USE WARNINGS

• Before powering the appliance for the first time, remove any protective films and adhesives.

While using, saucepans and kitchenware can cause noise that may depend on: - a high power level. - different materials of the bottom of saucepans. - Never use water to put out a fire. Deactivate the cooking area. Choke flames with a cover, a fireproofing blanket, or something similar. - Do not keep inflammable objects in the drawers below the cooker. The cutlery tray shall be made of fire-resistant material. - Do not heat empty saucepans or frying pans and always check that saucepans have a minimum quantity of liquids inside. - Switch off the cooker after use. - Continuously check the cooking when greases and oils are used, as they can easily catch fire. - Heat greases and oils at maximum for one minute and never use the Booster function. - Pay attention not to burn yourself during and after using the device. - Make sure that no fixed or mobile power cable of the device is in contact with the glass or a hot frying pan. - Do not use the cooker to heat pots. - Do not apply any type of cover on the cooktop. - Electrical cables are not to be in contact with the cooker. - It is recommended to protect hands from heat using pot holders. Only use dry gloves or pot holders. - Only use cookware with smooth and magnetic bottoms suitable for induction hobs. - Avoid that sugar, synthetic materials, or aluminium films come into contact with the hot areas. During cooling, those substances can cause cracks or other alterations on the pyroceram surface: switch off the device and immediately remove from the cooking area that is still hot. - When moving saucepans, make sure to lift them rather than slide them over the surface. - Saucepans and cooker are to be perfectly clean before being in contact. - Do not drop objects on the hobs!

Only use saucepans with magnetic bottoms. Other materials are not admitted.

Kitchenware have different types of bottoms.

The bottoms can be completely ferrous, non-ferrous, or a blend of both materials.

• Bottoms with non-ferrous material (aluminium, copper, ...) cannot be used with induction hobs.
• Bottoms with blended material might not heat evenly or reach high temperatures. If bottoms mainly consist of non-ferrous material, the hob might not recognise the pan and the cooking zone does not switch on. Furthermore some of these materials tend to release material that bonds with the screen-printing of the glass, ruining it beyond repair.
• Fully ferrous flat bottoms are the most suitable and the heat is distributed evenly.

• Use saucepans of appropriate size to the desired cooking area.
• Always use a saucepan or frying pan on each cooking area, even with the BRIDGE function.
• Do not place hot saucepans on the sensor keys or the LEDs, as this could cause damage to the electronic components underneath.
• Keep controls and lamps always clean.
• Do not keep metal objects directly below the cooker.
• Possibly use always covers to avoid heat dispersion. Cook with little water.
• After starting grilling or cooking dishes bring the power level to a lower one.

Safety and warning indications

Warning for people wearing pacemakers:

Keep in mind that when the appliance is being used an electromagnetic field forms in the immediate proximity. There is therefore a remote possibility that the operation of the pacemaker might be affected.

If in doubt, contact the pacemaker manufacturer or your GP.

The electromagnetic field of the hob during operation can affect the operation of magnetisable objects. Credit cards, life-saving devices, pocket calculators etc. should not be in the proximity of a hob when in operation.

Metal objects stored in the drawer underneath the appliance may become hot in case of prolonged use. Do not store metal objects in a drawer immediately underneath the hob.

The appliance is equipped with cooling fans. If there is a drawer under a built-in appliance, a separation must be ensured between the drawer and the bottom of the appliance, for appropriate hob ventilation and to make sure the fans are not obstructed.

Never use two saucepans or pans on the same cooking zone, or a rectangular cooking zone, or a PowerFlex cooking area.

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.

Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION!

For cleaning, never use a steam equipment.

Before cleaning the cooker, make sure that it is at room temperature. Always clean the cooker after each use with a specific cleanser for pyroceram.

Do not use products containing: - corrosive agents (soda, acids, ammoniac). - abrasive agents (dusts or paste).

Do not wash the flaps in a dishwasher.

Do not use pointed or abrasive objects.

After cleaning, dry the appliance with a soft cloth.

USEFUL CARE TIPS

Clean your glassceramic cooktop regularly, preferably every time you use it. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring agents. Harsh chemical cleaners like oven sprays or stain removers are also unsuitable, as are bathroom or household cleaners.

Accidents happen ...

Do not allow the hot hob to come into contact with plastic, tin foil, sugar or sugary food that has fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop. Please scrape it off the hot surface as quickly as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glass-ceramic cooktop.

Sparkling results in only three steps:

To thoroughly clean your glass-ceramic cooktop, first remove dirt and food with a suitable metal scraper.

Once the glass-ceramic cooktop has cooled, put a few drops of a suitable cleaner on it and rub it on with a paper towel or a clean cloth.

Then wipe the glass-ceramic cooktop with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean cloth.

How do I identify a suitable glass-ceramic scraper?

• Scraper made of metal (won't melt or catch fire)
• Scraper easy to lock / to unlock
• Blade is fixed precisely, it does not shift
• Blade is unbroken, clean and stainless
• Scraper certified by testing institute, if procurable (e.g. TUV-GS seal)
• User manual and safety instructions available

CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES

Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.

For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.

METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS

It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (F) (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them.

Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.

Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.

Washing in a dishwasher is permitted.

To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions.

CARBON AND ZEOLITE FILTERS (OPTIONAL) KACL.963

In normal use conditions, we recommend regenerating the zeolite-carbon filter every 9 months and replacing it after 18 months. Simply place it in a domestic oven at a temperature of 200°C for approximately 1 hour to regenerate it. Wait until the filter cools before reassembling it.

GREASE DRIP TRAY

It is advisable to clean the tray every 1 month.

Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.

For more thorough cleaning, remove the oil collection tray (see figure) and wash it with water and washing up liquid. Rinse it well and wait for it to be completely dry before reassembling it.

DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the appliance means that the product is WEEE, i.e. "Waste electrical and electronic equipment", accordingly it must not be disposed of with unsorted waste (i.e. with

"mixed household waste"), but it must be disposed of separately so that it can undergo specific operations for its re-use, or a specific treatment, to remove and safely dispose of any substances that may be harmful to the environment and remove the raw materials that can be recycled. Proper disposal of these products contributes to saving valuable resources and avoid potential negative effects on personal health and the environment, which may be caused by inappropriate disposal of waste.

Intended use

The warming drawer is intended for preparing, reheating and keeping food warm in domestic environments. The warming drawer must not be installed outdoors or in places where it may be exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, wind, etc.). - Any use other than those indicated above is not permitted. - The appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

Do not leave the warming drawer on without supervision.

The appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use, for cooking and reheating food in domestic environments, not in professional environments. Any other use, different from that intended, is considered improper and could cause damage to persons, property and domestic animals, and relieves the manufacturer of any liability.

Risk of burns

• Use the command lock key to prevent the appliance from being switched on by unauthorized persons.
• Do not allow children to touch the control panel or the cooking zones to prevent burns.
• Switch off the heating zones after use. Do not place metal objects on the heating zones.

Safety instructions

• Installation must be carried out by qualified and experienced installers in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and current safety standards.

In case of damage to the cord or other components, do not use the appliance: disconnect it from the mains and contact your local dealer or an authorized service center.

Do not make any electrical, mechanical, or functional modifications to the appliance.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance or replace its parts yourself. Work performed by unqualified or unauthorized personnel may cause damage, including serious damage, to property and/or persons, and will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Use only cookware with a ferromagnetic base. The use of other materials is not permitted.

Kitchen utensils can be made of different materials.

They can be made entirely of iron, of an alloy containing iron, or of a material that does not contain it.

If the cookware is not made of a ferromagnetic alloy (aluminum, copper, etc.), it cannot be used on the induction hob. The bottom of such material may heat up unevenly and not reach high temperatures. If the cookware is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic material, the hob cannot detect it and the heating zone is not activated. Also, some of these materials release substances that react with the material from which the glass-ceramic hob is made, causing irreparable damage. Flat-bottomed cookware made entirely of ferromagnetic material is the most recommended and distributes heat evenly.

Use cookware with a diameter matching the diameter of the heating zone used. - Place only one pan or pot on each heating zone, even when the BRIDGE function is activated. Do not place hot cookware on the sensor keys or on the indicator lights, as this may damage the electronics located underneath.

Keep the keys and indicators clean.

Do not store metal objects directly under the hob. - Whenever possible, always use the cookware lid to reduce heat loss. - Cook dishes with a small amount of water. - After cooking (frying or boiling), switch the appliance to a lower power level.
