system

If you forget to turn off a cooking zone your cooking hob has a safety function "Auto-Stop system" which automatically turns off the forgotten cooking zone after a predefined time (between 1 and 10 hours, depending on the power used).

If this safety function is activated, the disconnection of the cooking zone is signalled by the display "AS" or "A" in the control zone and a beep is emitted for approximately 2 minutes.

Simply press any key of the controls to stop it. A double beep will confirm your action.

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Avoid hard shocks from cookware:

The vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant, but not unbreakable.

Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A "sucker" effect might damage the vitroceramic top.

Avoid rubbing cookware: in the long term this might cause damage to the decoration of the vitroceramic top.

Do not place cookware on your frame or trimmings (depending on model).

Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy bottoms: they can capture and transfer particles that may produce stains or scratches on your hob.

These faults, which do not prevent operation or unsuitability for use, are not covered by the guarantee.

Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your cooking hob.

Do not reheat an unopened tin: it might explode.

Of course, this precaution applies to all types of cooking.

For cooking, never use aluminium foil. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob.

The aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance.

Objects not intended for cooking should never be placed on the hob (risk of powering on, scratches, etc.).

Steam cleaning should never be used. The steam jet could damage your hob.
