Using your hob in complete safety
If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the appliance immediately to avoid any risk of
electric shock.
For disconnecting, remove the fuses or use the cutout switch
Do not re-use your hob until the glass surface has been changed.
Y
our hob must never be used as a storage space or cutting surface for any products whatsoever.
Never allow power cables for other electrical appliances to trail across the hob.
When cooking never use aluminium foil and never place products wrapped in aluminium foil or products
deep-frozen in aluminium packs on the hob. The aluminium will melt and damage your appliance irre-
parably. Do not leave empty pans on your hob in case of residual heat or if the hob is turned on by mis-
take.
If your hob is placed above your oven (see "Choice of Installation") thermal protectors prevent it being
used when the oven is being pyro-cleaned.
A steam cleaner must not be used.
Induced currents

For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active
implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference.
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.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to
comply with relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.
L
The principles of induction
When your induction hob is switched on and a
heating power has been selected, the electronic
circuits produce induced currents that
instantaneously heat the bottom of the pan that
transfers this heat to the food.
Thus cooking takes place with practically no
energy loss between the induction hob and the
food.
