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.

but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object
such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity mains immediately and contact a
Service Centre.

• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical

appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of
the hob.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for

at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An
indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is
present (

see Start-up and use

).

• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for

example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a
high sugar content. Be especially careful when using

plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on
surfaces which are still hot, they may cause serious
damage to the hob.

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.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local

legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of

exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.
